Not sure what to say?

Jarod, I only found out today that you had moved on to continue your work in Heaven. I am in utter shock and am so saddened to hear of your passing.
We had alot of fun hanging out when you worked at Six Flags and I know alot of people miss you! I have thought of you and our friends often and miss the good ol' days.
You are surely in a better place my friend, but we sure do miss you here.
God Blessed all of us by bringing you into our lives.

We offer our deepest sympathy. When tragedy strikes and takes the life of our loved ones, many cry out with great sorrow. Your tears are not unnoticed by the Creator of Life. Never was it his purpose for our human lives to be taken away. Although your deep pain will not easily disappear, prayer to God will bring comfort to you as you grieve. The Bible assures us God "is healing the broken hearted ones, and is binding up their painful spot." Psalm 147:3

Dean Family,

Jarod was a classmate of mine at St Stans. I remember him always being a bit of a prankster and always being able to make me laugh at any time of the school day (even times where we probably shouldnt have... haha).

I remember serving Mass with him. I remember the one time when he fell down doing something (some kinda goofing off) in the servers room and did something to his arm. I dont know if he broke it exactly or what. But that always stayed in my...

You will forever be in our hearts. You touched the lives of so many in the short time you were here on earth. We know you are in a better place now but our hearts are still heavy. We will miss all the sunday dinners, the meetings at the breakfast table, the late night calls and all the good times we had. But most of all we are going to miss you, your smile and your laughter. You became a big part of our family and we will forever cherish those memories. Both Jason and I lost a good friend -...

Jarod,
I dont think there are enough words to express how much you really meant to me. I love you with all my heart and that will never change. Lets face it, I have loved you from the very first time you kissed me. Through out all of our issues and hard times I have never stopped loving you. You were the kind of person I can only hope to be. Your dedication to your job and the community were unlike any other. Everytime you would come home and tell me about going to the schools and seeing...

I had the privilege to know Jarod only briefly when he worked security on 3rd shift at a Hudson facility were I worked recently.He was always very professional,courteous,caring and willing to smile, even after a 14 hour day! It was quite obvious that Jarod put his heart and soul into everything he did.I remember feeling very comfortable and safe knowing Jarod was there for us,and it was a pleasure and an honor to have met him.
