Sad day for me and my fellow coworkers

Please I dont normally ask for people to pray for me, and this isnt for me but for a friend of mine and coworker. To make this story as short as possible, a dear friend of mine got bad news on Sunday morning that his dad suffered a heart attack. So Jarred got on a plane and flew to Missouri to be with his father and mother at this difficult time. He arrived on Sunday and his dad was in a coma and died that evening, Jarred stayed with him until he passed. Jarred has been there since making plans for his fathers burial. Along with his fiance and new son that was born in Oct. Then we got the news last night and some of us this morning that my dear friend Jarred (age 26) suffered a heart attack yesterday morning and fell into a coma as well and he passed away yesterday. So many of us are mourning the loss of our dear friend whom we did so many things with, not just at work but outside of work. Jarred was a fun loving, outgoing guy, smiled all the time, he was a loving father and I am sure would have been a great husband as well. Jarred was always known at work to be carrying around his 2 liter of diet Mt Dew we teased him about it all the time lol. He played on my mud volleyball team for the past 4 years at work and we all had been with him on several occassions and get togethers, parties and such. He drove me home numerous times and I was friends with him not best friends but I for sure call him my friend. His best friend is one of our Supervisors at work and his son was born yesterday within hours of Jarreds death, he has just found out that the most joyous day of his life is also such a sad day. I really havnt digested it all just yet, I have cried today so many times, thinking that I cant believe hes gone, and then I cry for his son who will never know him, and that he will never see him grow up. I have also cried for his poor mother, how much can someone take she not only lost her husband Sunday evening but lost her son yesterday. We have started a collection at work for his son and fiance as she wasnt working with the new baby and to help with funeral expenses as well. The funeral is being held in Missouri so only a few people from work are going to be able to drive down and attend. I am just so sad for his family right now my heart just hurts. I will miss my dear friend for he was truely a fun spirited guy always a joker and I dont think I ever saw him mad. Please I just ask that you pray for his family, our coworkers and for his son I truely feel they need all the warm thougths they can get right now. HUGS to you my friends

this brought tears to my eyes, life is very short and unpredictable. may God rest his soul and his father's in peace. and may God also give his family and friends the patience (and i dont know how to say it in english) and the strength to bare losing him. Hope you also feel better, i know how hard it is for you.
