Oh, how my heart aches for all of you who are fortunate enough to know Jared. Jared's absence and memory will be felt forever in heart and mind and our lives will never be the same. He is a charming young man who truly enjoyed all of his family and every friend. We have all been blessed by his smile, laughter, silliness, fun times and so much more. He too was richly blessed by those he loves and cares for and those who love and care for him.

James, what an incredible father you...

Jared was certainly a favorite of everyone at the Edgemoor Rec Center. He made the kids around him better with his positive attitude.
Jon Sidwell asked me once: "out of all the kids who have ever come to Edgemoor for our summer camps, who would you want your own son to grow up to be like?". Without a beat I answered "Jared".
My own son is 11 years old now and I am happy to say that he to loves to smile, act like a ham, and most importantly is kind to everyone he meets....

Dear James and Chris and families,
Our hearts go out to you at this difficult time. From the moment he was born, to the time when he was tragically taken from this life, Jared did nothing but spread joy to others. His musical talents and enthusiasm for life will be the memories that we will always hold on to. Our boys looked up to their older cousin as someone to emulate; as Dawson put it, "He was the coolest person at Grandma Jane's". Our thoughts and prayers are with you both now and for...
