In Loving Memory Of
Jared Nordgran
November 4, 1989—July 31, 2021
Life & Legacy
Our loving son, brother, father and friend, Jared Derek Nordgran, passed away on July 31, 2021.
Jared was born November 4, 1989 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Chris and Joan Nordgran. He was a graduate of Grantsville High School, Class of 2008. He excelled in golf and tennis in high school, and was a fierce competitor. From a young age, Jared was very active and loved being outdoors. He was a great snowboarder and skateboarder, an avid fisher and hunter, and an eagle scout. Jared shared especially fond memories with his dad and brother on their annual hunting trip in Heber Mountain, horseback riding with his mom, and golfing with his sister.
Jared had a giant heart and always saw the best in others. He made people feel like they were his instant friends, often putting them at ease with his contagious laugh and his great sense of humor. Jared had a way of lighting up any room he walked into. It was always hard to tell though if this was because of his great big smile or because of his nature to tease the first person he saw. Whatever the reason, everyone who knew Jared knew he was the life of a party.
Jared considered his son Timmy to be his life’s greatest accomplishment. Timmy brought Jared joy beyond measure. A favorite activity for Jared was to play, color, and be outside with Timmy.
Jared is survived by his son, Timmy; his parents, Chris and Joan Nordgran; two siblings, Sydney (Ty) Hofhine and Casey (Sarah) Nordgran.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, August 7 at 11:00 AM at the LDS Stake Center located at 550 East Durfee Street, Grantsville, Utah 84029. A viewing will be held at 10:00 AM prior to funeral services. Interment will follow the services in the Grantsville City Cemetery.

Dear Jared, thank you for being so thoughtful and considerate of me. You have a heart of gold and deserve a gold medal for the life you lived for your family and others. I remember you in a number of ways; beginning with your time with Casey, laughing as you played. You two could come up with all kinds of things, like running while tearing a box apart and going down the stairs on it. I also remember how gifted you both were on the violin, and how you managed to play it like a fiddle too. That part seemed to come naturally for you. I also remember your traditional birthday pies that you wanted. And I remember how you and Casey were crocheting at your Grandpa Jacks timeshare condo when I walked in. I was so impressed!! It was neat hat you made hats and headbands for your friends. How did you pick that up?? I mean the hats?? And I remember visiting with you at your Grandma Mealss and at your Great Grandpa Wetzels cabin. There were other times too. I am looking forward to seeing some tennis and golf sports matches and hearing you play the guitar with Casey. So happy that you could be such a blessing to all of us. I am sure that Timmy will carry this on for you. We will remember you with fond affection in our lives. See you soon. A. KathyCharity never faileth.

I didn't get to know Jared, I do know his son Timmy, a most beautiful delightful child! Just the thought of knowing that Timmy will miss out on giving his "Daddy", a million loving hugs and kisses, to have him by his side: while growing up, is heart breaking!! Rest in gracious peace Jared! My most sincere, heartfelt sympathy and condolences to All of Jared's family! May "God" grant you the strength to cope with the tremendous loss of your loved one!

Jared was a special soul. It only took meeting him once to know how special he was. May he rest in peace. May those who loved him be held up by the love and prayers that surround them. God bless Jared, his family and friends.
