Obituary of Jared James Hausfeld

Jared James Hausfeld, 37, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, October 21, 2023, after he was in a tragic hunting accident. He was the ultimate family man, always leading, serving, and loving Emily, his wife of 12 years, and their three sons, Ryan (11), Mason (9), and Cole (5). A country boy at heart, he loved the outdoors and wanted to share that passion with his family by taking them on camping and boating trips and teaching his sons to hunt and fish. He took care of their acreage and cattle, and always had a building project he was working on at home. He loved coaching Mason and Cole in baseball, and Ryan in golf. Jared was born in Englewood, Ohio and grew up in Springboro. He was an avid golfer and enjoyed playing baseball. He graduated from the University of Tennessee with a degree in Business and has lived in Versailles for the last 8 years. Wanting to follow in his father’s footsteps, he entered the business world right out of college and eventually became business partners with his brother-in-law, Zach, at OKT Properties, which owned numerous businesses and commercial properties in the tri state area. Jared was a true man of character. He was honorable, kind, patient, and generous and would do anything for anyone who needed help, or even just to talk. He embraced a traditional lifestyle and loved his role as provider for his family as he supported Emily in homeschooling the boys. He was a caring husband, and the love that he and Emily had for each other was very special. His sons aspire to grow up to be like him one day and continue his legacy. His selfless giving of time for others in helping or coaching was appreciated by many, and his smile, laugh, and good nature will be missed by all. 

He is survived by his wife and sons, parents Brad and Chris Hausfeld of Springboro, OH, sister Jaclynn (Joey) Krella of Springboro, numerous nieces and nephews, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. Jared had a strong Christian faith and was a member of the Journey Church family. We find comfort in knowing he is in heaven now.  

A Funeral Service will be held 1:00pm, Saturday, October 28, 2023, at Journey Church in Versailles, with Rev. Randy Nation officiating. Visitation will be from 10:30am until the time of service at the church on Saturday.  

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests Memorial Contributions to the Children’s Hemiplegia & Stroke Association at chasa.org.
