I'm so very sorry to loose a special person, and Jarod was special. He worked with my brother Brad here in Florida. B&M Fence and he worked hard. He became a part of OUR family during his stay here in Florida. I loved him like he was my own son or brother. He was always there to help. IN October of this past year, I broke my ankle, Jarod stopped by on his way home after work to check on me. He also help me with my horses. And my dogs loved him. He came to all of our family get together s. I was Blessed to see Jarod on his way out of Gainesville. I gave him Hugs and told him to be careful. I will miss him so very much. He was the kind of man I would want to marry my daughter, raise my grand kids and take care of me when I'm old. But GOD wanted him more then we needed him. God Bless you my special Friend. I'm so very sorry for all the Dillingham Family. Jarod was special and it was because of his family that made him who he was. HUGS......

Dear Trudi, My heart is heavy for your loss, I know there are no words to take away your pain and emptiness, I can only offer your family my love and heartfelt prayers. Dear Lord, our Almighty Father, I pray you send your angels of mercy to comfort Trudi, Jim and Jamie during this oh so difficult time. Let your angels hold them as they weep, lay with them as they try to sleep, listen when they need to talk and carry them when they cannot walk. I pray, dear Father, you hold their broken hearts in the palm of your hand as they struggle through their loss. Sustain this loving family through their grief. Grant them peace, show them your mercy and let Jarod shine on in your eternal light, dear heavenly Father. Keep him close. I pray this in Jesus name, Amen.

You are in our thoughts and prayers. He was loved by Phil and me, and he helped us so much with the many projects we had for him to work on. He was kind and so lovable. I'll miss his hugs. I know how hard it is to lose a son, there's not a day that goes by that you don't miss him. I hope he and my son find each other in heaven. I'll pray for that.

We meet Jarod just two years ago. He was a marvel of enthusiasm and had such a great attitude in work and conversation. So much so in fact, that we had him help us with our new home requiring him to drive daily to Grand Rapids. We were grateful for his willingness to do so. His great attitude will be missed. We sure appreciated knowing him and pray for his family with their overwhelming loss.
