Here's the message from his bandmate Erik Rutan:
"JARED ANDERSON, MY BROTHER, MY FRIEND, R.I.P.
This has been so hard for me to put into words for I am just devastated. Jared was such an incredible person, amazing musician and most of all, a best friend, a brother, family. Jared and I played together for over 5 years in Hate Eternal. We worked together on Internecine, we toured together with Morbid Angel and spent some of the best days of our lives together as band mates and as best friends. Jared was so devoted to his music, life, his friends and his family. There was nothing he would not do for anyone he cared for. Jared was there for me as I was for him, through thick and thin, good times and bad, a friend you could trust with your life. Jared and I spoke last week as we often did ,he sounded so positive, healthy in his heart, in his mind, in his body. Jared worked so hard to accomplish all his goals in life and his dreams. We always talked about the good ole times and how great it would be to play together again someday. How Jared, Derek and I did so much together and lived a dream that so many wish to live. These times I will always cherish. Jared will always be a part of me for the rest of my life. I will never forget the friend he was to me and the endless devotion and loyalty he had for his fans, friends and family. I will always be grateful to have had Jared be such a big part of my life. I shall carry on your memory forever ,your music will live on forever, your spirit will live on forever. Let us rejoice in all he did in his life and for the lives around him that he ever so touched. Now it is time for me to go support the Anderson family in their time of need and do one of the hardest things I have ever done, put my best friend to eternal rest.
You will never be forgotten my friend, may you find peace!!!
I love you brother!!
