"To the family of Jarius Lightfoot: I can remember first meeting Jarius when he came to my house with my son Antwan and how mannerable and delightful he was (and funny).He became a special part of my family (like a son) and he will always be remembered. Jarius and Antwan use to spend alot of time together listening to music in the house and watching movies. Jaruis always kept me laughing. My prayers go out to the family. Sincerely, Anita Singleton, Antwan Banks, Atoya Williams"

"It is so sad to see someone with promise be taken from us at such a young age. I ask God to give his family strength and courage at this time and May God Bless Him."

"Jarius I miss you very much! You were one of my good friends. I thank you for being there for me even when I didn't need you. I could tell you cared. I miss your sarcasm badly, you were very funny. I miss going outside and walking around the corner knowing I won't see you standing there. I also miss not seeing you in class or the hallway. We have many memories together and that is what I am going to miss most. I can't put into words the amount of pain I feel knowing every new day I awake it's just one day farther away from me seeing you last. But than again it is one day closer to seeing you in heaven. Every night I just want to cry thinking of you but I hold back and try not to because I know you would want me to be happy. I am so scared to go to your services because it's going to feel so final. I mean, right now I know I won't be able to see you and I know that, but it doesn't feel final because you're not "buried" yet. But Jarius I want you to know that I love you to death and I will miss you badly. Rest in peace baby-boy. I Love You, Lauren"

"you are forever in the hearts and minds of those you have left behind... your smile will continue to brighten our hearts and you will always be loved."

"ur in a betta place u will always be missed luv u r.i.p"

"Me and you werent close.But we were friends and that counted for something.Your death happened so unexpectedly.You were so young and fully of life.You were always laughing which made everyone around you lively.But now you're resting.Ill see you when I get there.Save a spot for me. Love you always, Tashauna"

"My deepest condolences to the family of Jarius. As a mother of a 16 year old son myself, who knew Jarius, I can not imagine the pain you are feeling. I hope it brings you some peace to know that he is in a better place now. Away from all of this violence."

"My deepest sympathy to your family. I did not know JR, but I do know how much my grandson Jerontay thought of his "best bud". I'm truly sorry for your loss."

"I have known you since 4th grade and you will be remembered as a good friend. You alway made me laugh and stood up for me when other kids made fun of me. I will miss you. R.I.P.your friend Anthonty."

"I was not fortunate enough to know Jarius, but I wanted to send my thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. My sister, Mariah, knew him from school and she would also like to send her condolences. I am so sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace."
