Shocked to hear this - I never had the pleasure of meeting Jared howeverI knew of him by reputation and knew that he was really going to lead the dive industry to greater things. Prayers and condolences to Jared's wife and kids, Lamar and Lee-Anne, and everyone at Dive Rite.

There is a small GoFundMe campaign to help his family cover funeral expenses.

EDIT: See post below by kensuf - if folks would like to donate, consider DAN or North Florida Springs Alliance.

I just got off the phone with someone working closely with the family. This gofundme is not "an official" thing and while it may be well intended, is not official. I've been told if anyone wants to make a donation, send it to DAN or the North Florida Springs Alliance.
