    My Condolences. Jared and I were really good friends throughout High School and had many good times together. When I found out that he had passed, I started remembering things that we did together or talked about that I haven’t thought about in YEARS. He was a great friend, I am thankful to have known him.

    Godspeed Jared

    Though I heard Jared’s friendly voice on the phone, as Don’s friend and distant business partner, I knew him most through the reflection of his parents’ love. He was in their life. They welcomed him. They enjoyed him. He was clearly deserving of their love. He will be missed.

    I very recently found out about the death of my dear old best friend. I am so sorry I was not around to pay my respects then. We had drifted too far apart over the years, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t think about him often. Jared and I knew each other throughout middle and high school and he became my best friend during the summer before our senior year. He was a true friend to me and the first friend I ever had that actually deserved the title. He looked out for me, protected me, guided me. His family was always so welcoming and kind to me. I learned so many great things from Jared, from great music to how to drive a manual transmission. We had a lot in common. Some of my best memories are of the times we spent together, like the night we danced at Harry Starker’s. Jared was a thoughtful and kind human being and I am a better person for having gotten to share some of this life with him.
