Jasper Pieter van der Meulen
Our dear son, brother, nephew, cousin and grandson Jasper Pieter van der Meulen passed away on Jan. 28, 2021 at the too young age of 19.
Jasper carried a bright light of energy and love within him that touched our lives and many others in the Santa Barbara/Goleta community where he was born and raised. Jasper will be greatly missed by many friends and former classmates from over the years, including those from Hollister School, Santa Barbara Charter School, Goleta Valley Junior High, and Dos Pueblos High School.
While at Goleta Valley Junior High, Jasper competed on the cross-country team and received the award for Best Jazz Musician at eighth-grade graduation for his many passionate performances on his trombone.
