Thank you for checking out Jared's Page. Please share any photos or video you have of Jared. We look at this often and we hope that you will share with us any memories you have about Jared. Thanks.

This is our handsome Jared! He was born in Salt Lake City, UT on Sept. 21, 2003 with the most shocking head of hair you’ve ever seen. He grew up in Woods Cross, attending Woods Cross Elementary, Legacy Preparatory Academy, South Davis Junior High, and was a senior at Woods Cross High. Jared had the best ever Marvel movie pal in his dad, Travis Alexander. The Crumbl runs and listening-ear awards go to his mom, Diana Alexander. His sister, Emma Alexander, taught her not-so-little brother the ropes while working together at KFC. One year ago, Travis, Diana, and Emma moved into the backseat of his red Xterra to make room in the front for his beautiful girlfriend, Natalie.
Jared started sports out playing soccer, but he absolutely hated being yelled at from the sidelines. “Jared, get in there!!” “Jared, block that ball!!” Being yelled at was too much for his kind soul. He spent summer after summer swimming with the neighborhood boys in his backyard, circular pool, so it only seemed natural that he would pick up swimming someday. Plus, the water could instantly wash away the buckets of sweat that poured off that kid! He loved being in the water and the feeling of being in “the zone” as he swam lap after lap during practice. He swam for the Tsunamis in his early years, then joined the Woods Cross High swim team in 9th grade. To be honest though Jared wasn’t there to excel at swimming. He was there to bond with his team mates and bond he did. Jared had a remarkable talent to bring people together, and he always searched out the one to bring them back to the fold.
In fact, Jared wanted to make a career of finding and helping that one. He was fascinated with his AP Psychology class and looked forward to attending Weber State University to become a licensed social worker. His every waking moment was focused on, “who can I help?” Before heading off to college though, Jared was planning to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He started filling out his papers last week and the first question asked for an availability date. “Oh frick, we’re doin’ this,” Jared laughed then called out his usual, “lez go!” The food, the language, and the climate were concerns when he wondered where he would be called to. He need not worry about that anymore because he has arrived, and he probably shouted out, “Let’s do this!” when he got there.
Jared was a party everywhere he went, and one of his favorite places to go was Party Band with his trombone. His awesome trombone music often filled our home, Disney songs to Broadway musicals. He started playing in 5th grade-obviously-his music wasn’t awesome back then! Through high school, he and his trombone friends received high marks for beautiful songs they performed following countless hours of practicing together. Knowing Jared, there was probably far more laughing and joking around than practicing! Music was an important part of Jared’s life. He found so much meaning in songs and could tell you the composer of just about any movie score.
Jared left this life on October 27th, 2021. We are truly honored to be Jared’s family.
