Kristopher Scott Jarrett's spirit passed suddenly from its earthly vessel on March 24, 2022, in Roanoke, Virginia. Kris was forty-nine years old, passing only one month shy of his fiftieth birthday. He was born in Roanoke on April 20, 1972, to Rebecca Diana Meadors ("Diane") and James Lloyd Jarrett. Diane and James gave Kris an older brother, Tony Jarrett, also of Roanoke.

A proud attendee of William Fleming High School, Kris eventually obtained his GED. With Patricia A. Wright (48) of Roanoke, he shared a son and a daughter: Justin S. Jarrett (25) of Lexington, Virginia, and Kayla R. Jarrett (23) of Roanoke. With Nancy S. Jarrett of Roanoke, to whom he was married and later divorced, he shared a son, Joseph Jarrett ("Joey"), who is thirteen years old. Although Nancy and Kris decided to divorce, they remained very close friends for the remainder of his life. He also had one granddaughter, Rhiannon A. Stores (2), born of his daughter, Kayla.

Among his favorite activities were throwing the football with his children, listening to music (mostly rock), and having a cold drink (or two) after a long day. Always to be remembered as a fun-loving, free spirit, he will be sorely missed by his loved ones. Kris was preceded in death by his mother, Diane, and his father, James. He is succeeded by his three children, Justin, Kayla, and Joey.
