Support for Jara and Calder's Memorial

Donation protected
**In Loving Memory of Jara and His Son Calder**

It’s with broken hearts that we share the tragic and unimaginable loss of our dear friend Jara and his beloved son, Calder. Their passing has left a void that can never be filled, and we are all grieving the loss of two incredible souls who meant so much to so many.

Jara was a man who lived with purpose and heart. He had a deep love for the outdoors—whether he was fishing at sunrise, hiking rugged trails, or camping under the stars. He found peace in nature, and he shared that passion with Calder, his pride and joy.

The bond between father and son was something truly special. Jara and Calder were inseparable, always chasing the next adventure together. Their connection was full of laughter, love, and unforgettable moments. Calder was Jara’s world, and everything Jara did—every step he took—was with his son in mind.

Jara also took immense pride in his work. He showed up every day with determination, dedication, and a sense of responsibility that inspired those around him. He was the kind of person who’d drop everything to help a friend, and the kind of dad every child deserves.

We are raising funds to help cover funeral and memorial expenses, and to support the family during this incredibly difficult time. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward honoring Jara and Calder and giving them the farewell they deserve.

Please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser. Your love and support mean the world as we come together to remember and celebrate two beautiful lives taken far too soon.

**Thank you for standing with us in love, grief, and remembrance.**
