Jared-
From the first day I met you in kindergarten, until your last day, you were the kindest, friendliest, and the most energetic person I've ever met.
I am happy to have had the pleasure to call you my best friend. You were a natural at anything you tried to do with unmatched dedication, whether it was sports, video games, or lifting, you always gave it your all. I'll never forget any of the times we spent together bonding over those things.
Even though you are no longer with us physically, I know you'll be right by my side to help me through any obstacles life may throw at me.
I won't let you down. I will make you proud. Rest in Peace brother, you will be missed.
-Ryan
