I heard about Jarrett´s passing today and was devastated at the news. I knew he had been seriously ill but did not know why.
I met Jarrett when he was in pharmacy school and working at Food City in Jonesborough. I was so happy when he settled in Jonesborough.
He was always so uplifting and kind to me and everyone.
He was a compassionate man and never too busy to say hello.
I will miss him very much.
Brittany and his family, my condolences for your loss and many prayers for your comfort during this difficult adjustment.
I´m glad I knew he loved the Lord during one of many talks we had. Please know how sorry I am, I will always remember Jarrett.

I am so sorry to hear this. Jarrett was truly one of the kindest, friendliest, and thoughtful men I have ever known. He was an outstanding pharmacist and will be greatly missed by so many people that he served in his far too few years serving them through his profession.
