It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since we lost you, Jaron. I died that day too. My emotion comes in waves and left in a freeze zone of disbelief. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of your smile, your laughter, and the joy you brought into our lives. I still hear you coming down the stairs and hearing your shoes hitting the wooden floor. I'm proud of you for the battles you fought so bravely. I miss every big and small thing about you. Your smell, your laugh, your smile with the tilt of your chin. You were such a light in this world—your love for your friends, snowboarding, football, traveling, and being with your brothers and me will always stay in our hearts. This year has been a journey of grief, love, and remembering all the beautiful moments we shared with you. While the pain of your absence is deep, the memories of your kindness and vibrant spirit remind me to keep going. I will be strong one day, and be your voice. I've learned so much this past year, whether I wanted to or not. 1)That my other 4 boys deserve the mom Jaron had. I may not ever be the same, but we will get through together and to try to find a new normal while holding your memories in our hearts forever. 2) I can still have a relationship with my sweet boy, even thought he's not here physically. Jaron, thank you for sending all the white feathers, hearts and butterflies...I know it's you! 3) I've learned that there's no time frame for grief, and we all grieve differently. 4) That time doesn't make grief easier, but you get stronger as you grieve over time. 5) To give myself grace. 6) That it's ok to not be ok. 7) The reality is that nothing is yours to keep forever. You borrow time, love and joy. 8) Grief is all the unexpressed love we didn't get to express to our love ones that passed away. Thank you to my husband, my boys, my friends and family for helping me through the worst year of my life. Everyday is a gift and life is precious, so don't take it for granite. You are missed more than words can say, but your legacy lives on in every life you touched. I love you to the moon and back forever, my sweet boy. #forever23 #mysweetangel #griefsjourney #loveyoujaron🩷🫶#mentalillnesssucks #hisloveisallaround
Let the memory of Jaron be with us forever.

Jaron, age 23, our beloved son, brother, and friend returned home to his Father in Heaven on January 24, 2024.
Jaron was born December 6, 2000, to Jen and Jon Millar in Sandy, Utah. He loved snowboarding, wake surfing, going to the beach, and most of all, hanging out with his friends and family. He grew up in a loving home with his mom and four brothers, Taylor, Braydon, Gavin, and Jaiden. They all traveled the world creating fun memories. Everyone that knew Jaron couldn’t get enough of his contagious smile and big loving heart. He loved watching movies and Harley Quinn was his favorite. His favorite color was pink and oh how he loved his orange soda.
He will be missed by all who knew him. He touched so many lives in ways that cannot be expressed in just words and we love him dearly for it.
