A fav shot of Jaren and Me
February 17, 1971 – June 2, 2009
The world is a poorer place without this son of mine in it. The past two years have seen less kindness, fewer laughs, flashes of brilliance that didn’t happen, music unwritten.
There is a part of me that would like to indulge today, to write out the experience, to talk about the shock of such a loss, the little I recall of the months that followed, the ways I attempt to cope, the erosion of my foundations and many changes, but I can’t.
What I can do, however, is take comfort from the fact that he is well missed by many and share a tribute.
My thanks to Todd Brock for the videos and the site, to Adam Orth, Tim Kirk, Damian Anastasio, Scott Lancaster, Orb Kamm, Liza Welshman, Tink Moss and many others who have let me know just how much impact Jaren had on their lives.
For Jennifer, Sam, Cj and Seb I am more grateful that I can ever express.
If you’d like to spend some time with Jaren, Todd’s memorial website is here.

I'm in this one, too ...
