My deepest sympathy to The Sumter Family. I worked with Jarrod for many years at Palmetto Senior Care (PACE). Jarrod will be greatly missed. Rest In Peace my friend.
The only thing I can come up with is that heaven needed him more. Jarrod was someone you don’t easily forget. He was a dedicated & hard worker who made every day a bit more fun, a friend anyone would hope for. He lit up the room with his humor & smile. He was an incredible father. He made us laugh, and today makes us cry. What a beautiful person, inside and out. We will miss you, my friend.
Friendship transcends death. Memories made will never be forgotten. However those memories creates a lasting impression on those left behind. Everyone became a better person for having such a wonderful friend like you. You will be missed my friend .
Sending love and prayers to your family.
My condolence and prayers are with your family. That God will give them the peace and strength they need during this time and days to come. When I got the phone call that you were gone all I could do was sit there and cry. Because I know the friendship that we had, the laughter we had about transportation and also our Dallas Cowboys I will no longer hear your laughter about any of it anymore. It truly was a pleasure to work with you. RIH my friend. You will t be missed.

DC4L! You will definitely be missed! Praying for the family.
I trust God…
I’m Praying for understanding.
A genuine family member that showed unconditional love no matter the time in between being in the physical presence of one another. That one cousin on Facebook that’s sends you every funny video they watch, some days making your day without even knowing it. The one with the huge smile that could light up not only light up a room but your heart as well. Never missing a birthday or the opportunity to reach out. I laid in bed extra long this morning as the tears fell quietly. I’m having to consider the fact that you were genuinely a great person so God needed you more. I’ll process this keeping in mind you’re at peace. I’m Waving my Cowboys towel out the window extra high!! See ya later Cousin!
Unforgettable. Forever Honorable!
My condolences to Rhonda, Wee Wee and Rhonda baby girl, the boys, Kee Kee her kids, B-Rocks, Jerry and everyone who ever met or knew Wee Dub, Wee Wee, Jarrod or Sump. You were my friend, family, boss and a humble hearted man. Never wore a frown or was ever caught NOT smiling. From years of life together running up and down Farrow road, hanging with family and watching you and Slaw-Dawg Willie and Darrell always pranking one other to watching you be a father, a soldier, and a husband not one thing would I have ever considered complaining about when it came to you. Although we didn’t talk everyday, just the fact that you were there was enough. To hear your voice when I would call and you would say, “Yes Ma’am” was funny to me because you knew I was always calling to bother you and vent about parents or the bus. It doesn’t seem real that you are gone and I am up and down in my feelings, but I know God makes no mistakes and that you have on a new body and now you get to take a rest. You and Rhonda shared so many memories and I never saw you as happy as you were with her. She will miss you I know but I know you will keep an eye or her and make sure she is good and your boys will always hear you in their heads! Lol. Until we meet again my friend, cuzzo, and SUMP! RIP Love ya! Smooches!!!

Yall touch us how to protect ourselves when yall not around. I use to play fight you all the time and you will always have that same smile, saying okay okay you won. Lol. You was the one who help me,my daughters,sister and friend get our CWP, you still wanted to make sure we can protect ourself, even through me and my sister was already train. Lol. The memories will forever be with all of us. You was my friend, like a brother, and some where down our blood line we was family. This hit hard. Gone but will always be remember.

Got the phone call today letting me know you had passed. Emotions going crazy. Hair on my arms standing up. You will be missed! I remember our travels to Myrtle Beach for the SCAPT convention during the summer. You helped to create terrific memories. Loved working with you and calling you, my friend. You always had a smile on your face when I visited the office. Dang, not the news I wanted to hear but I know the heavens have opened and family and friends are welcoming you with open arms. Praying for your family and friends. You will be missed. Love you Jarrod!
