The man, the myth, the legend. Jared L. Tardugno, 41, of Sandown, N.H., died on February 24, 2020, at his home from cardiac arrest.

A charismatic frontman, Jared could captivate a room with his larger than life presence and charming personality. Jared spent years performing as a vocalist with his band, Midnight Jump, and had a great passion for music. Jared had a zest for life and could always be counted on to provide those around him with a good time, great conversation, and of course, a glass of only the best wine!

He worked as a Senior Customer Success Manager at JRNI, Boston, Mass., and previously worked at Akeneo, Inc., Somerville, Mass. Jared loved his job and his coworkers, many whom he considered friends.

He had many interests and hobbies, but nothing captivated him more than his love for his family. He adored his wife and sweet babies and would spend every minute in their presence if he could.

He is deeply missed and lovingly remembered by the love of his life and wife of seven years, Ashley (Schaefer) Tardugno; a son, Luca James Tardugno and daughter, Vivian Lee Tardugno; his parents, Norman and Joanne Tardugno of Methuen, Mass.; a brother, Chad S. Tardugno of Manchester, N.H.; a sister and brother-in-law, Wendy L. and Thomas Richardson of Windham, N.H.; his nieces, Reilly and Madelyn; and several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and countless friends he considered family.

There will be no calling hours. A Celebration of Jared's Life will be Saturday, March 7, at Brookstone Park in Derry, N.H., at 1 p.m. Arrangements are under the direction of Brookside Chapel & Funeral Home, 116 Main St., Plaistow, NH.
