One moving tribute came from Christina Sheldon, who shared a touching message celebrating Jessica’s life and the special memories they shared:

“R.I.P. Jessica Claar, and thank you for sharing your beautiful spirit with us for as long as we were blessed to have you! I remember this day and the joy it brought all of us, especially when that wave hit us the moment our picture was taken! There are so many fond memories of growing up around you, my dad’s best friend Rip Jeff Summers, and the ‘Brady Bunch’ of a family that resulted. My boys loved playing with your grandson, and I cherished the friendships I developed with Sandra and Kelsey.

I just wish we hadn’t drifted apart so long ago. Hopefully your passing will be a positive catalyst for reconnecting us, as I believe everything happens for a reason — your tragedy shall not be in vain. I pray your spirit is now flying free and happily reunited with all those you were missing in this life.

To Sandra Powell, Kelsey Claar, and the rest of the family, my condolences for your profound loss. My prayers are with you, and I’m here to help in any way I can. Please do not hesitate to call on me for even the smallest of needs. Sending love and light to you all.”

Jessica’s passing has brought together many whose lives she touched — a testament to her kindness, laughter, and unwavering compassion. Friends describe her as a beautiful soul who could light up any room with her smile and make everyone around her feel valued and loved.

As the Claar family navigates this period of unimaginable grief, the outpouring of love and support from the community serves as a reminder of how deeply Jessica was cherished. Her memory will continue to inspire those who knew her, a reflection of the love and joy she shared so freely.

Plans for a memorial service and ways to honor Jessica’s memory will be announced once arrangements are finalized.

Jessica Claar will be remembered for her gentle heart, radiant spirit, and deep devotion to her family and friends — a legacy that will live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.
