Jared was born on July 18, 1987 in Salt Lake City, UT. Five days later, he was adopted by Clayton Ray Bartholomew and Teresa Louise Stowe Bartholomew. He was later sealed to them in the Manti Utah Temple.
Jared grew up in both Orem, Utah and West Jordan, Utah. He graduated from West Jordan High School in 2005. He enjoyed classes where he could work with his hands, such as metal shop and wood shop. His love fishing and the outdoors stemmed from his numerous adventures fishing the Provo River with his father and brother, family trips to Bridal Veil Falls, and many camping trips with his Boy Scouts troop. He was a huge fan of Star Trek and Sci-Fi movies and TV shows. He loved to watch the Utah Jazz and was a University of Utah sports fan. He had a love of dogs. Throughout his life he had four dogs, the last of which was a Christmas gift from the Austin family, whom he named George.
He was a passionate man, who loved family above all else. He deeply loved his mother, and the loss of her at the young age of 14 affected him greatly. That may have been a catalyst which caused him to have a very difficult life in his adult years. Even through his extreme difficulties, he was full of love, especially to his father, brothers and daughter. He was always a joy to be around, and could make you laugh with his unique smirk and a joke. He was a baptized member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and held those beliefs strong through the majority of his life.
He is survived by his father, Clayton, his brothers Joseph Dean Bartholomew, 37, (Fort Myers, FL) and Jacob Clayton Bartholomew, 11, (Atlanta, GA), his daughter Ehleara Michelle Matthiesen, 8 (Salt Lake City, UT), his niece Aubrey Grace Bedsole, 11 (San Diego, CA) and nephew Eli Mitchell Keen, 1 month, (Fort Myers, FL), his aunts and uncles Pam Braithwaite (Salina, UT), Deann (Craig) Bluemel (Lyman, WY), Mary (Rick) Dove (North Ogden, UT), Janice (Rex) Oliver (Santa Clara, UT), Christine (Keith) Hortin (Salt Lake City, UT), Paul (Maria) Stowe (Munich, Germany), and Martine (Dennis) Crookston (Logan, UT) and many cousins, as well as two special people who cared for him, James and Nancy Austin (Salt Lake City, UT).
He is preceded in death by his mother Teresa (2002), his grandparents George (1972) and Dorothy Stowe (2011) and Dean (1999) and Darlene Bartholomew (2004), and his uncles Dean Brent Bartholomew (1947) and Paul Braithwaite Sr (2011), and cousins Christopher Dean Oliver (1984) and Trevin White Braithwaite (2013). Their reunion will be glorious.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, May 11 at 12:00pm, with a viewing preceding at 10:30am. It will be held at the Deuel Creek Ward building at 690 N 400 W Centerville, UT. Interment will follow the services at the Salt Lake City Cemetery. For specific location or questions, please contact Joseph (joeyb16fl@gmail.com).
