Jaryn was raised in Ignacio, Colorado and was a member of the Southern Ute Indian Tribe. He was given his Ute Name "Red Wolf" by his Uncle Tim. Jaryn attended the Ignacio Public Schools, worked in various jobs in the Ignacio area, and had many close friends.
Jaryn had a one of a kind personality. Everyone loved his crazy demeanor, contagious smile, and his great sense of humor. All who loved him will never forget the love he had for his family, his music, his Raider Nation, and the hunting season. He enjoyed and loved being around his niece, nephews, and his many cousins.

His journey continued into 2019 where he was a part of the Mile High Sober Living which led to 9 successful months of sobriety. Of sobriety he once said, "it's time to make something good for me" he also said "my mind is healing along with my spirit, heart, and body." Jaryn continued fighting towards his sobriety, by regularly attending ongoing meetings, classes, and therapy, as well as group support. His fight was hard but his fight was good. If you know addiction you know the struggle is real and the fight is every day.

My sincere sympathy to the family and especially his mother, Lisa. It's difficult to lose a son or a child. But may you cherish the memories of the beautiful times that you've spent with him. My prayers are with you.
