NWFlyer 2 #2 August 26, 2009 Some of you only know Jarrett from his dropzone.com posts as packing_jarrett. The kid definitely enjoys stirring the shit and getting the drama going.But (at the risk of ruining his rep) you meet Jarrett in person and he's a pretty fucking cool kid - smart, ambitious, clever, and down to earth. He's lived pretty fast and done more at 18 than most people will do in all their lives; I just hope that he gets the chance to continue.

JohnMitchell 16 #6 August 26, 2009 I've been working and jumping with Jarret for about 2 years. Great flyer, great person, great coworker at the DZ, I always enjoyed being around him, in the air and on the ground. His easy going nature and sense of humor often hid the fact that he's a very intelligent, capable young man, very well liked by all. This is a very tough time. I'm hoping for the best for him. Our hearts go out to him and his family. Brett Martin (dad), take good care of him over there, and bring him back home to us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DangerRoo 0 #17 August 27, 2009 This latest update breaks my heart, thank you Monica Aikins for the Update. on Jarrett ... Aorta surgery good, torn not severed. Keeping him under a medical coma to keep blood pressure down. High blood pressure will undo what surgery just fixed. Breathing/Heart Pumping on his own. Dr.'s concern about his pancreas, kidneys, colon. His spinal cord is severed at waist. Brett was able to talk to him very shortly today. Our prayers, thoughts, and support go out to Jarrett and his family. (I.C.D#2 VP) ""I'm good with my purple penis straw" ~sky mama Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
