I never really knew you that well, but from everything I heard from you and all that you did; you were a wonderful person. You'll never be forgotten Jared. By me, or any others that you held dear.

Hey, Jared. I was just reading all the posts on this guest book, man. I miss you so much. I am sitting here overwhelmed with sadness, wondering how I am going to get through the year without you. School is so empty now. I had a dream about you the other night. It was so comforting to be able to hug you and show you how much I love you, man. Don't forget to visit again soon. No amount of words can describe my sadness. No amount of words can do you justice, or honor your memory enough. I love you so much, man, and that will never change, no matter how long goes by. So, here it is. To you, Jared- My best friend, my brother-in-arms, my co-conspirator, my family. I will always love you, man, from now until the end of time. I miss you so much. Don't forget to visit us down here, man. With love, Connor.

For all the wonderfull times you've been at ZU, I would like to thank you. You were quite the person in the BA, I've heard. I never really knew you personally, but everyone said you were amongst the cool guys. It's very sad to see you leave like this.
Farewell, Jared Griffis a.k.a Duke Of Clubs.

Jared was a good man, but more importantly, a great poet.
And as I sat here contemplating his death and my own inevitable death, my mom got scared and said "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air."

I never REALLY knew him, but he was pretty funny. He was a good writer, too. So that's how I'll remember him. I wonder if they have zeldauniverse up in heaven.

I personally never talked to Jared, but I hope you realize how much of an impact he has made on many people's lives. It may have been through an online forum, but even now I feel has though he has left a great influence on me. We should all be grateful for his life and what life he has left for us. Rest in peace, Jared.

I, too, knew him from the same online site as the others. Jared was a great guy. I'm sorry for the loss you've had and the pain you're going through.
Jonathan Renwick

I am one of many who had the chance to know Jared through the online writing community mentioned in the replies. I am greatly shocked and upset by his death.
WE both lived in very different countries, but the few times we talked things like that were thrown aside. Perhaps none of us met him in real life, but the connection was still there, and it makes us appreciate how close we are.

I knew Jared as Duke of Clubs, and even then, I didn't know him that well. He was a funny man, and I now regret that I didn't take the chance to ask him for a RP while I could.
Goodbye, Duke.

Dear Griffis Family,
Jared was an incredible friend, peer, and "rival" to me. His wit, humor, and ever-enduring cheerfulness touched me from the first moment I met him. Sadly, I never had the honor to meet him in person, but I came to think of him as a brother as we became friends online.
Whenever I was sad or depressed, I merely had to talk to Jared, and his casual wit and hilarity always cheered me up without fail. I never even had to tell him that I was feeling down. Truely, Jared Philip Griffis was an individual that had no equal in talent, wit, or charm. To those who knew and loved him, he left a legacy in his amazing spirit.

January 26, 2008
Wow, it's shocking, it really is...
I'd like to express my sincerest condolences to the Griffis family; I know how it must be to have a loss like this, especially for such a strong personality as Jared was.
I can't say that I knew him personally, but I sincerely regret that, and, from what I saw on ZeldaUniverse, he was a fantastic guy and a really strong person, overall.
Death is a terribly strong thing, and you never really think it can happen to you, but when it does, it feels as though a hole has been ripped through you, and it hurts whenever the wind blows through it. I'm so sorry. Hang in there, guys.

Dear Griffis family,
In addition to all of those that knew him personally in his home area or elsewhere, Jared impacted the lives of those in communities brought together online. I am one of such people, just like those that posted before me. Jared and I became acquainted some time near 2003, and though I regrettably lost contact with him during the more recent months he was a good friend of mine across the years.
I can testify along with the dozens of others before me that Jared was an extremely sharp and talented person beyond his age. For whatever it is worth, as I have never met him face to face, I will never forget him, and my heart goes out to all of those who knew him personally for such a loss.
To end on a more positive, though perhaps trivial note, I am deeply honored (and unable to overstate how much) that Jared included a character visibly inspired by his friendship with me in his story, under the name of Aedin. Once again, for whatever it is worth, I have done the same for him in a story that I've been working on for some years now.
But above all, my heart goes out to all of those who lost Jared. I just ask that you forgive my verbose rambling.

I, unfortunately, never personally spoke to Jared--or Duke, as I better knew him--but his charisma, wit, style and talent caused me to develop a certain respect for him that many other people seemed to share for Jared.
He was truly a great person in every aspect, and I regret not getting to know him better.
Rest in Peace, Jared.

I always loved his writings. I wish I had gotten to know him better, he looked like a great person. My deepest condolences to all involved.

I too new Jared through an online site. I never truly got the chance to actually sit down and chat it up with him, and now, i regret not doing so. From what I've heard, Jared was a wonderful kid. I will miss him, and I will always regret not knowing him better. I hope Jared is happy in Heaven, rest in piece Duke of Clubs.
Amy Bolduc
January 25, 2008
I knew Jared from an online site as most of the people who wrote here. I didn't actually got to really know him, but as everyone knows, death isn't something that is good. Since I lost both my sister and grandmother, I've looked at death as a bad thing and something that causes a lot of sorrow.
What I wish is that your family try to stay together at this time period and try to get through everything. Look ahead and not behind, and continue forward. If you stay in the past, then you may not get out.
I send my prayers to your family.
RIP Jared, aka Duke of Clubs.

I, along with a few of the others, knew Jared on an online site. I enjoyed reading his writing, and always found his humor and ideas original and enjoyable. I don't know what else to say aside from that, 'cept he'll be missed.

To the Griffiths:
Even though I only knew your son by web, he was the best guy to talk to, period. The others at his supposed favorite site will miss him greatly.

I'm not going to lie. I barely knew Jared. We talked a few times now and then, but we never became close friends per say.
Now I regret that...
He was a wonderful person with a great sense of humor, and he will be missed by anybody who knew him.
Cristina Mamar
January 25, 2008
Like a few others here, I only met your son online. He had such a big impact on so many people - his humour, personality and vitality in life or just some of the things he will be remembered for.
He will be remembered though, because he was so important to so many lives around the world.
See you on the other side, Duke.

Dear Griffis family,
I too, knew Jared from an online site--I never knew him personally, but he was amazing person who always stood out in the crowd, having a significant impact on the whole community.
He held intelligence and talents beyond his years and this whole...thing saddens me greatly.
His humor and wisdom shall be missed greatly. My prayers are with you all.

Dear Griffis family,
I, too, knew Jared from an online site where we both wrote and eventually became friends. He was a wonderfully light-hearted and humorous guy, and a great friend to those who knew him. He was also a truly brilliant writer, and impacted so many people on that site through his words and vibrant personality. I will miss him greatly, and...my heart goes out to you all. You have my deepest sympathies.
May Jared rest in peace.

Dear Cindy, Phil, Wyatt, & Jackson,
You don't know me. But I know Jared. Many here have spoken for Jared and how he personally impacted their lives. Though I never knew him in person, he impacted me with every word he wrote. He shared writing with me on an online site. When I heard the news of such a loss, my heart broke. He impacted not only me, but every person on that site. God is now welcoming him into heaven with open arms, and all of us are grieving with you now. Your son was more of an influence on lives than you know. He will be kept close in our hearts as he leaves us for a better place. In this case, my words cannot express how deeply I regret such a young, talented man's death.
The greatest of sympathies.
Kathy Terrell

Cindy, Please know that you and Jared will remain in the hearts of the WAVE community always.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Even though I did not know your son, being a mom myself, I can't imagine the pain and loss that you are experiencing. I just received an email regarding Jared's death and I wanted to pass on my deepest sympathies and send my condolences. I will keep your family in my prayers and pray for healing for all of you. I know you must have been so proud of who he had become as a young man. I hope that you will receive comfort in knowing that Jared rests in a better place. I know that he will be missed. God bless.

We want to let you know how sorry we are to hear about Jared. He was a truly exceptional boy and was always so kind to us. We know what a wonderful son and brother he was and how close you were. We loved that he took care of our house while we left for the summer- we would leave without a worry, everything would be fine. We are heartbroken and want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,

We will be praying for you. "Grief is the other side of joy.

We are so saddened to hear of your tragic loss. Jared was an outstanding boy! Darrell enjoyed all the great years coaching Jared, and David loved having him as his catcher. We feel so fortunate just to say, “we were apart of his life”. We had some great baseball seasons that will always be remembered.
Keep the wonderful memories, and let them burn bright in your heart.
Sincerely, Coach Darrell, Rosalyn, David & Jake Sobotik

Cindy (and Phil)--
I can't even imagine what you are feeling. Denise and I always laugh about you and Carol (Hughes) and me with our 3 boys and how Denise is experiencing a little of that now with just Bryce and Donald at home. I didn't know Jared, but he has been a great son taken from you much too early. I pray for strength and healing in your grief. Hold on to those precious memories of Jared!!! Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.
January 9, 2008
Cindy and Phil,
I am so sorry to learn about your tragic loss of Jared. Karen K. called to let me know and we were both just numb (as mothers). While I can't imagine the grief that you all are experiencing, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. I am so glad Tom and Sam have been able to meet and visit with your boys over the years -- they are all fine young men and Jared was a super brother to Wyatt and Jackson. Someone told me that our pain in losing Wilson last year was a tribute to our love for him.

At times like this it is hard to find the right words to say. We can't even begin to imagine the pain your family is going through. Please know you have our thoughts and prayers with you.
Please take comfort in all the great memories you have. We pulled out the old team photo of 'The Floods' (Spring '98) when Jared, Ian, & team were dressed in those bright orange uniforms--a group of precious 5 year olds playing their 1st year of T-Ball.

We will miss Jared's talent in the Jazz Band. He was a great drummer. Not wanting to embarass Jared, our regret is not telling him how good he played at the recent Christmas performance.

Though we have never met, our hearts bleed for you and the pain you are going through right now. We are former Texans and a mutual friend told us of your tragedy. Our 18 year old son, Ryan, died in a drowning accident in July at a summer camp in Texas. Our lives were shattered, as yours are now.
When the dust settles, please feel free to contact us. We will lovingly share everything we know about how to survive this most unspeakable loss. In the meantime, you are in our thoughts & prayers. We really do know what you're going through and it's a living hell.

Your family is in our hearts and prayers. We wish we could be at the memorial service but we'll be thinking of you from this distance. We treasure lots of memories of Jared at a younger age - riding bikes beside Shannon in the July 4 parade, playing in the park, swimming at the pool, enjoying the reading activities at the library. And we are so impressed by what he accomplished. We honor his memory - He was a great example for all the other children in the neighborhood - so smart, thoughtful, interested, polite and independent. We send our love.

To the Griffis Family:
Jared was my old classmate in WAVE and I can't even to begin to comprehend what you are feeling right now. Jared was always known as a brilliant and well spoken kid and served as an example for his classmates to follow. I just wanted to let you know that all of the WAVE community deeply feels this loss and will always respect Jared for the great kid he was.
