Jared was such an amazing person and a true friend. I will truly cherish every memory I have from work, playing basketball, lunches, and just hanging out with "The Boys". He was so good to my family. Flowers sent to my daughter when she was in the hospital to sending my wife ice cream for her birthday. We have peace knowing that your suffering is over and you are smiling down on all of us.
We love you Jared and will miss you terribly.

Jared, words can't express the the feelings running through my mind at this time. Trying to cram 34 years of memories into 50 words is tough. I'm so glad I had the chance to tell you just what you meant to me while you were still on this earth. I'll miss you every day. I had great honor working for and with you over the last 12 years. The friendship we had was a great one but 34 years just seems a little short to me. I'll miss hearing your voice and I'll cherish the text messages we shared the last 4 months of your life. Thank you for everything you did for me and my family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the members of your family. See you on the other side.

Jared- You are my friend! I have great memories of us growing up and I always looked up to you in how you lead your life! You are an example of what a man should be and I will always remember you for your wittiness and sense of humor. I saw Jared fighting to stay with us here on earth and I can't help to think that our Heavenly Father really needs the best we have here on earth for something super important on the other side! What a great man.
