Jarred Christopher Coil

Jarred Christopher Coil, 46, of Jacksonville, Oregon, passed away surrounded by friends on April 20, 2026.

Jarred was born on March 20, 1980, in San Diego, California to Olivia and Gary Coil. The West Coast was where Jarred’s heart lived. After spending his childhood in Waverly, Iowa, he traveled the country and found his home in Oregon, where he lived high in the mountains, among nature, and without exception. Jarred easily formed instant connections with the people he met. He never met a stranger — and he’d say he knew no one named Stranger.

He cared deeply for his family and friends and was happiest when others were happy. With his wit, cleverness, and unparalleled ability to find humor in everything, Jarred made people laugh even during the most difficult times. Yet, beneath the humor, he made sure that people knew and heard he loved them. To him, love was all he had to give. Jarred’s absence is deeply felt, but his impact remains woven into the lives of those who miss him, and his story continues through his children: Journi, Sebastian, and Everest.

Jarred leaves behind his father, Gary Coil (Sharon Coil); his children, Journi Coil-Vanarsdale, Sebastian Coil-Vanarsdale, and Everest Coil; Journi and Sebastian’s mother, Erica Vanarsdale; Everest’s mother, Jessica Bartscher; his sister, Yolanda Coil (Rob Frew); and his dog of 15 years, Elora. Jarred was preceded in death by his mother, Olivia Coil, whose love he carried with him, always.
