MSgt. Jerred Shorthill

I love sharing stories and talking about Jerred. He was my idol growing up after all.

Jerred was an incredible human. He was smart and so well driven it wasn't even funny. Jerred loved spending his free time outside. That guy could fish! He absolutely loved camping and boating. He was super outdoorsy.

Jerred always wanted to be in the Airforce and that's just what he did. He traveled the world, I think his favorite was Japan and now I'm obsessed and someday will go there!! He had a giggle that made you wonder what he was up to. We really miss that guy. I really miss that guy.

Life after Jerred has been nothing short of a uphill battle I feel like I lose everyday. We really had no idea we would lose him this way. I'm forever heart broken and lost without him. Thank you for reading about him.
