Sitting here at work, I know I have a job still not something I'd ever thought I'd say. I miss you everyday, not having you, Pop and Nana here just feels empty. I wish you were here to see how big Hannah and Brae are and the young women they've become, they would have loved their Uncle Jared. I hope to see you again one day big bro, until that day watch over everyone. Love you

Thinking of you.. Missing you
Dawn

It is hard to believe that it is 13 years since that horrible phone call any parent doesnt want to believe. As the years go by we go on living because you would want us to but everyday, several times a day there will be a song, a sign ❤, a smell that I know you are with me. I often think of who you be today. I miss you more than words can say love you Jared

Oct 2, 2006, six years but it feels like yesterday. I can't sleep.. I can't breathe.. I just think of why.. why did this happen.. what is the real story behind this horrible tragedy. I'm so sorry i wasn't there for you taking your last breath. Every new baby I think of how you were so good with kids and how many kids you would have today. I feel cheated I didn't get a grandchild from you or watch you get married.The holidays are not the same, you were the one who loved the family get togethers.
Continue being our Angel, we feel you are with us at time in need.
Love and Miss you. Love Mom

It is hard to believe it is five years. I cannot express how much I miss you. I am sitting here remembering that day wishing it was a nightmare and I would wake up to your daily phone call. I miss you so much that there is this huge hole in my heart that will never heal, I know I must choose to go on living but there is always a moment everyday I want to give up but then there will be a butterfly or a song on the radio that lets me know you are with me. I Love You

Just sitting here at work thinking about how you use to call me everyday and say what are you doing mom... and I always replied Jared I am working. How I miss those phone calls. You would be 30 years old this year... I wonder would you be married or would you have children. I wish there was a "little Jared" in this world. But soon Sam will have her "little Jared" and I can't wait to see him. He will have a special place in my heart since he is named after you and I'm sure you will be his Guardian Angel from above. Just needed to write..... I miss you more than anyone can imagine. They say a tear is made up of 1% water and 99% of feelings... oh how true!

You have always been here for all of us and you will live in our hearts forever!

JARED,
Its been two years since you pasted away, not a day goes by where our family doesn't think about you. Its been hard to move on and I don't think we will ever heal comeplety. We sit and think about the good times and the memories laughing at the things we used to do. The Eagles games that we used to talk about after every game you always being right and me always wrong. Those are the memories I will never forget. ONE day we will be together again untill that day watch over all of us!

know it's hard when you can't see his face
but don't you worry, he's in a better place
i know you miss him, he misses you too
but you have to move on, it's what you have to do
tell yourself you'll be alright and a prayer for him at night
he'll always be there looking over you
even when you're sad or blue
i promise you, you'll be okay, just think about another day
a day when you will be with him and the world will not be quite so dim.

Jared,
Its been so long since i wrote and i just wanted to say we all miss you so much. Hannah is beautiful and getting so big. I wish her uncle Jared could be here to see her grow. we talk about you so often to her and show her pictures. I know you are watching over her and see all the things she can do. Watch over her always.
Your Mom and Zach do this often for you:
As I light this candle in memory of you I still remember the awful pain of losing you. Though you are gone from my sight, deep in my heart your flame will always burn bright. My eyes are often filled with tears but not as much as they were in those first few days.
When I close my eyes I can still see your smile and hear your laugh as I think of you. As I now stare at the flame of the candle I can see images of you dancing in the light. So as the flame burns brighter so shall my love be even stronger for the rest of my days.

Jared,
Hannah is getting so big now! She is starting to crawl and soon she'll be walking and running around. I Know that you're watching over her, but it's still not the same. Every Night when I smoke my last cig I look up at the stars and hope that your sitting right there with me.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

hey jared, well we got through the wedding and some how things were perfect so i know you had a part in that. Your brother did great and enjoyed himself so much, you would have too. We knew it would be a hard day and you were very missed. So i guess im your sister in law now but you always new that was going to happen eventually. So i know you have told me before that we were good for eachother so im pretty sure i already had your blessing. Plus you know that noone else would put up with zach and keep him in line like i do! We are trying to pick out names now for the baby and my god we are not really coming up with many. I wish we knew what we were having so it would help narrow it down. I know zach will be a great father and i wish you were hear to see the baby grow up, you were always really good with kids. Today is Memorial Day and we came to see ya. Zach and I both wanted to have a picnic today and it turned out really good. I think he really wanted it too because he knew you always liked being around the family for holidays or get togethers. The day was so nice and everyone had a great time. Its these times i think you are around us most helping everyone enjoy themselves like you always did. Zach has been really getting out alot and going places, stay by his side and help him through it like i know you have been. We miss you and love you

Were now 1 day away from the big Day! I only wish you were there in person, but I know you will be watching over all of us. I've been doing good lately taking one day at a time. I went to your softball game and watched them retire your number in your honor. It was really special. Shara is now 4 months only five more to go. I cant wait to be a father and to hold the baby for the first time. Well there will be a seat right next to me at the wedding for you and I know you will looking down upon me. LOVE YOU~!
May 9, 2007
Hey Jake! In just a couple days your brother will be walking down the isle to get married. Can you believe it's here already? Jim will be standing in for you. I know that would make you happy. We are all so happy for Zach and Shara as I know you are too. I know that you will be there. Smile down on all of us and help Zach get through this day. I love you and miss you.

Jared,
Ok so i havent wrote for a long time and i just have a couple things i want to say. The biggest is that we all miss you so much. The holidays were a really hard time for your family and i know that you got them through it. Zach is doing better than i could ever imagine, but he still needs you. We talk about you alot and all the memories we have about you. You just had a way of making people forget about all the problems and getting us to laugh. I find myself at school remembering your words "any new hot chics yet, or your gotta hook me up" I miss all the talks and how you always seemed to make sense of things even if i didnt always agree. The last couple weeks have really been hard on zach, i know your watching over him so please continue to help him through this. The other day we were trying to pick a song to dedicate at the wedding for you and it was just so hard to find that perfect song that explains how everyone feels. Its going to be realy hard that day to celebrate without you, zach will have a seat right next to him for you! Well i think thats all i have to say for now next time i wont wait so long to write~ watch over your family and friends~ we miss you

Well there is so much to say. Lets start here Your god daughter is now a year old and she is walking around and she getting in to everything i know that you can see her and every time she sees your picture she starts to laugh and giggle so she knows who u where and know i am working as a security Guard at VF yeah i would give u some parking tickets and i will be starting to go to the gyn and i will be working out and i will going to try out for the reading express team and i know that u will be there when i go and tryout you will help me and i hope that i can fofill the dream that we had together about playing football together and that is what my life will be about and my family. You have tought me alot about life that u can't go through life worrying what other poeple are thinkg about you because you will not get anywhere in life living like that and that you have to take life one step at a time. well i miss u alot and i am always thinking about you big guy see you later love ya.

Jared,
Every day I wait for you to call me or me to call you like we always did. You would always tell me Zach SOME PEOPLE WORK FOR A LIVING! I never thought I would miss those words so much! Sometimes I just sit and think about all the stuff we used to talk about, how we would stay up talking about sports and You were ALWAYS right and I was always wrong. Im getting married in about 4 months, you'll have a seat right next to me! Your forever in my heart!
Love, Zach

Jared,
Today is the 22nd, only a few more days till Christmas. I am still wondering how I am going to go through this holiday without you and the holiday that you LOVED so much. I placed a tree for you, Zachary has done an article in the paper, I purchased oil lamps with your name on them to burn on "SPECIAL" occasions, and I wear your thumb print around my neck that Michele has purchased for me but only if you were here instead. So many things go through my mind of that night...all the if only
and whys....
I miss you and Merry Christmas!
Love mom

Our hearts go out to Jared's family. Had we known, we would have been at the funeral to pay our respects. Jared was a great guy. We both remember him as "the funny guy" in school. We will miss you Jared!

Jared you are deeply missed. You are in our thoughts during this holiday season. Our prayers are with you and also with your friends and family. It will be hard to not experience you entering a doorway with your zest for life and adventure. We pray that your love for your friends and family give them comfort during this holiday season.

Jared,
It has been over a month now and I read these entries every day. But, I haven’t written to you until today. I guess in my own way I was not ready. I was not ready to deal with my own feelings. It’s time.
There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of you and try to figure out why you left. Sometimes I am sad, sometimes angry and even sometimes at peace because I know that you are in heaven with all of those who passed before you.
I remember everything ~ the day you came home from the hospital when you were born, the first time I held you that very same day, watching you grow, your love for animals, your tremendous cooking and baking skills, your loud music, all the dents and crazy excuses for each in your cars (I particularly love the one about that huge dent in your door that you insisted was you’re butt print??), your various girlfriends (you stud!), your smile, your love for your family, your over-use of cologne, and the fact that you could never empty a trash can or buy toilet paper. There is so much more. Everything Jared, I remember everything. I go over those memories every day so I will never forget any of them.
I ask Lillie where Jared is and her answer is always “Heaven”. Then I ask her what Jared’s favorite thing to do to her was and she always replies “To give me kisses”. Yep, I tell her because he loved you! I do this with her all the time so that she will always remember. Molly is still struggling with the rest of us to figure this all out. She misses you.
I want to thank you for the strength you gave to our family. Your role here on earth was to be the protector. You took care of all your brothers, sisters, and cousins ~ actually all of us at one time or another. I believe you are still doing that today. You are protecting us all and seeing us through this. I know that without a doubt. I want to thank you for still letting me call you Jake when you were 25 years old. You were never too old to have a nickname because you knew it came with my love. I want to thank you for being so darn stubborn and living your life on your own terms. Although it drove many of us nuts, I now believe that you somehow knew you needed to live everyday to the fullest.
I will miss you until the day we are together again. I promise to never stop thinking of you and to tell your goofy stories with a smile because I know that’s what you want. I promise you that I will take care of our family. I love you, Jake ~ but you know that.
You will be forever in my heart<3

Jared,
Well, where do I start...Not only were you my cousin,I looked at you as my brother. We were unseperable, and nothing will ever be able to brake that. I can't understand why it takes something like this to make someone really understand the importance of someone. All i know is that everyday I just wait to see your face or hear your voice just one more time, just to make my next step a little bit easier. But i do know that you are with me in my heart and in my soul everyday. I also know we will meet again one day and we can laugh and smile together again. I miss you and will always remember our good times.
Love always

In Memory of my brother Jared
2.17.81 - 10.2.06
By: Kayla Barlet
The scent of your cologne
Or breeze blown through my hair
I’d quickly turn around
In hopes I’d see you standing there.
Why did you leave so quickly
When there’s so much more to do?
Why did you have to leave us
When we still needed you?
You got into your truck that day
Not knowing your own fate
When someone helped you steer the wheel
Destination - Heavens gate
Now you drive your pickup
Right along side that ‘57
And we know your in great hands
With Pappy up in heaven.
I wish I would have been there
I’d tell you not to go
I wish I could have stopped you
But I just didn’t know
I didn’t know that last goodbye
Was my last chance to say
That I will truly miss you
When your gone away
I’d beg you not to make that choice
And stay right here with me
But I know that you’d still go on
For this was meant to be
God knew it would be hard for me
To ever let you go
And now I finally understand
That’s why I didn’t know

My thoughts and prayers are with Jared's family. It's hard to believe that it only takes an instant to change the lives of the ones you love. I knew Jared since we were 13 and it's hard to believe he's gone. I'm sure he's in a better place and we'll meet again some day.

We extend our deepest sympathy to Jared's family and friends. Words can never express how our hearts ache for something unexpected. Sometimes things are much bigger for us to understand. In this past week Jared's love for his family and friends has brought comfort to so many people. Jared is a man who truly loved the company of people and a zest for life. Mike and I have been blessed to know Jared and his family. He was a young man with a seasoned soul. He has taught us the value of family and friends.
