My name is Kirsten, i am a close family friend to Joanne and Jared. On March 11th, 2026, our beloved Jared passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind his mother Joanne, his son Sage, his partner Karisa, and many family members and friends who loved him deeply.

Jared was known by so many as a kind, beautiful, and genuinely positive person who brought light wherever he went. His calm presence and quiet resilience made him someone people naturally gravitated toward. He had a way of helping others find peace in difficult moments and encouraging those around him to keep pushing forward through life’s challenges.

His sudden passing has left a deep hole in the hearts of everyone who knew him. During this incredibly painful time, we are hoping to come together as a community to support the people who meant the most to him.

We are raising funds to help cover funeral and memorial expenses, and to support Sage and Karisa as they begin to navigate life without Jared by their side.

Any donation, no matter the amount, will help ease some of the financial burden during this unimaginable time. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser with others so we can reach as many people as possible.

Thank you for your kindness, support, and for helping us honor Jared’s life and memory.
