“You are my forever and I will continue to let other people know of the hope in Jesus you found and spoke so boldly about.
Suicide doesn’t get the last word. I won’t let it. You always said ‘Hope Gets the last word. Jesus does.’ Your life’s work has lead thousands to the feet of Jesus and your boldness to tell other about your struggle with anxiety and depression has helped so many other people feel like they weren’t alone. YOU WERE an anthem of hope to everyone, baby, and I’ll do my best to continue your legacy of love until my last breath.
I need you, jare. But you needed Jesus to hold you and I have to be okay with that. You are everything to me. Since the day we met. J & J. Love you more.
These are photos of him in his happy place – fishing the day away . I’ll teach our boys all your tricks, babe. Promise. You are my #anthemofhope“
The church family Wilson left behind is just as devastated by the loss of their passionate leader who was on fire for Jesus.
“At a time like this, there are just no words,” Harvest Administrative Pastor Paul Eaton said in a statement.

Post swim hangs ⚡️ Madly in love with you, @jarridwilson. Better together. Forever .
“Sometimes people may think that as pastors or spiritual leaders we are somehow above the pain and struggles of everyday people. We are the ones who are supposed to have all the answers. But we do not,” Eaton added. “At the end of the day, pastors are just people who need to reach out to God for His help and strength, each and every day.”
Please join us in praying for the Wilsons and the Harvest Christian Fellowship church family during this devastating time.
