Hi, my name is James and I'm the brother of Jaren. As you know, we've been experiencing the tragedy of his passing. If you knew him and got to experience being around him, you saw how great he was to be around. He was lively, caring, always saying and thinking something comical or witty. He was married within the past year and in May become a dad to a baby boy.

I felt to establish this fund to assist his wife Karina and our family with funeral expenses. This will cover the cost of a viewing, cremation, and additional funeral services. Please feel free to contribute what you'd like. We are grateful for the love and support we have received thus far. Thank you to everyone.
