JJ was good natured, giving, generous person who would always give a helping hand to anyone who asked. He was a little comedian, loved to laugh and could make an entire room smile. He was proud but humble about sponsoring 2 children from World Vision. He always saw the good in everyone and never passed judgment. He was a very hard worker but enjoyed most being with family and friends, sitting around a campfire and spending time in the outdoors. Jared was a loyal employee; he worked in the service industry at Burger King for 3 years while attending school. From 2008 to present he worked at the River Park Husky and was known to all as the friendly face who always made you feel welcome.
