April 14, 2015 it started off as a normal Tuesday night. I was watching Finding Carter on MTV, and it was just starting to get good. I started hearing all kinds of commotion going on in the living room. I get up and walk out of my bedroom. The only person I saw was my mom. Outside my house was nothing but flashing red and blue lights. I was so hyped up, wondering what was going on.

Just like any other weeknight, Bree along with her son, Justin, and Jared were home by themselves, while Jared's dad, Jay (who everyone called Mouse), was out of state for his job. She must have been the one who found him. I couldn't imagine how they must feel. As I'm standing there listen to her sob, I see a swarm of police officers and EMTs scrambling around.

It was baby blue with white clouds and a sun on it. In the very center, was a picture of Jared, underneath the picture, it said Rest In Peace, Jared Oler. Jared's dad had donated the hood. It was from his Chevelle, the car that he and Jared had worked on together for years. They were having people sign the hood with messeges to his family. I signed it, my messege said "Rest easy bud, I'll miss
