    Jarron Evan Haberer, 14, of Highland, IL, was called to Heaven on Saturday, January 29, 2022.

    Jarron was born May 25, 2007, in Breese, IL, to Jessie (Busch) Hankins and Danny Haberer.

    Jarron was a Freshman at Highland High School.  He wrestled in the Highland Bulldogs Jr. Wrestling Club for eight years.  Jarron had the most beautiful smile, the biggest heart, and the sweetest soul.  He was strong willed and true to himself.  You would always find a Beanie on his head, even at the beach.  He loved his cat, Hulk, more than anything.  Jarron enjoyed scary movies and stories, skateboarding, Play Station 4 and always had a good time hanging out with his friends.  He loved takis, hot wings and anything spicy; and was always up for a hot sauce challenge.

    Jarron was preceded in death by his grandfather, Dan Haberer; step-father, Max Hankins II; great grandmother, Betty Haberer.

    He is survived by his loving mother, Jessie (Nate Piurek) Hankins, Highland, IL; father, Daniel Haberer; brothers, Blaine (Kaylee Barth) Haberer, Ledger Hankins, Lyeden Hankins, all of Highland, IL; grandparents, Vicky & Ray Busch, Sandy & Rod Stewart, Cindy & Terry Zweig; great grandfather, William Haberer; his beloved cat, Hulk; and numerous Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and Friends who loved him dearly.

    Memorials may be made to the Highland Bulldog Junior Wrestling Club or to his Family, c/o Jessie Hankins.

    Jarron was the most amazing friend anyone could ever ask for. Jarron and I used to hang out everyday and walk around highland to explore new places. He taught me how to live life to the fullest and try new things. Jarron was the sweetest most goofiest person I had ever met. I’m not the most religious person but I know wherever he is he is watching over us.

    I did not know Jarron nor do I know any of your family, but I am so very sorry for your loss. I know that he must have been someone very special. My prayers are with you all.

    My Jarron is a great young man. He was a great friend to Keilen. I will miss his smiling face. Him and I had a lot of serious talks. Sometimes I think he wished I would be quiet. He never was disrespectful to me. He would give me that smile and say I understand grandma. I am not his grandma but he could always call me that. Jess and family I don’t have words to say that will make us feel better. It is a terrible loss. I am so sorry that I can’t come see my little buddy. Your weather isn’t safe for traveling. When I come back in the summer we will go visit him. Love you all. Give him knuckles for me. Grandma Paula

    There are no words to express loosing Jarron. He was in our class and I will miss him. He always had a smile on his face and he would say Mrs. G. gets me and I did get him. He would tease me and I would tease him. My heart goes out to you. Sending prayers for everyone.

    I only knew Jarron for a brief period of time in high school but he quickly became one of my best friends, he would be at my house after school any day he could and we would play Black Opps and Resident Evil and show each other our favorite songs. I miss you brother, till we meet again, rest in peace.
