My heart dropped when I saw this,but God is still God and he wouldn't give us more than we can bare. Jared was my manager 11yrs ago at Wendy's . May your soul rest peacefully.

Words can't express the feelings that I am having right now. Ive only worked with Jared for about 4 months but through all the talks I felt like we were child hood friends. I can't believe he is no longer with us. To the parents: "God only knows." Its not up to us to ask why but for us to understand that God has a bigger purpose for him and that he is now in a great resting place.
