Jarrin loved Jesus! He was a proud member of First United Methodist Church of Melbourne where he attended Sunday School and Church while growing up.

 

During his childhood, Jarrin was involved in Scouts and played on numerous sports teams.  He enjoyed surfing, skating and camping out, especially the annual Disney camping trip with our Sunday School friends. 

 

Jarrin loved his family dearly and cherished family vacations with all his cousins, aunts, uncles & grandparents. He also loved spending the holidays with his extended family playing games and sharing a good laugh.

 

Jarrin loved the beach and hanging out there with his many friends. He always put others before himself and had a tremendous amount love for everyone. He always tried so hard to make sure everybody was happy and having a good time. 

 

If Jarrin had a final message for us all, it would probably go something like this- Weep not for my passing, but instead laugh and reminisce about the good times we've shared. Let's try and remember all the good times. God Bless you all.
