Please share your stories with me as we all endure these god awful feelings and sorrows. He wanted this bad.

Jarett will keep an eye out for us. Praying for the rest of the troops. Jarett dreamt of flying since he was a little boy. His parents always told me stories about it. While Jarett was serving in Iraq from 2008-2009, he told me he wanted to apply to flight school. I said sure okay, I didn't even know what an Apache was. Well sure enough, when this boy puts his mind to it, its going to happen. Jare

tt returned safely from Iraq and 10 months later he was reporting to Fort Rucker, AL for flight school. I was fortunate to move with him a couple months later. Jarett studied his butt of throughout the 20 months it took to get through everything. He never took shortcuts, took a break, nothing. He kicked ass. Jarett graduated flight school April 19, 2012 as an AH-64D Helicopter Pilot. This was one of the best days of his life. I could feel every ounce of happiness. Jarett and I moved back home and soon found out he would be deploying in August. We changed our wedding date to July 7, 2012 to have no conflicts because Jarett wanted to get on this deployment. He needed to serve his country doing what he dreamed of doing. Well, that came to an earlier end than we all hoped for. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that this would happen to such an amazing man. He was such a perfect perfect man. I, Heather, his wife cannot express how much I loved him and appreciated every ounce of him. He was the best husband I could've ever dreamed of. He surpassed everything I looked for and made it better. I will never be the same. We completed each other. I know I have the best guardian angel there is. We got this babe. I love you baby boy. Til we meet again. xoxo

Thank you to everyone took part in the 2023 Jarett Yoder Memorial Fund 10K! Your continued support, remembering, and honoring is truly appreciated. I cannot believe we have been at this for 10 years now, but am so thankful to have this space and this event to honor Jarett!

As always, all proceeds are donated to local non-profits. We were able to donate $5500 this year! Y’all are incredible. The memorial fund is also fortunate to receive donations throughout the year that are also used to support these events. The recipients were two special organizations.

Brecknock Township Volunteer Fire Department has always been a part of my life, thanks to my neighbors. After losing, Mike Lutz last year, I couldn’t think of a more meaningful donation. Mike was always a part of my life, and I’ll never forget the day Jarett died. Mike was always watching out for us, next door. Unfortunately, he witnessed the men knocking on my door that day. Thank you, Mike. We will never forget you or your family.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Berks County took me in during the first year of this event. They allowed me to become a part of their organization and taught me so much. Jim was always understanding and patient as I learned the ropes. They are such a passionate organization that I feel honored to continue to support them. Thank you Jim!

Without your support, none of this would be possible. Over the past 10 years, not only do you all continue to honor and remember Jarett, but you are also supporting some incredible organizations. We have donated over $25,000 in the last 10 years.

Thank you will never be enough.
