    Jed used to ride the bus with me and Brandy. We spend hours hanging out and just chilling on our rides home. He was a decent guy and it makes me sad to see he’s gone. My condolences.

      I’ve known Jed my entire life. It was always a great time having him come over to play as kids, ride his bike over to play video games or watch Monty Python with my brother and me as teenagers, and having him as an awesome roommate in college. He was always willing to give a hand to those who needed it, provide a laugh when it was needed most, and he could always find the good in anyone. Truly an amazing person I’m proud to call my friend.
