Jared Ephraim Badger
d. October 6, 2014
"Loving son, brother, father and friend"
Jared Badger passed away on Monday October 6, 2014. He was born on February 3, 1977 in Provo, UT to Catherine and Farrell Badger of Mapleton Utah.
Jared was the oldest of 11 children. He grew up in Springville, Utah where he had many wonderful friends. He served an LDS mission to Lithuania. He married Megan Killpack in the Manti Temple and was later divorced. Jared was a devoted father to his two identical twin daughters Lauren (13) and Leanna (13) Badger, lovingly referred to as the 'chiclets'.
Jared lived in Midvale, Utah where he made a career doing what he excelled at in computer infrastructure and security. He was employed as the Senior IT Director of Infrastructure at Progressive Financial. He had a brilliant mind that allowed him to pick up almost any knowledge with ease. His days of formal schooling pretty much ended in Junior High even though he occasionally attended high school and Brigham Young University. An entire night reading complex technical books was his preferred method of learning. In the missionary training center others would wonder how he was learning Lithuanian without much study. He mastered it and prided himself on a near native accent. He also picked up piano the same way. Jared lived his life to the fullest as he pursued diverse passions from family history, to rock climbing, computers, astronomy and camping along with many others. He also just completed the St. George Marathon this last weekend. He traveled extensively including trips to Africa, Brazil, Ireland, and Jamaica among others.
Jared is survived by his parents, Catherine and Farrell Badger, and his two daughters Lauren and Leanna Badger along with his ten younger siblings -- Anna (Daniel) Seelos, Amy (Brent) Hedquist, Ryan Badger, Rachel (Patrick) Roundy, Jesse (Toni) Badger, Aaron (HaLee) Badger, Laurel (Dan) Kidd, Joel Badger, Ammon Badger, and Heather Badger. He is also survived by 10 adoring nieces and nephews -- with three on the way.
The funeral will be held on Saturday, October 11th, 2014, 11:00 am at the Heritage LDS Chapel on 1600 N. Main Street in Mapleton, Utah. Family and friends may visit prior to the funeral from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. The family wishes to thank all for their outpouring of love and support. It has been invaluable. They would like to request that you email memories and pictures to memoriesofjaredbadger@gmail.com.
