In Memory of Jared

I miss him teasing, laughing, joking, smile, eyes. Fabulous father, husband and provider. He was a fabulous listener. Everyone it seemed to come to him for advice. He was very devoted to work, being a father and husband. His family was his first priority well after work any way, He would come straight home to be with family. He was motivated. He seemed to come by his good attitude easily. He made life fun! We miss you! We love you!

I miss complaining about him to other people even. I thought he was not supportive but now I know he was!, even to have him here it was support!!!

  1. I miss him.. I know that does not compare to your missing or your pain.. NOT even close.. I just wanted to write about what I remember.. He loved to have fun! He was always cracking a joke.. He was a very hard worker.. He loved you very much.. He loved his kids. He liked to be active.. camping, palying hard etc.. I remember that HUGE blue truck he bought.. :) I love you Stacey.. and my heart is with you today.. for that matter it is with you every day!

  2. Late the last night that we were there, he and Evan got in this deep conversation about what life he thought of his life. It was such a private conversation that I was glad I was just awake to hear some of it and not awake enough for them to stop talking. He talked about how "the guys" treated their marraiges. And said that it wasn't like that for him. He went on to say all kinds of nice stuff about you that wifes everywhere wish their husbands would say or feel for them. He stressed that being in a good marriage was the thing he was most proud of. (And second was his kids.) I really feel like I am betraying something by saying. Sorry J.

  3. Stacey you are so strong, I heard a quote today I'm sure you've heard it too, it's "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened" by Dr. Seuss. Anyway Jon and I miss Jared and how he made everything so fun, and you are always in our thoughts.

  4. Hey Stac, Thanks for sharing your feelings. I often look at your kids and smile because I see a piece of Jared in each of them. You truly are an example friend. I hope you know that! Love you!

  6. Thank you all for your comments and memories. At times I become so involved in my own grief and pain that I forget others miss him too. I love you all! At times I feel very ungrateful for all of you I apoligize. I know that each one of you is there for me, if needed and I appreciate it!
