Jarvis entered this world a vibrant and energetic person with a contiguous
smile. He walked at six months old, just leaped from his knees and started
running, but never too far, he always came running right back, earning him
his nickname “Boomerang”. Growing up he loved to fish with his
grandfather, Daniel ‘DA’ Green, who preceded him in death and sing with
his auntie and grandma. As a child he wanted to try every sport but didn’t
have the patience to learn them. He loved pranking his mom and sharing
crazy, daring videos with the world.

Greater Fellowship Baptist Church under the leadership of his Godfather,
Pastor Robert M. Franklin, Jr.

responsibilities onboard the USS Green Bay (LPD 20). There his new friends
became family away from family. He participated in group activities such as
