Samuel James Jarman, son, grandson, brother, cousin and friend finished his earthly mission on February 3, 2014. Sam was born June 13, 1996 in Majuro on the Marshall Islands and arrived at our home in Salt Lake City, Utah three months later. Our lives were touched that day by a tiny boy who grew into an amazing young man with an infectious smile. Sam had the ability to bring peace and joy to our home and anywhere he went throughout his life.
Sam loved snowboarding, water skiing, hiking, biking, long boarding, sports of any kind but most recently he was playing La Crosse for Summit Academy High School. Sam loved to be with friends and family all of the time. In fact his favorite pastime was just ‘hanging out.’
In 2012, Sam had obtained the honor of Eagle Scout. He was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He had the opportunity in 2013 to fulfill a three week service mission for the Church in Nauvoo, IL. Since that time, Nauvoo has always held a special place in his heart filled with hard work, good memories and church service.
Sam is survived by his father and mother, Dean and Joelle and his siblings Ben and Jessie as well as countless family members and friends. Sam was proceeded in death by his mother Amy.
Funeral Services will be held Saturday, February 8, 2014 at 10:00am at the Sandy, UT Granite Stake Center, 2535 E Newcastle Dr. (8890 S). Friends and family may call at the church Friday evening between 6:00pm and 8:00pm.
Interment: Mountain View Memorial Park, 3115 E. 7800 S. Cottonwood Heights.
We are asking all who knew Sam to celebrate his life with us by wearing yellow and/or white in his honor as he brought peace and friendship to everyone he knew. Donations may be made on behalf of Sam Jarman to the General Missionary Fund for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
