   Charles Jeffrey Jaresh, 71, of Howe, passed away Tuesday morning, July 2, 2019 at Carrus Specialty Hospital. Jeff was born in Kerma, Oklahoma on September 17, 1947 and was adopted by Edward E. and Rose Horak Jaresh. He graduated from Howe High School in Howe, Texas and later joined the Army where he was stationed in Germany. His service was cut short when his father suddenly passed away and he had to return home to run the family farm. He began working at Texas Instruments where he met his wife, Joan Green Jaresh. They were married May 19, 1972. He then began a career at the Sherman Fire Department where he was an EMT and later made the rank of Lieutenant and became a training officer. While working for the fire department, he also volunteered as a reserve police officer for the city. Being a public servant was always a career choice so the transition to a jailer for the Collin County Sheriff's Department was easy for him. He remained there until his retirement in 2007. After his retirement, he enjoyed playing league pool and riding his motorcycle, as well as watching his grandson play on many sports teams. Jeff is survived by his wife of Howe; step-daughters, Denise Barnes and husband, Sonny, of Dorchester; and Shelly Prewitt and husband, James, of Whitesboro; and grandson, Cameron Prewitt. He was preceded in death by his parents. Graveside services were held Friday afternoon in Hall Cemetery, Howe, Texas with Rev. Joe Vincent officiating. Arrangements were under the direction of Waldo Funeral Home in Sherman.   Hall Cemetery Susan Hawkins © 2024 If you find any of Grayson CountyTXGenWeb links inoperable, please send me a message. |
