In the past year I have had the honor of working with Jared through MSUSA. The great thing about working with Jared is he always had a great sense of humor and a positive attitude. I will never forget the late night talk I had with Jared at the Bemidji MSUSA conference about how rocks perceive one another in a rock pile. Jared's passion for work and life will never be forgotten, and my thoughts are with his family and close friends. May his soul rest in peace. JJ Jouppi had e-mailed me a website Jared must have made in high school which is a testament to his sense of humor. http://www.geocities.com/watch_out_for_the_flying_monkeys/ I am in complete shock to hear Jared had to leave us so soon.

I think all of us who knew him, whether closely or not, are shocked and deeply sad. It just does not seem right to lose someone so quickly and at such a young age. I'd learned he was ill yesterday, on Facebook, thanks to Ian's group, and when I was told last night he was gone, I was nearly speechless. You all have wonderful tributes here. My thoughts are with his family and close friends. He will be missed by so many. He was quite a guy. I think all of us who knew him, whether closely or not, are shocked and deeply sad.

I remember bumming a cig from him in Moorhead at a conference, and taking 5 bucks from him in a poker game in some basement in Minneapolis... but the biggest thing I remember is his heart. Getting involved with politics, you see a lot of people who are in it for egos or for having fun playing with robert's rules... but from what I got from him, he was in it for the right reason, to achieve things to help other people out. He sat on the other side of the fence from me politically at times, but he always had tons of respect from me because he was in it for the right reasons, and not the selfish ones. Jared was a role model and a good man, and I'm sure he will be missed by the many people he made an impact on.
