Jared Alexander Hassin

WAUKESHA - Jared’s passion and energy were felt the second he walked into a room. He possessed the unique ability to captivate any audience about any topic. Tragically, Jared passed away on 24 October 2023.

Born and raised in Wisconsin, Jared loved everything Wisconsin... a true Sconnie at heart. Jared was naturally drawn to athletics. On the field, he was a fierce competitor and a loyal teammate. Off the field, his love of athletics was visible from his ‘you can never wear too much Badgers or Packers apparel’ attitude. Jared dreamt of coaching youth athletics. He wanted to teach, train, and mentor young people to realize their full potential.

Jared was fearlessly passionate about everything he did. He was always dreaming up new ideas and inspiring others to pursue their passions. Those who have him in their heart will always keep hot peppers growing in their yard and attempt to replicate recipes from the Great British Bakeoff.

Forever a dog person, Jared believed there was no love like the love of a dog. While deployed to Afghanistan, he built a memorial in honor of a four-legged hero, Cody, who protected his unit’s tactical outpost. Jared also volunteered at humane societies which led to the adoption of his forever buddies, Scott and Sherman.

Above all, Jared loved fiercely. Never short of kindness or compassion, he cared and believed in others with his whole heart. Jared’s spirit lives on through an incredibly caring and loving network of family, friends, teammates, and battle buddies. Jared will be laid to rest in the magnificent Rocky Mountains. We are grateful for our memories and all that Jared taught us in his 33 years of life. GO ARMY, BEAT NAVY!
