 "What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. 

All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.”

~ Helen Keller 

JARED BOTT

Jared J. Bott, beloved husband, father, son, brother, and friend, passed away November 16, 2021, at the young age of 44 surrounded by his loving family and friends.

Jared was born April 22, 1977, in Payson, Utah to Ed and Jane Bott. He was the second of four children. Jared grew up in Payson and graduated from Payson High School in 1995. As a young man, he spent many hours working alongside his father in his drywall business. Jared later worked at Fibertel for more than 20 years. In 2019, alongside his friend and business partner, Cody Christensen, he started his own successful fiber optics business Optimize. He was truly a jack of all trades.

Jared married Mellenie Buhler and had two beautiful children but eventually divorced. He later married Jessica Kearl at their favorite lookout point, the Pink Cliffs in Bryce Canyon, by his best friend, Matt Fenn.

Jared touched the hearts and lives of so many. He was truly a friend to all. He enjoyed camping, hunting, and shed hunting with family and friends. He was especially good at cooking and he loved to share the many great meals he prepared.

He is survived by his loving wife Jessica; sons, Hunter and Heston; daughter, Brekelle; loving parents, Ed and Jane; dear brother, David; sister, Katie (Mike) Holt; many nieces and nephews who love and adored him.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents: Junior and Lois June Lundell and John Edward Bott III and Vera Bott Bayer, and uncle Craig J. Lundell.
