In Memoriam

Jared Patrick Bush

Geneseo senior

Jared Patrick Bush, 18, born March 25, 1985 in Rochester. Jared was a senior at Geneseo Central School. He had a passion for hot cars, trucks, computers and shooting pool.

For reasons we will never know, Jared tragically took his life on April 12, 2003. His family and friends loved him dearly and will bear a scar on their hearts forever. He is survived by his parents, Bob and Cheryl and sister, Jessica, and more family and friends than one could every mention here. Friends called Tuesday at the Kevin W.
