I was saddened to hear yesterday about the death of Jared Smith.
Most people today know him as the guy behind CHSWX where he did a lot of local weather reporting, and quickly became the source for information during severe weather events for lots of people across the Lowcountry.
I know him as an tech and weather geek who spoke about everything with excitement and enthusiasm.
I first met him a long, long time ago (if you call 20 years a long time) in a place not far away, when a group of local bloggers started getting together in person. Jared wasn’t part of the group of bloggers, but he was one of those “Twitter” people who joined us at our quasi-regular meetups.
Tech, baseball, and weather (not necessarily in that order) were the things he was always enthusiastically talking about.
Jared’s death is a huge loss for all of us who knew him, and I know we’ll all miss him.
