DENVER (CBS4) – Two men are facing charges in a crime that has family members shocked.

They are accused of putting their deceased friend into a car and then heading out for a night of bar hopping.

Jeffrey Jarrett died last month. The cause of Jarrett’s death is still being investigated.

Jarrett’s family is appalled by what happened. Two of his friends, Robert Young and Mark Rubinson, allegedly loaded his body into a car, hit a bar in Denver then another one in Aurora, before finally taking Jarrett, 43, home.

Rubinson, 25, and Young, 43, then ended their night at Shotgun Willie’s in Glendale, but without Jarrett. They then allegedly took $400 out of Jarrett’s account.

A member of Jarrett’s family, who didn’t want to be identified, said he was a loving father, graduate of Colorado State University and hockey player. She is devastated by the actions of Rubinson and Young.

“Taking a deceased person in a car, I mean, it just seems totally wrong,” said Jarrett’s family member.

Rubinson and Young face charges of abusing a corpse, identity theft and criminal impersonation. A relative said Young was living with Jarrett and came home on Aug. 27 to find him dead, but didn’t call for help. 2 Men Accused Of Taking Dead Friend Out For Night On The Town

“I’m horrified, I’m absolutely, I can’t even put in to words, I can’t imagine anybody thinking that maybe their friend is in trouble and not calling 911,” said Jarrett’s family member.

Family members still don’t know what caused Jarrett’s death but they say the circumstances surrounding it are still hard to believe.

“It’s terrible, it’s just something that we’re really having trouble coming to terms with,” said Jarrett’s family member.

Since he was dead I presume laying around was all he could do. Maybe they just used him for extra furniture.

Recently heard about this dance being done at football games around the South. Just an FYI if you see it.

According to the news, he did more than that. He paid for all of their partying since they were using his debit card.

Taking your dead friend out to party...cool.
Using his ATM card to pay for it...not cool.

As long as they didn’t take him out to vote, I don’t have a problem with it.

A good dance if you feel like your clothes don't make you look stupid enough.

At least they can't be charged with neglect which seems to be what the family did.

Seems like an old joke with the punchline from the bartender: “He pulled a knife on me so I had to smack him.”
