Ayden Barber
I don't know if anyone will see this post, being over a year and a half since Jerrid's passing. I am Jerrid's son, Ayden Jason Barber. I first want to apologize for not being able to attend Jerrid's service, and also not reaching out sooner. I did not know of this tribute page until looking for information on Dad for a school autobiography. I did not know my father for long. I was raised solely by my mother, and I did not get to see Dad until I was 8 years old. I saw him every Sunday at his house, but these meetings stopped when I was 9 or 10 years old. Because of these circumstances, I do not have many distinct memories of him and me. I do remember that Dad, my mother, and I all went ice skating together. That is my only memory of all three of us together, besides when I first met him. As his son, I regret not knowing Jerrid better. I encourage anyone who was close to Jerrid to reach out via my email at [email protected] or by phone number at 262-977-5639. Since I did not know him well, I would love to hear stories of him or even just talk to someone who was close. Even though in my 17 years I only knew him for 2, I miss Dad and love him dearly. Again, I apologize for this post coming so late. Not knowing what happened to my own father has been a weight on my chest and typing this has been like therapy to me. I do truly hope someone is able to find this post. I hope to see you in Heaven one day, Dad. I love you.
