Jared Walter Pruitt
Jared Walter Pruitt, 34 of Benton City Washington, passed away March 28, 2025, in Richland Washington.
Jared was born in Richland Washington to Lisa Mars & Darrin Pruitt. He spent his youth between Benton City Washington and Kent Island Maryland. He could be found boogie boarding on the beaches of Ocean City with family, enjoying family trips to Silverwood, biking with friends, or playing any kind of sports with anyone who would join.
Those who knew Jared in his youth knew a bright, compassionate, smart, athletic boy who loved the world and people around him.
Jared completed courses at Camp Outlook in eastern Washington, achieving multiple letters of recommendation in 2008-2009
In June 2011 he finished high school courses and received his diploma.
In 2012 Jared’s greatest accomplishment in this life was born, a son, Ky Pruitt, who brought love, light, joy, and a pride Jared had never known!
Jared is survived by his son Ky Pruitt, mother Lisa Mars, Father Darrin Pruitt, stepmom Terry Pruitt, and sister Jordanne Pruitt. A celebration of life will be held later this summer at a date still to be determined.
Jared’s family does not want him to be remembered by the mistakes he made along the way. We do want you to know mental health and addiction is a struggle for many, and was a long-fought battle that Jared lost in the end. There is hope and help out there for those who are ready, please know you are never too far gone to help.
Rest in Peace little brother,
We used too write poems,
We were supposed too get old.
You left to soon, this life is a mere blink of an eye compared to the infinite and beyond. Rest bro.
I’m sorry I was to busy dealing with my own demons, and forgot we could have battled them as one.
A light from our family is gone
A voice we loved is stilled
A place is vacant in the home
Which never can be filled
We have to mourn the lost of one
We would’ve loved to keep
But God who surely loved him best
Has finally made him sleep
After a lifetime of his love and joy
And music to fill our ears
God leaves us with these wondorous memories
To help us with these tears

He was loved by so many.!!!
Rest in peace my friend. I know the struggle and i am broken hearted it ended for you how it did. I will forever cherish the memories made at kibe and your sweet heart. I hope you have found the peace you needed. I pray your family has comfort in knowing the battle is over and they have a handsome guardian angel. I love you my friend rest easy ♥️
Damn man really wish you gotten a hold of the clean life. You were one of my first friends when I moved to benton city you were a really good friend before the bullshit got ahold of you, hope youre in heaven having deep meaningful talks about the universe with the angels up there… R.I.P
I just wanted to say that he was a great friend. When I met him, I was struggling as well and he was nothing but a good friend to me. I’ll never forget the kindness that he showed. I know the struggle of mental health and how it can change a person dramatically, and I understand everything that occurs with it. I just pray that he has found peace and that God will lead him in the light for the rest of his eternity. He was loved and very, very, very much missed and liked. I’m sorry for your guys’s loss.
Ahh man.. Keep getting flashes of all the crazy/fun times we had growing up and then after school before I moved away to work on myself. I could always count on you to have my back even when you started to lose yourself if I needed you all I had to do was ask and the same for you if you ever needed me. You were one of my best friends and I still have the Tatt from my 21st with all our initials in it lol . You will be missed! You will be remembered! And I love you man hope you are able to rest in peace finally.
There are no words. This is not only a loss of love but also of hope for a future. His mind is resting and soul is finally at ease. Jared you were by far one of the greatest people to ever cross my path. Always circling back around at the moment I needed you the most. You have always been non-judgemental, kind, and could listen for hours giving the best advice although I wish you would have taken some of it yourself. I’ll have a place in my heart for you until the day we meet again. Goodbye my friend.
You are now pain free and living the best life in heaven. I know are throwing some bonfires with all yout friends and loved ones who were waiting for you. I’ll forever cherish our memories with you and ray ray and all of our friends. You be forever missed but not forgotten
I know we haven’t hung out much since we were teenagers, but we always had a good time when you came over to kick it at my house. I’m gonna miss randomly seeing you around town and catching up. Rest easy, brother.
Prayers for you to be at peace, remembering all the good times. Love you.
Praying for your family.
Lisa and Jordanne,
My deepest condolences for your loss! Big hugs!
Oh Lisa, I am so sorry about your precious son.
I was drawn to your sons obituary, because of your sons age, not because I personally knew him, nor did I realize he was related to you. You see, I too have lost a son recently. Those who have died young, have a special place in my heart.
Please know, I understand your shock, grief and heartache. How I wish I could ease those from your sorrow.
He looks like a fine young man. His obituary was lovingly written.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
God Speed.
Lori (Gustafson) Pappas-Saueressig.
