On September 19 the owner of the Blue Water Inn, Dawn Talaski said Jarvis was back in the bar buying rounds of drinks but still hadn’t cashed in on his ticket.
When he walked out the bar that night that was the last time anyone saw him alive.

An autopsy was performed and was consistent with him hitting his head and drowning.
Jarvis had made plans to go to North Carolina to see his sister and dad.
The winning lottery ticket has been given to family.
Sad what happen to Jarvis, glad the winning ticket was given to his family.
