“(Yesterday) we lost an amazing person. He was an amazing son, brother, uncle and, most of all, an amazing father to his four-year-old baby girl who was the apple of his eye,” Alisha Erin wrote on a GoFundMe page.

“He was just riding around the back field behind his house when life took a turn for the worst.

“They tried what they could to save Jarrod but sadly, they could do no more, so sadly we lost him.

“Jarrod had a heart of gold and wore his heart on his sleeve and he helped anyone that needed it — (if) you were in trouble, it was Jarrod to the rescue.”
