We were so saddened to see Jared's obituary in the newspaper. It has been so many years since we've seen you folks and we remember you both as the "Kids" in the snowmobile club. Jared was such a wonderful young man. He was always there to lend a hand, share a story or just make us laugh. Our memories of him are sweet. May you find peace in knowing there are many who care and who loved that young man of yours.

Melissa, kids and extended families.
Jared was a pleasure to work with and always had a great attitude. When it came to business he worked hard but he always had time to be kind to everyone. Always willing to play a trick or tell a funny joke to get others to laugh…which was always rewarded by a larger-than-life smile from him! May he rest in peace.
