Not sure what to say?

I was proud to work with Mr. Tarvin. I worked with him at La Jolla high school. I learned a lot from him. He was a strong influence in my career as a Career Counselor. When I was transferred to another school I was sorry to leave because I truly admired this good man. My prayers are with his family.

Remembering a great man, praying for others to continue his work. Our schools are so needy in this culture today. May his family find God's joy in happy memories.

We will all really miss Jay. He WAS La Jolla High School! Our family was so lucky to be there during the years he was principal. May he rest in peace. Judi, Frank, Brent and Kathy Gordon.

To use terms like caring, hands-on, devoted educator, brillant, fun to be around, a life changer, a community motivator, and the name J.M. Tarvin in the same breath is redundant. He will be greatly missed.

So many wonderful memories of this great man. Although he influenced so many students, teachers, parents he was really a man who changed our community and how many of us parents interacted with our local middle & high school. His door was always (ALWAYS) open and anyone and everyone was welcome to drop in. He is a giant amoung giants - there will never be another J.M. Tarvin. He was a gift.

Judy, Wendell and I would like to express our sympathy in your loss. Less than 2 months ago it was your wonderful mother, now your husband. A death is so difficult at any time of the year, but now at the holidays it is especially hard. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

It's with deep sympathy that I send this message to the family of J.M.Tarvin. Death is not an easy thing to go through, but just know that God is waiting to heal your broken hearts. Psalms 147: 3
Sincerely,
Valeria
