An Idaho man missing since Saturday was found dead after his family became concerned when he didn’t show up for Father’s Day, the Boise Police Department said.

“Thank you to everyone who expressed concern for Jason,” the department posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Sadly, he has been located deceased and our thoughts are with his family.”

Police spokesperson Haley Williams told the Idaho Statesman that he was “found near his bike, a little way off the road” near West Harvard and North Orchard streets.

“His cause of death and exactly what happened is still under investigation,” Williams said by email.

Police said there “does not appear to be any evidence of foul play.”

Jason was last seen driving his 2002 black Honda 1800 motorcycle west on Gowen Road, which runs behind the Boise Airport, at around 11:30 p.m. Saturday, the Boise Police Department posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
