Jared Hill Obituary


HILL, Jared Ross Passed away suddenly on September 22, 2007 in Victoria. Jared was born on June 10, 1985 in Victoria and is loved and missed more than words can say by his parents, Kathy and Ross, his sister Jane and brother Joel, his grandparents, Nadene and Ken Hill (Shawnigan Lake) and Betty and Mel Smith (Qualicum), as well as his uncles and aunts and cousins, Wade Hill (Paris), Brett and Lisa Hill, Louise, Barry, Julie and Richard Martin (Duncan), Lee, Laurie, Garret and Madison Hill (Prince George), Maureen Smith, Alex, Laura, and Emma Thorne (Vancouver), Debbie Smith and Heather Smith (Nanaimo). He is also missed and remembered by the Jackson's, Woodward's and Kim Thorne, as well as his buddies and their families in Gordon Head (HP7) and his girl friend Devon who shared his passion for water skiing. Jared loved being with his family and friends. He loved to sing, listen to music, play his guitar, water-ski, play soccer and hockey and watch the Canucks. He was working towards becoming an accountant. He left us much too soon and we will miss his bright smile, caring nature and his love. A funeral will be held in the Arbutus Middle School gym (2306 Edgelow) on Saturday, September 29 at 2pm. Flowers gratefully declined and in lieu of flowers donations may be made to research for Diabetes or Cancer; the Camosun College Foundation or the Victoria Hospitals Foundation. 412564

No words can express the grief you must feel at this time. Jared was an amazing young guy that I was priveledged enough to know. A couple of years ago, my purse was stolen from a Thriftys' Christmas party and everyone was leaving at the end of the night and Jared was so sweet and stayed to help me look and that's just one example of his selfless, wonderful personality that I will always remember and miss. His smile always lit up my day and I looked forward to our chats over hockey or Shawnigan or just random day-to-day stories. He will be missed and my thoughts are with all of his friends and family at this time.

And can it be that in a world so full and busy, the loss of one person makes a void in any heart, so wide and deep that nothing but the width and depth of eternity can fill it up.


We are connected, my child and I, by an invisible cord not seen with the eye. It's not like the cord that connects us until birth, this cord isn't seen by any on earth. The cord does its work, right from the start, it binds us together attached to my heart. I know that it's there though no one can see, the invisible cord from my child to me. The strength of this cord is hard to describe, it can't be destroyed, it can't be denied. It's stronger than any cord man could create, it withstands all tests, can hold any weight. And though you are gone and not here with me, the cord is still there but no one can see. It pulls my heart, I am bruised ... I am sore, but this cord is my lifeline like never before. I feel you are with me each step that I take, bound by the cord that no one can break. I am thankful to God, he connects us this way, a mother and child, death can't take it away.

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real...

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves a memory no one can steal

From a Mom who understands your pain.

My deepest sympathies, Love Allie

Dear Ross, Kathy, and Family,

We’re sure you’ve been hearing the same words over and over since Jared’s death…none of us know what to say or how to express the depth of sorrow we feel for your loss. What we do know is that we can’t understand what hell you must be going through right now. The depth of your pain must be immense, and because of this, we’re paralyzed to help. But please know that we are here and ready if there’s anything we can possibly do. In the meantime, we’ll be thinking about your entire family, and perhaps more importantly, remembering and talking about the joy Jared brought to everyone who knew him.

All our love.
Rob & Charmaine

Hey Jared
Thanks for all the times you took me for a ski, despite the fact I had two skis and never did take a water ski lesson! Your patience was endless. I will never listen to music or watch a canuck game without you in my thoughts and heart. Keep smilin' and singin' Jared. Love you, Auntie Heath.

Kathy,Ross,Janie,& Joel, my thoughts and prayers are with you all during this most difficult time. Your family has such an amazing spirit and I have been blessed to share so many memories with all of you over the years. Jared was an amazing guy and I will always hold dear his kindness and compassion along with all the wonderful memories shared at your home in Victoria and Sproat Lake. He was always so kind and encouraging when I would "attempt" to ski. I am so sad that I won't be able to attend the service this weekend as I am directing as well as acting in a short play festival, however, I will dedicate the show i've directed as well as my performace in Jares name. If I can shine even half as much as he did, I think i'll do okay. Thinking of you and sending all my love! Courts xox

Jared

I remember the day you came into my life, at Shawnigan Lake, so vividly....your smile, your energy, and your spirit. You lit up our dock with your passion to waterski,your distinctive hat, and your foot stomping upbeat music. You knew how to live life, and people loved to be around you to share that enthusiasm. We also shared another passion.... for Devon, my beautiful and now heartbroken daughter, who you treated with so much love, patience, kindness, and respect.... I am so grateful you came into mine and my family's lives, and we will all miss you so dearly. My heart out goes to all your family that you were so close to, and your many,many, friends....you were a special man.....and will be so sorely missed....but never forgotten.
