As his former colleagues from Fermilab we were deeply saddened by the news of Jared’s passing. He was smiling person and gentle soul, his sense of humor and funny stories always attracted people to stop by in his office just to say “hello” to him; when he left Fermilab there was most memorable farewell party we ever had, so many people came to wish him “Good luck” and better opportunity in his life. He always will be remembered for making people smile and bringing laughter in their lives. It’s difficult to think of this world without him. Our thoughts are with his boys and family during these difficult times.
I was so saddened to hear of Jared's passing. I don't think it's really even sunk in, because I think of him smiling and enjoying life. I'm so sorry for your loss. Jared is in my prayers. You're whole family is in my prayers.
Our nephew was full of life, loved his boys, and a loyal Chicago Blackhawks fan. He will be missed by all of us and life will be different without him. Rest in Peace Jared.
