Jared Logan (Bear) Zess July 13, 1984 - November 3, 2019 Jared was many things to many people. He was a loving and wonderful father, a proud brother, a humble son, an adoring grandson, a devoted cousin, a honorable nephew, and doting uncle. He could be a fierce competitor, a loyal and hard working employee, and a committed and life long friend. His constant smile and positive outlook, even in the toughest times, were hallmarks of his personality that we will always remember. Jared passed away in his home on Sunday, November 3, 2019 following a long and difficult battle with cancer. Jared is part of a large and extended family, but in his immediate family, he leaves behind his three children, James (11), Skyla (6), and Logan (4); life/family partner, Rachel Reviczky; grandparents, Sam and Dianne Skogen, and Joyce Zess; parents, Rick Zess and Sue Bell, and his siblings, Lindsey and Kyle Zess. Jared was a brave, strong and loving man. He was fiercely committed to his family and was determined to fight his cancer with everything he had in order to be there for his children. Sadly, after bravely enduring many surgeries, chemo and radiation, he suffered a sudden seizure in his home on Sunday from which he was unable to recover. He will be missed so very much by all. There will be a Celebration of Life for Jared on Sunday, November 10 from 3-6 pm at the Thorncliffe/Greenview Community Association Hall.
