Jared Parton Knowles' Obituary
Jared Parton Knowles passed away unexpectedly on August 8th, 2021 at the age of 24, in his sleep.
Born in Tarpon Springs, FL to Melisa Parton and Erik Knowles on September 12, 1996, Jared was an identical twin to his brother Jacob.
Ever since he was very young, he immediately became obsessed with bass fishing, this was his past-time love. He enjoyed running out to the backyard lake and fish before school. Some of Jared's favorite activities were music, playing guitar, working out at the gym and mastering on-line games while hanging out with his friends. He rode his bike daily and fitness was a major component in his young adult life. He was eager to become a personal trainer and help others meet their goals. He strived for perfection in everything he did and always pushed himself to be the best. He excelled in anything he put his mind to do. Learning something new came easy for Jared, he was extremely intelligent without even trying.
He was such a loving son and even got a tattoo to show his Mom how much she meant to him with the meaning of her name "Honeybee" written in script on his forearm. He said, "If I got a tattoo it had to be special".
There was never a day that went by where he didn't spend time with his brother Jacob or Mom. Even if it was just chatting in an on-line game or facetime messenger, they were always connected. His big brother Eddie was always there to be Dad to him when he needed it since his Dad was absent most of his life. With love and a firm word of advice he would give Jared the guidance he unknowingly desired.
He was instantly loved by all who knew him. He truly was so very handsome on the outside most would think he was a model but he never had an ego and no want for the attention he got from all those whom he came across. The biggest part of himself was his even more beautiful spirit. Friends called him the "Light in their lives" and the one who would always see the best in any situation. Never judging and always there for the one who needed a friend.
Our family was not expecting the loss of Jared or to have his life cut so short so soon. We are devastated by this loss and will feel the absence of Jared forever in our hearts and daily lives. He was the sweetest/kindest/most loving soul and a real joy to be around. GOD gained an amazing heart.
Jared will always be remembered and forever missed by his Mom Melisa and Stepdad Keith Cardin, identical twin brother Jacob Knowles, older brother Edward Wright, Jr., Desiree Stolarik, Stepbrother Keith Cardin, Jr. and Felicia Gigon with his Nieces, Nephews, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Paternal Grandparents and Father.
Preceded in death by his Maternal Grandparents.
Gone way too soon.
