Brianna....tonight at VO2 class we heard the horrible, tragic news. I can't begin to imagine what you and your husband and family are going through. My heart is broken. Please know that we are thinking of you and wishing you peace in the coming days, weeks and months. Please take care of yourself. ~ Kathi

Been years since I have seen you in High school but how my heart aches for you and you family. I pray that God comforts you and keeps his love and peace with you and your family at all times.

I never thought I would have to say goodbye so soon to the guy that I used to spend every day talking to all through middle school you were always there for me and every day walking into high school I knew that you would be in the seat right next to me every morning, I miss hearing the sound of your radio every morning in the parking lot ...things will never be the same without you but I know I'll see you again one day.

My heart is breaking for all of you. I too, know the loss of a child, my daughter when she was 14. I hope you are able to find some peace in all this with how much love and support you have. I didn't know Jared personally but my son did. He spoke highly of him. Know you have people that are willing to help in any way. God Bless your whole family.

Donna & Alora, Jay & your family... I couldn't believe it when I opened fb the other morning and saw the news. My heart weeps for you. Remember that I know what a death like this does to a person. Take comfort in the fact the no matter what, if Jared had accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior (which, Donna, you told me several yrs back that he had), that Jared is in Heaven now. Whatever pain he knew, he knows no more. Donna, we were never supposed to have this in common. My heart is just breaking for you. Not matter what, you were "family" at one time, and I loved Alora & Jared so much.I know many people have said this, but if you need to talk let me know. I've lived with this for 23 yrs now. Also if you or Jay and your families need Christian- based counselling, Grace Pointe Couselling Center is a safe place to help unburden yourself. Please know that my prayers have been with you all since I first heard & will continue to be. Here's my number Donna if you need me: 483-1539. Alora, I still love you sweetheart.

I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family.

Sorry for your loss. My family's thoughts and prayers are of your family this weekend. I was a high school friend of your sister and use to pick on you and your brother. Please contact me through fb if you feel like it.

My family and I would like to send all of our prayers in this time of sadness. Jared was truly an inspiring and kindhearted person that was cared about so much. He's watching over everyone now. RIP Jared

We can't imagine your pain and loss. For all who are grieving the loss of this precious young man, prayers for all.

My heart goes out to you and your family in this sad time. It is never easy to have such a tragedy happen so close in the family especially when its your own child. My prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family. If there is anything I can do for any of you please let me know.

Jay, I'm so sorry for your loss. May God bless and comfort you and your family .

I cannot imagine the depth of your pain. I love you, my darlings, and I am always here. ~Aunt Linda

My family and I are very sorry for your loss. My heart is broken and deeply saddened. We are still praying for you and all of your family. Chris,Denise,Dakota & Brittany Bennett

I have loved words my entire life, loved their capacity to create and to heal, loved them so much that now I make my living trying to teach this same love of language to my students. But this week, for the first time in my 40 years on this Earth, I am without words. There is no language for this loss. Jared, precious boy, you have rendered us speechless. And as I write this, all I know for a certainty is how hollow it is, how sickeningly inadequate. Because the only thing that comes close to the truth of this is beyond words, a lamentation in a language that only our Lord can understand or answer. Jared, you were and you ARE a shining light, and we are shattered to know that you could not see in yourself the treasure that you are, the gulf of grief that your loss would create. You were magnificent in every way, with a mind, a spirit, and a soul as beautiful as your flawless exterior. You possessed a kindness and a wisdom so far beyond your 17 years and the endless memorials in your honor that we have read and listened to this week only affirm what we already knew: your special gift for protecting the vulnerable, for uplifting the dispirited, for mending the brokenhearted. So many hearts are broken now. I would give anything to spare your parents, your siblings, and your grandparents in particular this pain. And I know that our family will be forever changed by your going, that this is the cataclysm by which we mark all that comes after. I wish that we had had more time. I wish that all had followed its natural order and that we who celebrated with such joy your coming into this world would have been the ones to go ahead to welcome youâ€"many, many, many years from nowâ€"into the next. Above all, I wish that you had had the words to tell us you were hurting. I wish that we had been able to hear your soul’s cry, as you hear ours now. But we were blinded by that luminous smile, by the radiance that somehow you yourself could not see. And yet we know that you see it now. We know that you feel the love that you inspire, the joy that you give. We know that you are wrapped in the arms of your Creator and that you are laughing with the namesake you never met on Earth, your great-grandfather, Tommy. And we know that somehow, someday, you will mend the hearts that are broken now. It’s just what you do. We love you, Jared, more than we could ever sayâ€"but, then again, we don’t need to, because now you truly know.

Bree and Jay please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and I will be remembering you Saturday night with extra prayers (((hugs)))

My prayers are with the family. May you find peace and comfort from God during this time.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Please know that many prayers are going up for comfort during such a difficult time. RIP Jared!

Jay and Family, Words are never adequate in moments like these. Jared will always be remembered for his caring and loving nature and that beautiful smile. May God's peace be with you during this sad time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Amy & Family

My deepest sympathies to the family and friends. I will always remember his smile and great attitude he always had when coming into FISH on Fridays. He usually every week asked how I was recovering, after a high five. Jared was a very caring young man that was a real encouragement to all around him.

Our prayers & love go out to the family. It is so sad to lose such a special young man. May God give you strength & peace during this extremely difficult time. We love you!

My prayer is that God will comfort you and give you peace. Love you all

No words could even come close to expressing how deeply saddened and sorry we are for the passing of your beloved Jared. We pray that God will wrap his loving arms around you, hold you tight and comfort you in the coming days and weeks ahead. God will provide you with such strength that you never knew would be possible and just hold on to his promise that you will see Jared again one day. You will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.

Praying God will sustain you during this difficult time and months & years ahead. My heart goes out to this family, can't imagine your grief. Didn't know your son but from all the comments, he was a wonderful friend and loved by many. God Bless You All!

Sorry for your loss brother. My condolences to you and your family.

Briana, Jay and Family I am so sorry for your loss and words cannot say enough. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time which came way too soon. Just know I am thinking of you. Love You!

I am so sorry for your loss .Jared was a great and amazing person .I went to school with him this year. Everyone misses his smile . The Oler family you are in my thoughts and prayers.

My sincere condolences to you and your family. I have been extremely blessed to not have lost my child but I have lost my husband and it is pain and heart break no one could ever imagine. My heart goes out to all of in your time of need. I will continue to pray for you and your family. God will give you the strength you need to get through this difficult time.

To Jay and Briana, Donna and husband and all family members, I can not begin to imagine how you are feeling. I cannot begin yo imagine you loss. I have never lost a child and I hope and pray I never have yo go through this. I did not know Jared, my daughter is friends with Jay and Briana but, the minute I heard this and saw his picture, my heart just broke. I have been reading the post these kids put on his fb page and I can tell you this, he must have been one fine young man who truly cared about his friends. I took a box of 250 candles down to the school last night for the candlelight vigil and from what I saw on the news, they probably could have used another box or two. My heart hurts for you as his family and for all these kids. I wish there was someway i could take your pain away. But, as i said before Jared must have been a great kid from all the post I have read about him. We don't know what kind of demons he was fighting though maybe, someday we will. Until that time comes, just know he is safe in the arms of our Lord and Savior. I wish I could make this easier on you but, know you are not alone in this, you have plenty of friends to call on. Love you all and leaving you in the caring arms of Jesus. May God Bless You All!

I can't believe this is actually happening. I never imagined seeing my best friend die at the age of 17. I love you so much, Jared. You'll always be my big brother and the bestest friend I've ever encountered. That'll never change. Rest easy

May God be with the whole family and all those that knew Jared. He was a very good friend to my daughter and even though she had a baby at 15, he never judged her or called her names. He accepted her as his good friend and she loved him dearly. His parents raised him very well and how to respect other people. No one will ever understand life fully and were not suppose to but i do know that God grieves when we grieve and one day we will understand but for now i ask God to comfort you all and please know what a great great job you did raising him. I so hope and pray Kassie will meet someone with the same morals and values to females that Jared had. God bless you all and know he touched many lives.

Heaven has gained a wonderful Angel and the world has a huge hole in it. Jared was a wonderful person who will be missed by more poeple than anyone can imagine I am so sorry for everyone in his family.........and everyone who knew him. He will be truly missed by one and all.
