Jared Tolley Obituary
Jared was born on October 2, 1973, in Bountiful Utah to his proud parents Michael and Janice (VanTussenbrook) Tolley. Jared is one of 4 boys. Jared followed his father into the industry of plumbing obtaining his Journeyman Plumbers license, working as a plumber starting with A&B Mechanical and finished with Snow Peak Plumbing until his untimely passing.
Jared was fun loving, and a passionate man. He was an excellent cook and loved fine foods; he enjoyed fishing, camping, jeeping in Moab with family, and watching sports with his brothers, especially his beloved basketball team the Utah Jazz and Utah Utes Football.
Jared's most treasured accomplishment and joy is his daughter Aria. Jared was excited to be a father; she was his world. As devoted father there wasn't a soccer game, dance recital, or school event he wouldn't be there for her. They are father and daughter forever connected strongly and now invisibly as fishing line.
Jared was preceded in death by Grandparents, Doug and Vesta Tolley, Tuss and Carol VanTussenbrook and Uncle Craig Tolley. He is survived by his daughter Aria, His parents Mike and Janice Tolley, his brothers Michael J (Kimberley), Marshall (Desiree), Dallas (Missy), His nieces and nephews, Katherine, Kayleigh, Emma, Mia, Mason, Milena, Cohen, Alivia, Jack, His beloved friend Gin, aunts, uncles, cousins, and his dog Zoe.
We will cherish the memories and hold them in our hearts, Jared is now fishing the shores we cannot see, until we meet again. Love you Jare

Jared was such a great dad I love him so much I hated when I heard he passed after I got home from school.. I remember when he would pick me up from my house and we would go to a restaurant together for dinner that night or we would go to a gas station before we got home I would always be able to get something he was an amazing dad I miss him so much! We had some amazing memories together

Jared used to come into my music store that was down by Brighton High school and drool on my guitars! He was always such a nice guy to talk to that never stopped smiling...RIP, good man!

Haven't seen Jared for years, but sure did have a lot of good times hanging out with him. He was a very genuinely good dude as you are all aware. I am grateful that I know him and that he and his friends included me in their circle back in the day. My sincere condolences to Marshall and Desiree, and Dallas.

I meet Jared through my brother Daryl, Jared was always the life of the party and such a genuine soul. I was so saddened to hear of his passing though I haven't seen him for years he will always have a special place in my heart.

I became friends with Jared through John Dearden during our high school years. The three of us had many adventures and had a ton of fun riding around town in his jeep! We hadn't spoken in a long time but had recently reconnected through Instagram. My deepest condolences to his family.
