    A very decent human being taken away far to early. May his memory be a blessing.

    I think he was 25 years old. Nonetheless, too, too soon. I only interacted with Jared but for a few moments but know he was one of a kind. Always smiling. Always in the moment. I truly hope his friends and family can find some peace during this time.

    I remember Jared as a student at Pepperdine University and his work as an Ombuds since that time. His passion for the field was impossible to match. Those of us who interacted with Jared were left more determined to help others through this work. I will always be grateful to Jared for that and the small moments I was privileged to know and learn from him. He will be missed.

    I am shaken and deeply saddened by this loss. I know Jared was an active volunteer in several areas and he was a positive influence for many people.

    This has me sad. Jared was a caring, thoughtful, energetic soul. I appreciated our time together on the move. He’ll be on my mind and in my heart as I carry on.

    I sat next to Jared during two sessions at the last AAI meeting and was impressed by his positivity and authenticity. I could tell he was dedicated to the profession and know he'll be sorely missed by those who knew him.
