Jarred's board Current | 2005 | 2004 | 2002 | 2001 | 2000


~Jarred~ Hows it goin cuz?! I just wanted to say that because of u I have started to live by this quote; "You've got to dance like no ones watching. Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die tomorrow and love like its never gonna hurt."[James Dean] U taught a lot of people a lesson when God took u a way at such a young age. Never forget we all love and still think of u each passing day. Loveya, *kAnDrA jO

Jared, I found this site by complete accident this evening. Its amazing to me that its been 3 yrs since the lord took you from us. So much has changed since then, I have twin girls that will be 3 on Nov 1. It still seems like yesterday that I was coaching you on the court. I just want you to know that I think about you all the time. I am the basketball coach in Coweta, OK. I have your picture and the article from the Yukon paper that was published after your funeral on my office wall. You are a true inspiration to me. Every day when I get to work, I glance at your picture and I know things could be so much worse in my life. I tell my players and fellow collegues about the amazing strength you showed during your ordeal. Jared, you were a 1st class student, athlete and Friend. I hope your entire family is doing well as they are in my thoughts and prayers. I will never forget you #25 and we will see each other some day.

Dear Jarred, You don't know me, but I ironically came across your website, while doing an internet search to send a good friend in Wisconsin, who was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor...a cookie bouquet.. to cheer him up. Roger is 37. The same age I was two years ago, when I was diagnosed with my own brain tumor. I spent three hours reading the entries of your website, laughing and crying as your friends and family, reflected on their memories of wonderful times spent with you. You clearly were a remarkable, courageous, young man that any parent would be proud to have as a son, and any brother would look up to for guidance. As a mother of three boys, my heart was deeply touched by the entries by your younger brothers Justin and Jordan. What a blessing that they are still able to talk with you and express their love for you, sharing their life experiences, and looking to you for reassurance when they need it. My heart goes out to your Mother and Father, Grandparents, and other relatives who have used your website as a healing tool, to help them deal with the immense loss of you in their lives. You truly were cherished by so many, in the town of Yukon and beyond, and you have given those of us still fighting your fight, the courage and inspiration to continue doing so, knowing that God has His plan for us all, and no matter what, it will be ok. As for you Jarred, it will be an honor and pleasure to meet you in Heaven, one day. I will continue to pray for those who loved you and miss you, and for those whose lives you touched, like mine, that didn't even know you. I am so moved by the people of Yukon, who have bonded together to care for one another and pay tribute to you each and every day, by loving and supporting each other. Especially the young people, your friends. I know you must be filled with pride, as you smile down on each and every one of them from Heaven. You are truly a hero, and your legacy will forever live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved you, and even those of us who didn't, but wish that we could have. Thank you for the inspiration, that gives the rest of us fighting our own battles hope, and peace with the knowledge that no matter what, God is watching over us all, and with you as one of his angels, I feel we are ALL in good hands. Love, Leanne

Jarred I could not get on my computer at home last night to let you know we miss you so much. We miss you so much each day and think of you all the time. You were such a great young man with so much courage and strength and we are so proud of you. We got to see Shari, Justin, and Jordan this last week and really enjoyed being with them. Please continue to watch over each one of them. We love you very much. Grandma & Grandpa

Hey there buddy, I can't believe its already been three years since God called you up to Heaven. I miss you alot, but as I look back I am so thankful I was able to be your best friend and for all the lessons you taught me throughout everything you went through. It still seems weird to me that I will turn 20 a week from today and you won't be here with me in person, but I know you are right here with me at all times. I miss you and the times we had, but I know it was all for the best and I will get to see you before too long. I love you man and keep an eye on all of us down here. Tyler

My precious son: There are no words to describe what I'm feeling. I think of you each and everyday. I can't believe it has been 3 years since you left us. I wonder everyday what would have become of your life, but I realize that even though you are no longer here you live on in all of us. You have not been forgotten! Everyone still remembers your incredible strength and courage. I still can't believe what a strong young man you had become at such a young tender age. You continue to amaze me when I remember how with all that you were going through, you continued to encourage,support, and inspire your friends and family throughout everything. I'm so proud of everything that you were and continue to be. I love you and miss you more with every passing day, and I'm honored God choose me to be your mother. I know that someday we will be together again, but until then please know that you are always in my heart. Love, Mom

I have been thinking about you Jarred, and cannot believe that tomorrow it will have been 3 years since you left us. Your cousin Austin turns 4 on Wed. Oct. 1st, and today we celebrated his birthday. You have been on my mind, as I am sure as well as others. You meant so much to us and still do. We miss you and love you!

I just got on your website and what an impact you had in your too short life! I want you to know that I have your picture up on my PICTURE WALL in my 9th grade classroom at Burkburnett High School. Jacquelyn gave it too me. The pic is the one that was in the paper after you went on to Heaven. A lot of my students ask about you! I tell them what an incredible person you were and how God took you to Heaven before we on earth were ready. Your life and death has been significant in my classroom as I then relate to the students how we never know what roadblocks we may face in life and how remarkable you faced the many obstacles put in your way. You are truly living on!! My love to your family! Thanks for being such a great friend to Jacquelyn! Kay Dalke

I miss you so much, son. As each day goes by, I realize just what you meant to me, your brothers and everyone that knew you. I'll never understand why you were chosen to leave us so soon. I just know that you were special and can never be replaced. I miss you. Dad
