During our time together at MTV, Jared and I bonded over our love of music and often shared songs or met with artists who seemed to have that “special something.” What a light in this world. What a blessing to have known him. Sending all my love to his family and all those who loved him,” one person wrote.
Another wrote, “Here is just one of the many adventures I’ve been on with Jared. We rented a Ferrari for an hour in Italy.

Jared was a true friend and will always be remembered.”
