Jared Richardson

I just read about the loss of your son. I am sorry I did not know earlier. You are in my thoughts. Cookie, I had twin boys in 1967. One only lived a day. Best wishes to you. Love Pat

My condolences go out to the family. I am so sorry too hear of the lost of a dear loved one to this family. Dealing with this situation can be the hardest thing to face. God's word the bible gives heartfelt and true meaning for ones sleeping in death; Revelation 21: 3,4 says: 3  With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4  And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” God also promises a hope for ones to have life again at John 5: 28,29a : Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29  and come out.

God’s Word realistically shows that it is natural to experience grief when a loved one dies. The faithful patriarch Abraham mourned the death of his beloved wife, Sarah. (Genesis 23:2) David was grief-stricken after hearing that his son Absalom was dead. (2 Samuel 18:33) Even the perfect man Jesus wept over the death of his friend Lazarus. (John 11:35, 36) When a loved one dies, we may experience nearly overwhelming sorrow, but faith in the promises in God’s Word can help us to endure such grief. ‘I have hope toward God,’ said Paul, ‘that there is going to be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous.’ (Acts 24:15) We need to have faith in God’s provision for multitudes to be raised to life. (John 5:28, 29) Please visit www.JW.org to learn move about God's promises.

A life taken away from us here only means he is watching over us now. I wish for strength and love to bond Jared's family and friends together during this time of loss.

It was with great sadness that I learned about Jared's untimely passing. I am truly blessed for having shared time and laughter with Jared. He was always willing to talk and share his amazing insights. Jared was a kind-hearted soul who always had a way of instilling humor into any situation. Jared you were an amazing man, husband and friend who will be missed!!! Love ya dude paul

Dear Richardsons, I'm shocked and saddened to hear of Jared's passing. I will keep your family in my prayers.

Jared will be remembered as a kind and generous soul. I remember him taking a picture of a stuffed animal before a lecture to send to his daughters. He said he would do that in each city that he traveled to. Jared influenced me in ways that cannot be understated. Jared gave me a push to grow as a professional and as a person. I am a better person for having known Jared. Jared was a great role model too. He personified competence, humility, creativity, generosity and kindness. The world was made a better place by Jared. It is going to be a little sadder now that he is not with us.

Jared was brilliant, industrious, extremely funny … and he had the ability to make folks feel like he was an old friend upon first impressions. I feel blessed having crossed his path on this Earth.
