Douglas "Jared" Meek

I knew Jared. He loved eating chocolate covered cherries, occasionally pulling fire alarms, surfing and baseball. What a great kid! This is a tough loss for all who knew him. I know this post is late, but Jared has been in my thoughts lately and I wanted to express my condolences to his wonderful family.
Peace.

Dear Brooke and Brent I am so very sorry to hear of your loss, it saddens me to know you are hurting. I pray you will heal from the sadness and pain from the of your son. Be strong and trust in the Lord. May God Bless you.

I first met your son when I was servicing your pool several years ago and he was such a bright young man with a beautiful smile. I got to know him over a period of time and we would talk and he would always encourage me. I was very impressed with what a fine young man he was. Although I don't golf, we had some friends in common that spoke "he could have been a pro golfer" and they liked him so much that they would always want him on their team. When I met the both of you and we talked about...

I'm very heart broken to read about Jared. He and my son Michael grew up together. I do really appreciate your honest and truth filled obituary of him. Having lost my Michael to addiction. I hope and pray that other will read and it may make some difference in someone else's family Thank you. My prayers to the family.

I'm was so saddened to hear about Jered.Actually shocked. And my heart sank as I too have been in the families shoes. I hope they make it through this horrible time. Time does ease the heart. May you have wonderful memories of your wonderful son. Pam Neil

The world is a little dimmer, a little less kind and missing a little sparkle without Jared in it. I am sad I couldn't be there Saturday to hug the Meeks and pay my respects in person but I did think about him a lot that day. Our templeton family lost one of our bright spots.

Jared was a fun, friendly, and nice guy. He was truly and sincerely that nice and good. My sons met him in middle school and their friendships continued on through high school and beyond. Golf was a big thing, school dances, having fun. This whole group of nice people, boys and girls, really enjoyed their young lives together and Jared was a central, main part of that. His smile....who can top that?

My deepest condolences go out to the Meek family.

Jared was able to get me started on my own recovery in 2014 (when no one else could) and for that I will forever be grateful. It's not a stretch at all to say he saved my life.

Rest in peace Jared and thank you so much...

I'll always remember Jared as the young lefty on our baseball team who's smooth swing would send the ball soaring down the right field line. But he was more than that. He was a hard working, gracious, and kind person. And although it had been years since seeing him, whenever I think of some of those moments that made my youth special, Jared is in them. I'm thankful to have known Jared.
