"I had the privilege to work with Dr. Jarman for 3 years in his orthodontic practice. During that time he continually provided each patient with exceptional orthodontic care. I can not remember a time when he did not have a smile on his face. This is a loss not only to his family, friends and community but to the dental profession. He will be missed."

"I can only imagine the sadness at your loss at Jim’s death. I was startled when I saw the newspaper obituary. I am speechless. I was his Mission President in the California Arcadia Mission. He was one of our Zone Leaders. He was great. No one matched the enthusiasm and dedication he gave to his call. His loyalty to me and the other misssion leaders was without equal. Not only was he a very good teacher,he was a joy to be with. My spirits were always lifted when I had occasion to visit with him in person or on one of our many phone calls. The other missionaries still ask about him when I have visits from them. Whe he first began his orthodontilc practice he was like an excited little boy showing me around his office. I have always been very proud of him. I love the man. I have a tray his father made for me that has under glass Jim’s picture as well as those of his companions. That will keep his memory alive for me. I send my regards to his family. I can’t imagine how they can get along without him, but they will. Our hope is for another time and place that will sustain them. Are the children raised? Did any fill missions? Sincere and profound love to you all, President Martiln Zachreson"

"Dearest Jarman family. We are so grateful that we knew Jim and were fortunate to have felt of the love he has for those around him. With Jim you knew just where you stood. His heart and his love were boundless. His humor always kept things in perspective no matter the situation and he used that warm sense of humor often and liberally. Jim didn’t just have acquaintances he had friends. He has been a great example of how to live the principles of the gospel every day. He treated everyone as a brother or sister and could touch the inherent good in everyone he had the chance to know. We are so fortunate that we got to know Jim and have his influence in our family. We will miss him but always feel his love and warmth . Our prayers and thoughts are with each of you. Scott & Nancy"

I think of Jim and your family always, and with a smile. He was one of the most special students I got to know at the ULSD and I will never forget him. I will most certainly continue to pray for you and your family."

"" Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better but; because I knew you, I have been changed for good!" Dr. Jarman was so much more than my orthodontist, but a friend! I have never had such an amazing relationship with a doctor or a doctors staff before. There was NEVER a dull moment when in Dr. J’s office. He will have a very special place in my heart forever! Such a great presence and absolutely one of the grestest men I ever knew! I will never forget him, and all he did for not only my smile but my family and I. If only all doctors were as caring and wonderful as he. May his family always know how much he loved you, you are his legacy. My love, deepest sympathies, and prayers go out to you all at this time and forever! Love and miss you Dr. J. Respectfully, Kacie McSorley and The McSorley Family"

"Your family has my deepest condolences. I was very surprise when I saw the obituary, his picture is beneath my goodfriend’s husband’s picture and it caught my eye. Dr. Jarman was my son’s orthodontist during the early to mid 90s during my son’s Pop Warner days, He was always so good about replacing many broken brackets from football games when he was located on 67th & Bethany. He was a caring and patient person. Our prayers are forever with you family"

"We can’t begin to express how devastated we were to hear of the passing of Dr. Jarmon. He has been part of our family for over 10 years, guiding both the children not only through braces, but through many of life’s ups and downs. I really can’t imagine life without him. We have been honored to have had him as a part of our lives and wish our deepest condolences to his family. We hope the memories of his life will give you strength to endure this difficult time."

"Jim was such a giving person. It was so fun to sit back and watch him interact with his patients ~ always giving them a hard (but fun jabbing) about breaking a bracket or obviously eating what they shouldn’t have eaten! He was a great example of a disciple of Christ. You knew he loved his family and friends and realized what this life was all about. Our prayers and love are with Diane and the girls at this time. Love you guys!"

"My family and I are absolutely heart broken with the passing of our dear friend and doctor. He was a constant in our lives for the last 13 years, we saw him and "The J Crew" more than we saw our own extended family with visits sometimes twice a month. I can honestly say that this man was a precious human being. He cared for his patients as though they were family. He adored his family and talked about them with such love and joy. I don’t know how any of us will recover from the loss of such a wonderful man, it seems an impossible task, but my hope is our memories of him will warm our hearts and in time we will think of him and smile without the pain we are feeling now. To his family, we are blessed to have known him, we will NEVER forget him and our love and prayers go out to all of you."
