Jared Michael Hinaman

Jared was truly one of a kind. A people person with a larger-than-life personality, he had a special gift for connecting with others. He could walk into a room full of strangers and leave with a room full of friends.

A diehard Florida Gators fan and loyal Denver Broncos supporter, Jared never backed down from a spirited sports debate.

Above all, Jared’s greatest pride and joy was his 11-year-old daughter, Azaelea. He often told her, “You are my world.” Those weren’t just words; he said them to others about her, too, and even

wrote them in a card to her. He loved Azaelea beyond words and was incredibly proud of the young woman she was becoming.

Jared was preceded in death by his mother, Teri Hinaman. His father, David Paul Hinaman, passed away nine days later, on October 10, 2026.

He is survived by his beloved daughter, Azaelea, his brother, Brian Hinaman, and his aunt, Patricia Smith, along with extended family and many friends.

Jared’s life was far too short, but the love he shared will live on, especially through his daughter. May Azaelea always remember her father’s words: “You are my world.” She was his world, and he was so proud to be her dad.

“Love never fails.” — 1 Corinthians 13:8

Though Jared may no longer be here to tell Azaelea how much he loves her, that love will always be part of who she is.

Rest peacefully, Jared. Forever loved, never forgotten
