Jared
worked as the receptionist/computer expert and only man on staff at his
sister Lori's business "Heaven A Day Spa" from 2000 to 2002. He was loved
by the customers for his kind, gentle, and thoughtful ways, but he was
adored by his coworkers, whom he named his angels. The following tributes
were written on a poster and presented to the family on the day of Jared's
service.
From Your Angels at Heaven:
Jared, you were one of the most sweetest, lovingest people I knew. I will
miss your big blue eyes and kind heart. Thanks for making me one of your
angels. You will never be forgotten sweetheart. Love, Jacqueline Lovin
Oh Jare, we never got to finish Friday. Maybe it's better we only tried
that once seeing how we almost burnt down Lori's house. You increased my
love for comic books and just showed me what its like to have infinite and
unconditional kindness. I'll always hold you deep in my heart. Love ya,
Hannah
Such a short time I knew you, we had a blast. Heaven now has an angel of
its own, please take care of us. You'll be deeply missed. Love always,
Jaclynn
Now you can be a Super Hero too! Peace, love, Nishi
Jared, you are going to be missed by everyone! Keep smiling down on us
from Heaven :) Jessica Martinez
Hey Jer - I want you to know that you were always such a good friend to
me. I will miss our talks. You were always an "angel" in your own way, and
that's what made you so special. Thanks for always being there. I love
you. Molly
I heard you playing guitar that night. Love, Lulu
Hey buddy, your the coolest guy I know and I'm sure I'll see you on the
other side of the moon so keep it real my Green boy. Love forever, Laura
Price, your angel.
Yo Jared, you were a shooting star bro. Always shining! Peace forever,
love Cat

Although our time together was but a brief weekend, I am reminded of
Jared's youthful, inquisitive and creative spirit. The weekend was an
"inward journey," a quest to explore personal purpose, values, vision and
a renewed sense of the "magical child" within. Surely, Jared was a seeker
and a young man with gifted sensibilities. Whether he found what he was
seeking will forever remain a mystery but he emanated the ambition to
undertake the journey. I remember him as bright, affable and genuine.
His passing is seemingly premature and indeed brings sadness to his loved
ones, yet we must remember that he passed this way, left his mark and made
a difference. Personally, I am gratified that he created the opportunity
to engage in a process of deep mental/emotional introspection prior to his
leaving us. Clearly, "there are no accidents" as far as the timing of
that process. I trust Jared is now at peace.........
To his family and dear friends, I express my deepest condolences and
warmest regards. When someone we love departs this plane, we cannot help
but learn something deeper about ourselves. I feel confident that Jared
made an indelible imprint on the lives of everyone he truly touched.
Rather than mourn incessantly over his demise, let us give thanks and
praise for what he gave us.
Warmest & Deepest Regards,
