Jared W. Enos, Martha's Vineyard

He was born on April 6, 1986 in Oak Bluffs at the Martha's Vineyard Hospital. Jared spent the first 15 years of his life in West Tisbury with his loving parents, Bill and Cindy, and his younger brother, Matt. From an early age, he showed great promise in building, designing, and fabricating machinery. He also was very artistic and as he grew, Jared developed an interest in engine repair and motorworks.

The Enos family moved to Belmont, Maine in June, 2001, where he acquired many friends who became part of his extended family. He graduated from Belfast Area High School in 2004 and then attended Central Main Community College where he studied automotive mechanics. Jared then returned to his first home, Martha's Vineyard, where he was employed by his dear friends, the Belain family who operated Mid Island Repair.

Jared was currently residing in Belmont, Maine, with his loving family where he was employed by Dirigo Glass.

To his numerous friends and family members, he was "Jay Rod," a wise, wild, outrageous, and beautiful young man with an infectious energy and zest for life. He lived every day like it was his last and always tried to carry on the message that "Life is precious; have fun."

Jared is survived by his parents, Bill and Cindy Enos of Belmont, Maine; his brother, Matthew R. Enos of Belmont; his maternal grandparents, Richard and Cynthia Glass of Waldo, Maine; his paternal grandmother, Catherine Griffin of Falmouth; his aunts and uncles: Melinda and Bruce Pomelow of Bucksport, Maine; Cindy and Andrew Bonnell of Edgartown; Robert and Donna Enos of Edgartown; his loving cousins, Elyce and Eli of Edgartown, Caleb and Lucy Enos of Edgartown, Amanda Termini of Edgartown, Marianne Bouchard of Bangor, Maine; and many, many beloved friends, most of whom reside in Maine and Massachusetts. Jared was predeceased by his paternal grandfather, William C. Enos of Edgartown.

A celebration of Jared's life will be held on Saturday, August 22, at 1 pm at the family home at 146 Lincolnville Road in Belmont, Maine. A second celebration will be held in Jared's honor on Martha's Vineyard, the date and time to be announced at a later date.
