Our Hero's Story
Jared lived his life by the motto "God, Family, Country." He was a member of the Oakland Christian Church, was a devoted husband, father, son and brother, and loved the National Guard, considering it his privilege to serve his country. Jared served the community of Oakland as a part-time police officer, and befriended many. He will always be remembered for his abilities on the baseball field and for his general love of life.

Lieutenant Jared W. Southworth grew up alongside my children and was a beloved part of our church family.
He gave his life serving our great country on Feb. 8, 2009, in Kabul, Afghanistan. We will never forget his heroic courage and sacrifice for our freedoms.
He left behind a loving wife, four wonderful children, and grieving parents. We pray for their continued strength and peace.
