Not sure what to say?

Sorry to hear about the passing of Jared, I never did meet him, but I knew most of the family. My deepest condolences go out to all the family. Gods makes everything beautiful in His own time, Ecc. 3-11

I came to know Jared through mutual friends and family over the last few years. Every moment I shared with him was special. He was full of light and love. I’ll always remember him this way

Thank you Jared for being my very first friend when we moved to Lawrenceburg on Whitney Avenue. I will hold on to the beautiful childhood memories and all the laughter for eternity. So thankful we were able to rekindle our friendship over the last few years. Sending my love and prayers of peace for Judy and all the family. ALL my LOVE -Smiley☺

My thoughts and prayers are with Jared’s family. I always enjoyed sitting and talking with Jared at church.

So sorry for your loss you will be in our prayers

I enjoyed having Jared as a third grade student. He always strived and succeeded for perfection.

I will miss my friend, roommate, and fraternity brother of 30+ years. There are very few people I can or could call and no matter how much time had passed between our last conversation; we knew almost nothing had changed. Safe travels my friend! I hope they let you listen to good music where ever you are now and get to keep being you. Love you bro

I'm sorry to hear this. My prayers and thoughts go out to Judy and the Crawford family.

May God bless and bring you peace knowing that Jared is bringing joy and laughter to the angels in heaven.
