Two Bros Reenact Weekend at Bernies with Friend

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.

This is exactly what I want my friends to do when I go down. Throw a Jimmy Buffet shirt and some dark Ray Bans on me and parade me around barhopping with you. I want to be propped up at my favorite watering hole for one last night on the town. Guarantee that's what these guys were doing for their friend, too. Guy probably was a huge Weekend at Bernies fan and was tring to swack Bernie's back to life game. I really hope these guys busted out a conga line with him, too. That's the ultimate sign of friendship right there. Because if there's one thing I know, it's that there is nothing more fun than one last night of bar hopping with your boys after you kick the bucket.
