Jaron Baker [model]

Not sure how did these people know about his death. Only his family know if he is alive or dead, nothing I hate the most then fake 'caring' and all the 'r.i.p brother', 'knowing you' messages and comments despite these people knew him through modelling or from sharing a aprtment less than a month.
I see your point that some people may be doing it to get attention for themselves/“clout chasing”, but in this case it seems like Jaron was a very impactful person in many peoples lives. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing similarly special/impactful people in my life, often for short periods (at a job/on a project/at a friend-of-a-friend’s event) and we don’t stay in touch, but I like knowing they’re out there spreading their light.

it would seem Jaron was one of those kinds of people and I’m sure there were lots of text groups (or other ways of connecting, I’m old) containing many friends, so the word spread quickly.

I’m sorry this was your initial reaction to this news - I hope you can find a bright light kind of person like Jaron to enrich your life experiences.

I only found out about Jaron a few weeks ago when I followed this thread. I was surprised to hear of his passing, but have been touched by the outpouring of grief for this young man. It reminds me I need to reach out to those special bright lights in my life and remind them how special they are to me and the world.

End of rant. Rest in peace, Jaron
