I grew up down the road from the Citrons and have fond memories of playing tag, capture the flag, and other neighborhood games with Jared and Rachel, as well as taking turns with Jared playing Sonic the Hedgehog.
I think of him often while playing video games with my son. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing and will continue to remember him fondly. 

On behalf of the Homewood Suites we would like to offer our deepest condolences to Jared's entire family during this time. We loved Jared very much and embraced him as family, and we'll never forget the impact that he left with our staff. This is a shock to all of us but we will always remember the good times that we have experienced with Jared. Rest in heaven! 

I loved Jared my friend so much.  We always had a bunch of laughs.  He used to date my sister an we all hung out together all the time and had so much fun!         He loves animals especially cats and dogs and was so good to them. He was one of the nicest and kindest people I have ever met.   He was so positive and always made you feel good about yourself.  We watched "Napoleon Dynamite" together and laughed so hard we were crying! He will be missed terribly and I can't believe he's gone.  My life was better having him in it

There are no words. He was such a kind soul. He will be greatly missed. I sure will miss his smile!

I was Jared's nurse and then worked with him for quite some time.  All of us at our Copac family enjoyed his wonderful spirit and his ability to make everyone laugh. He loved life and we all love him. He is such a kind and gentle soul. The number of people reaching out to express there feelings regarding him is overwhelming. It is more than apparent how many lives he touched and how loved he is. A very special spirit. Much love to his family.

I just want to say, I used to come to Homewood Suites in Raleigh NC for my job.  He was always friendly and aways had a smile on his face.  My prayers are with his family.

As Jared’s mom I get comfort from hearing from the many people who loved Jared tell what they loved about him. I can see I am not the only one who realized his compassion for others, his humor, and his wonderful smiles and hugs.  If he loved you, he was loyal forever. 
Yes he had lifelong  struggles, and he tried so very hard to overcome them. Even as his mother I will never fully know the depths of his despair and anxiety and the strength it often took to just go on. If it was humanly possible, he would have  stayed with all of us who dearly loved him. Know that this past two years is the happiest I can remember him being, he had a job he cared  about, the total love of his family, and the love of his wonderful girlfriend Loren. He had plans for the future. I am certain he did not intend to leave us.  His memory will live on in all of us who loved him, and his spirit truly lives on. What I’d give for just one more hug, one more smile., one more chance to tell him how much I loved him. 

I had the honor of working with Jared at Toys R US in Atlanta ! He was so amazing to work with and would always without fail or question do anything that was asked of him. He would always stay with me if I had to close and make sure I was safe. He even dressed up as a princess at one of the events. I will always remember his piercing beautiful brown eyes.  He gave the very best hugs. He will be missed dearly. 

I loved Jared for his open-heartedness and sweet nature. I always looked forward to seeing him or hearing from him and his passing leaves me with a heavy heart. May perpetual light shine upon him, may all his cares and burdens be laid to rest with him, may he finally be free, and may all who loved him remember him always for all that was best in him, and all the good he brought out in us. 

Jared was a friend of a family member, and although I never met him in person I followed his difficult journey with fear and joy, always hoping for the next happy post on Facebook. Now I know he has been overcome.  First, thank you for letting his friends know. And also, in words from me as  a fellow sufferer,  try your best to walk quietly with his memory every day.  Such a lovely man. 


My prayers are with Jared’s family and friends. I worked with Jared at the Homewood suites hotel . He and I were good friends and it was always a joy to work with Jared but working with Jared wasn’t infact like “work” at all because we use to have so much fun I would request to work the same shift as him. Jared will be truly missed he was such a kind loving soul. He always found the good in every situation. Rest In Peace my friend. You are gone but never will be forgotten.

Jared was one of  the most unique, funniest, sweetest and kind people I have ever known. His infectious laugh could make a whole room join in. And that HAIR!!!  I will always remember him referring to himself as “the kid with the white boy afro”.  His energy was unstoppable and I know his memory will live on. My sincere condolences go out to his family and his girlfriend. Rest in Paradise Jared. 

Jared was a bright light for his teammates and the guests of the Embassy Suites Raleigh Crabtree.  
Over the holidays we hosted Santa Claus and this picture taken 12.22.18 captures Jared's enthusiasm and spirit.   
We will miss him!

Very saddened to hear about Jared. My condolences to the Citron family and friends- I can't imagine the pain. I've known Jared since high school and any time I picture him, I see the same huge smile, wide eyes, and the funnest laugh you'll ever hear.  I know Jared had his own struggles, but he'd do anything to cheer someone up. He'd go out of his way to lend a hand, an ear, or his space. Jared was gentle hearted , accepting, and empathetic to others.  And of course, Jared was absolutely hilarious. I distinctly remember going to Jared's parents house during Christmas break years ago, it was the first time I had seen the movie elf and he loved that movie- the memory is so vivid because his whole family was full of such good positive energy, wittiness, and joyfulness.  I am grateful I had the opportunity to become his friend. Jared, thank you for always being there for me. I am sure we'll all be thinking about all the times you made us laugh for many years to come.  There will never be anyone quite like the wonderfulness that is you, Jared.
