Very sorry to hear about the loss of your loved one. May you and your family have comfort from the words at Revelation 21:3, 4. “The tent of God is with mankind. . . 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.”

To the love of my life, my guardian angel,I know how much you loved my poems, just found out weeks later of your passing & I did not get a chance to say goodbye, so I wanted to say: You are & we’re such a beautiful soul & person in every way. So amazingly wonderful, I think of you everyday. This is hard to believe, that your gone, I miss you so much, all there is to do is grieve, I know, I know, you don’t want me to mourn you or cry, you want me celebrate you and think about the goods times. But I can’t help it, I loved you so deeply in every way & missed you so much. I know you’re no longer here, it’s so hard to say, every now & then I cry crocodile tears, then I remember you’re with me everyday. Not in sight or touch, but always in my presence, but I did hear you today, people may not believe me, but I know you were with me all day. I know you’ll always watch, you’ll always leave me with your beautiful presence. You are my soul mate, we both knew, nothing can prevent fate, not even me & you. I’ll always love you, I promise to never forget. This world is an airport, & you my love have flown free, off to a new start, a whole new world, always in my heart. Give us a big smile, even though we’re all hurting, we all live our lives in a different style, knowing your resting is our only comfort. Jarrett, my boo, you are my world, my life dedicated to you, I’ll live my life, just have to start anew, you’ll help me, I know it’s true, just like our love. Forever in my heart, you’ll now be my Guardian Angel. This is not goodbye, but I will see you again. Rest in paradise, Love always, Tasema (Taz) Nolan

This is my second post, and I still cannot believe the love of my life’s for 13 years and my best friend is gone. I will never hear his laugh again, will never get a chance to tell him I love him again, I miss him so much. I can not believe he left so soon, we had our whole life to live together. I again want to send his family and friends my condolences, wish I had the opportunity to meet you all. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Tasema Nolan from Fresno CA

I can't believe I won't see you at the bowling alley. I love the many talks and laughs we had, you knew something about everything. It just won't be the same. RIH my friend, you were really a special and nice man.

Our deepest sympathy from the Jezbera's and Lovelady's. We have known Julia and Jarrett for many, many years. The news of Jarrett's passing was a complete shock to all of us and he will truly be missed. We remember him as a compassionate, smart, and loving individual. We also have fond memories of him visiting with his grandparents and the many laughs we all shared. May God bless you and R.I.P.

A lot I wish I could say to you even though you wasn’t blood you still treated me like I was you believed in me you told me to always think outside the box and if I needed you to call you I remember I use to give you a hard time about being a Browns fan and when I heard that the Browns got OBJ I got ready to pick up the phone and that’s when I found out that you was gone...I’m still trying to process it all much love to you and all of your family you was a great mentor

Love you Jarett. You will truly be missed. Prayers to the family.

Condolences from the Stringer family. Jarrett always ask about my dog and what kind of outfit I've purchased her. He will always be remember as a great friend and bowling buddy.

Jarrett I'm sorry that you aren't here anymore. I will always cherish all the good memories that Angie, Xavier, and Tic had together. Now you and Tic are together now. You two rest in heaven now no more suffering for the both of you.

As your sister, we shared a bond that only we could understand given the relationship we had with our Father who has passed away. I know we lived miles apart but you remembered to text or call me on my birthday every year and send Ohio State gear when your nephews were born. I cherished our relationship and prayed for more time to be able to spend with you. I know that you wanted the best for me and your step-neice and nephews and that you were proud of me and that's all a little sister could ever ask for. I love you and I miss you and I'm so sorry we didn't have more time together.

I always had a great time bowling with Jarrett. He kept me laughing & never had a bad word to say about anyone. I know you're bowling all 300's now buddy! You will be missed.

Jarrett, I pray that we showed our love for you while you were here. You meant so much to a lot of people. Because of your humbleness I don’t even think you realized your impact on the lives that you touched. You will forever be loved and missed. I know you and Tic are telling us everything is going to be alright. We gained another Guardian Angel. Condolences, prayers, and all my love to his family and friends. I’ve known Jarrett so long, he watched my girls grow up. We had a crew that we had a ball with anytime we were together. Even though there’s some distance, we’re still just as tight and Jarrett and Tic’s spot will never be replaced. We carry them both in our hearts. Love always from the Rigby family

I am so shocked.....my best friend. I am going to miss you. We had a lot of memories together. My condolences and deepest sympathy to your family. Rest In Peace. Love you!!!

I disliked accounting class for the life of me. I couldn't afford a tutor. Jarrett found out through family members I needed assistance and provided the help. He tutored me and I A's my class. He was a loving friend. Very few people in this world with the big he had. From the Valdez & Alorda family, our deepest condolences.

Wow...so unbelievable!!! I am so shocked because Jarrett was so young!! I met Jarrett through a friend in Columbus, OH. May he rest in power☺ Condolences to Jarrett's family☺

I met Jarrett thru my cousin Kim. I had went to the bowling not too long ago, and asked Mrs. Brenda had she seen Jarrett. She said yes maybe a couple of weeks ago. I am in shock. He was so funny and would have you laughing all the time. Jarrett will be deeply missed. He loved my cousin Kim and our entire family. He was a very good guy! I will keep his family and friends in my prayers.

Words defy me. Jarrett was one unique few that could have a conversation with you, as if he had known you his whole life. Jarrett was one of the unique few, to have the ability to turn a potential enemy into a friend. He was also one of the few people that was, quite simply, a good person Humble, kind hearted and very intelligent, Jarrett posessed an soul that was as warm as the sun, and as colorful as Earth. Jarrett and I shared a love of the Browns. We shared a love of politics. We shared a love of societal trends, of history. And yet.....we CLOWNED. I met Jarrett at the Columbus Sqaure Bowling Palace as simply a patron. I had my Browns gear on, and well....lets just say it didn't take long for us to click That was in 2013 6 years later and my mom would die. A man that was a second father to me would die. I'm white. My second father was black. And Jarrett was there for all of that. He possessed an old soul...ripe with wisdom and respect....like good home cooking. He reeked of tradition and morality....and a fire for knowledge. God, the hole that man left. Words defy me. We started out as fellow patrons, but ended as friends. Good friends. I've watched that man defend the Palace from drunk idiots too many times. He upheld a sense of integrity and pride..and most of all...a fiery pride that made people...take notice. And he did it all with a smile and laugh that just...made you feel good. I hope anyone reading this....I was told one time that when you go....its not about how many people you loved...but how many people loved you. And let me tell you...the man is loved. R.I.H Jarrett, and maybe you know...if ya can....pull some strings for our BROWNIES. WOOF WOOF WOOF!!!!!!!! JAMES TRAVIS HALL

Jarrett I'm sorry that you had to leave this world too soon. You will not have to worry about anymore pain or hurt in your life. God has something else planned for you it was a pleasure of knowing you in my life as a friend. Sending special prayers to you Ms. Graham, X, and all of you who knew and loved Jarrett!!! R.I.P. My Friend!!! Make sure you say hello to Tic for me.

Jarrett and i met at a social for The Big Brother Big Sister program in the early 80s. i was an only child, with an absentee father, and a great disdain for other children. Jarrett came over and introduced himself, and we had an absolute blast! One of the most genuine, and greatest guys I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Jarrett made this world a better place. The Lord is near to the broken hearted, and if we’ve never needed The Lord before, God we ask for comfort. Keep us Lord, and hold Mom Graham in Loving arms.

Jarrett you were and still My greatest debater, brother, best friend and piece of mind. Your struggles are no more. I miss you terribly my friend as so many of us do. We all miss and love you. Shawna W.

J-playa my friend in deed words cannot express my sadness! I will always love you and remember our good times we shared with our group of friends! Rest well!

Jarrett (AKA Jay to me) & I met @ OSU freshman year 1989. We didn't become super tight until the beginning of sophomore year, when we realized we have a love of music, the dozens, sarcasm, & WWF. I moved alot growing up & always "moved on" from friends & assumed Jay would be the same. He used to say "nah, girl, we gonna be friends forever". I thank God, he was right! For 30 years, he's been my best friend, my confidant, my boyfriend (for a summer), my advisor & my family. No one can ever fill his place in my heart. I have so many fond memories, that I treasure. I take comfort that your chillin with your Grandparents & Tick. Until I see u again, Jay, I love u more than words. Love & comfort to Ms. Graham.

My deepest sympathy and condolence to Jarrett’s family. I always enjoyed working with Jarrett, and talking to him after I left BISYS. He was great guy who will be dearly missed.

Condolences from the Blair family. Julia, you and Jarrett have been like family for what seems liked forever. Grandma loved Jarrett and enjoyed watching him grow up after you moved in next door. You have our deepest sympathy and if you need anything, please don't hesitate.

I Will Miss you Forever,Bruh! You and Tic welcomed Me in 92 amd we've been Tight Since!! Godfather to my First Born!! I Love You Jarrett!! Wagon Crew For Life!!

I worked with Jarrett at Bisys 2000-2002 and have known him since. I bowled with him after I left Bisys for several years in the Karl Road Baptist Church Bowling League. My fondest memories of Jarrett are the conversations we would have in my cubicle at Bisys, fantasy football drafts, watching football games at the local BW3, and bowling memories that are too many to post in entirety. In 2006/2007 bowling season, Carl Foulke, Bryan Ashmus, myself, and Jarrett won the Karl Road Baptist Church bowling league. Jarrett was our anchor (last) bowler because he was tough under pressure, and that season I know brought the four of us great joy because we had finished as runner-up for two seasons in a row prior to the 2006/2007 season. Jarrett had such a fun sense of humor and was a genuinely good guy. Jarrett will be greatly missed by his friends here in Columbus (myself included in that).

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
