Jared "Bo" Valdez

You were such a great guy. You were considered a friend, a brother, and even a son. You were there to wake the lazy ones (kim) up and even to put her and i to bed. You were there to talk to, and whenever we needed a shoulder to cry on you were also there. We all loved you, and even though we all left on good terms with you, we wish that we could have had more time with you. If only we would have talked to you more whenever you called us, if only we paid more attention. Thank you for never...

This is your second cousin Imelda, I am Irma's cousin, Ramiro and Olivia's Daughter, I pray for your family and know Heavenly Father is watching over you now. Thank you for serving our county.

Hey Jared. I really miss you alot! I was thinking about all the fun times we had when we were younger. Playing hide and seek late at night with ALL of our billion cousins and the neighbors kids on Beckman St.Yall would always hide in the trees when I was it because I could'nt climb the tree. HAHa. When you, AJ, and I would throw paint and tape in eachothers hair when we were helping my dad on his paint jobs. Or when we got in trouble for walking to Northline mall and not telling our parents...

To the Valdez Family, we were very saddened to hear about Jared. He was one of our many brothers that we grew up with. But we all know that we will be able to see him one day. He will always be in our hearts and prayers. You have always been with us and now its our turn. We love you all from The Salgado Fam.

Hey Bo
Your the best friend a friend could ever have, the most beautiful person I have met and the friendliest. You are also the hardest one I have lost. I will miss you so dearly.

This world needs more people like you, I'll miss you everyday your gone, life will never be the same with out you. Love you dearly

Your Bro

Jared,
The news was very unexpected and I never imagined in a million years that I would have to endure such an experience. I'll always remember Anna babysitting Adriean and Sarah, then you and Lisa came along with Goo to follow. It was always GREAT being around your family. It was a couple of years that went by and I couldn't believe how you had grown when you were living with Moe. You had matured to a young man, I was also excited to hear that you were in The Navy. Just like...

I am so sorry to hear about Jared. I remember my brother Joey would play outside when they were young. Mr. and Mrs. Valdez, you are in my prayers.

I am stationed in Sasebo and met Jared about 3 months ago. We spent a lot of our weekend time together and I always enjoyed his company and his smile. Jared was a wonderful person and will be missed.

I did not know Jared or the Valdez family but I would like you to know that we are too grieving his passing. He was protecting me and my family and there is no way to ever thank him for that but I thank his family for giving the world the privilege and opportunity of having him here for the time that he was here. God bless Jared and his family...our prayers are with you.
