was born June 7, 1983, in Dallas, Texas to Leonard and Ollie Jarvis. He will forever be cherished for his charismatic personality, boisterous laugh, and the profound love he had for his family. As a child, Avery was always intrigued by nature. He enjoyed all the pleasures that Mother Nature had to offer. He was no stranger to fishing, hunting, and just sitting outside, taking in all there was. Avery attended Mark Twain Elementary and graduated with his high school diploma from Caldwell High School. Avery leaves to cherish his memories his parents, Leonard and Ollie, his siblings, nieces, nephews, and a great niece. Avery is preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Ruben and Leother Jarvis, his maternal grandmother, J. Dorothy Burns, and a host of relatives and extended family. Let us always remember him for the legacy he leaves behind, which is to love completely, forgive quickly and to share joy without constraint.

0RWKHUşV 7ULEXWH THE BROKEN CHAIN by Ron Tranmer We little knew that day, God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death, we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you. You did not go alone. For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide. And although we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

)DWKHUşV 7ULEXWH A Picture Of You By Deborah Robinson I only have a picture now, a frozen piece of time To remind me of how it was when you were here, and mine. I see your smiling eyes each morning when I wake I talk to you, and place a kiss upon your lovely face. How much I miss you being here, I really cannot say The ache is deep inside my heart and never goes away. I hear it mentioned often that time will heal the pain But if I’m being honest, I hope it will remain. I need to feel you constantly to get me through the day. I loved you so very much why did you go away? The angels came and took you that really wasn’t fair. They took my Son my future life. My heir. If only they had asked me if I would take your place I would have done so willingly leaving you this world to grace.

I hope you’re watching from above at the daily tasks I do And let there be no doubt at all I really do love you.

We have only your memory, dear boy to remember our whole life through But the sweetness will linger forever as we treasure the image of you.

Although we seem so far apart Son, you’re always in our heart. You filled our lives with pleasure and joy

You were to us our precious boy. A little while shall pass and then We will see each other, once again. Loved, remembered and held so dear In hearts and minds. Son, you’re always near.

What would I give to clasp his hand His happy face to see; To hear his voice and see his smile that meant so much to me.
