Jared Morgan Sands

Jared Morgan Sands, 42, of Sanford, passed away on Saturday, May 10, 2025.

Born in Portland on May 9, 1983, Jared grew up in Biddeford, Maine, where he spent his formative years discovering a passion for creativity, music, and the world around him.

Jared attended Kennebunk Christian Academy, Greater Portland Christian Academy, and later  Biddeford High School. A hard-working and determined man, he held a variety of jobs throughout his life, never shying away from getting his hands dirty and always taking pride in a job well done. His talent as a carpenter reflected both his artistic spirit and the care he put into everything he did.

A true free spirit and environmentalist, Jared lived his life on his own terms. He traveled widely, embracing adventure and connection wherever he went. As a proud Juggalo and devoted fan of the Insane Clown Posse, Jared found joy and community in music. He was also a lover of anime, an expression of his rich inner world and artistic soul.

Jared was a man of deep intelligence and many talents. He was kind, thoughtful, and deeply devoted to those he loved.  His compassion extended to animals as well, and he shared a special bond with his beloved cat, Fennirir.

He will be remembered for his wit, his warmth, and his fiercely loving heart. Jared’s presence in the lives of his family and friends was a gift that will be cherished always.

He was predeceased by his grandparents, Rebecca and David E. Sands, and his great-grandmother, Frances Eastman.

Jared is survived by his wife, Jessica Colbert; his son, Bastian Sands; his parents, Catherine and Marcel Langevin of Sanford; and the mother of his son, Leeanna Goodall of Weare, New Hampshire. He also leaves behind five siblings, Sheri Dickinson and her husband John of Bangor, Jenn Kovar of Pearl, MS, Scottie Huston and his wife Ami of Beals Island, ME, Greg Huston and his wife Briana of China, ME and Brittney Howell and her husband Ryan of Thorndike, ME; many nieces and nephews; his aunts and uncles, Lori and Greg Maxwell of Kennebunk, David and Lisa Sands of Scarborough, and Peggy and Jeff Macdonald of Lyman; and his cousins, Parker Sands, Stephanie Plamondon, Carlos Macdonald, Josh Maxwell, and Sara Thayer.
