Jarrod Faust Obituary
Reno - On February 11, 2020 a kind soul was taken too soon. As we think about his life we know his good nature, his sense of humor, and the light he brought into the lives of those around him will never be replicated or forgotten. He was an incredible son, brother, grandson, nephew, uncle, cousin, and a friend to many.
Jarrod was born on August 24th, 1990 in Reno to a loving family. His childhood was filled with happiness that was brought into his adult life. Most weekends growing up were spent playing the sports he loved, being coached by his father, and the fathers of those who became his closest friends. His family was always in the stands to cheer him on with his sisters cheering from the sidelines. He attended Reno schools and graduated from Galena High School playing multiple sports, gaining great friends, and enjoying life. He then went to Feather River Community College to continue playing football as a running back. Jarrod returned to Reno and pursued his passion of health and fitness.
Jarrod was an intelligent, funny, persistent, hardworking, loving man who appreciated the simple things in life. He enjoyed snowboarding, movie nights with his parents, being in the gym, a good sitcom, working with his mom, watching Sunday football with his dad (cheering for the Dolphins, win or lose), and being the best friend he could. He was an animal lover, the best uncle to his niece and nephew, and was known to make funny comments without realizing how funny they were. Jarrod's life left a deep imprint on all of our hearts.
Jarrod is survived by Craig and Karen Faust (parents), Jordan Faust (sister), Ashley Evans (sister), Rick Evans (brother-in-law), Anna Menicucci (grandmother), Reese and Margie Faust (grandparents), aunts and uncles Andrea and Jeff Ardito, Chrissy and Alex Benna, Julie Ardito, Stacie and Lauren Graves, Janine Richards, Eric Beye, and Troy Lane; and cousins Amelia and Olivia Lane, Dominic and Morgan Beye, Cassie Richards, Sean and Alli Graves; nephew Maverick Evans and niece Lucy Evans,. Jarrod also leaves behind a cherished circle of friends. He was predeceased by his grandfather former Reno Mayor Bruno Menicucci.
There will be a private service held for family. A Celebration of Life will take place on February 21st at 2 pm at a family residence. For the address please email [email protected], call or text 775-848-5740.

A light that burns bright and true never goes out, its just burning in a place we are not yet prepared to see, but one day we will again and what a wonderful day that will be! Jarrod, I didnt get to spend much time with you, but during our conversations I felt your genuine kindness, your selfless caring, and your devotion to family. Your absence is felt deeply. I pray for peace, comfort and healing for all your family and friends.

Oh, my...Another reminder to tell someone how much they mean to us while they are living. Jarrod always greeted me with an award winning smile at Caughlin Health Club. I was so irritated one day at a cancelled class and he walked me around looking for something else, smiling the whole time. I left without a class, but Jarrod made me a happy customer. My heart goes out to his many family and friends. So, so sorry for your loss.

I was only an acquaintance of Jarrod. I graduated from Galena the same year he did. I used to see him at South RAC and we chatted a few times since high school. He was always a very good hearted guy. I live in the area of his family's home so I used to see him driving all the time and just passed by him 2 weeks ago. I will miss those small encounters we had. Some pain we never forget. ♡

I'm going to miss hearing all of his adventures as he became a CMT and him giving his dad a hard time, his smile and making him blush. He was such good looking, sweet and kind man. He always helped me out when he could... doing team ball with the Adventure Camp kids, carrying heavy things up stairs or using his big muscles in one way or another. I'm so grateful for our friendship. He will be missed. God gained another angel way too soon. My deepest condolences go out to his family. Rip Jarrod.
