💛 What an incredible day in Fort Scott. 💛
On behalf of the Kansas Auto Body Association, we want to say THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for the 2026 KABA Golf Tournament in Memory of Jason Findley.
This year’s tournament was about so much more than golf.
37 teams came together in Fort Scott to spend a day remembering Jason, sharing stories, laughing, reconnecting with old friends, making new ones, and celebrating a man who meant so much to so many people.
Throughout the day, one thing was impossible to miss: Jason was loved.
There was a genuine sense of fellowship everywhere you looked, and seeing that many people come together to honor his memory made this tournament incredibly special. We believe Jason would have been proud to see the friendships, laughter, generosity, and probably a little friendly competition taking place in his honor.
We want to give a huge THANK YOU to all of our sponsors who helped make this special day possible:
Kansas Auto Body Association • 2-Far Design Co. • ABC Autobody Color • ADAS Smart • Casper Enterprises • ColorVision • Forester Farms Cattle Co. • Elliott Group • Hunter Engineering Company • Sharky’s Pub & Grub • 5 Corners • Supreme Mechanical Solutions (SMS) • KC Frost Wagon • Missouri Auto Body Association • Findley’s Body Shop Near Me • CARS Cooperative
We also owe a special thank you to CARS Cooperative for all of the administrative help behind the scenes leading up to the tournament. From helping us get everything organized and set up to supporting the details necessary to bring an event like this together, your help was greatly appreciated. And a huge thank you to Brian Williams and his great crew over at Butcher Block for donating their time as well as donating a delicious lunch for all of those in attendance. Events like this don’t happen without people willing to put in the work long before everyone arrives at the golf course, and we are extremely grateful for your support.
And finally, thank you to Fort Scott and everyone who showed up for Jason. The turnout and support were a powerful reminder of the impact one person can have on a family, an industry, a community, and the lives of the people around him.
We set out to create a day worthy of Jason’s memory.
Because of all of you, that’s exactly what happened.
Thank you for being part of something we will never forget. 💛
In memory of Jason Findley.
Gone, but certainly not forgotten.
