Jake was such a special person and always made everyone around him smile. His laughter and happiness were contagious. He was an amazing person, friend and father. He is missed and will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, Jake. You made the world a better place.

We were so saddened to hear of Tim's sudden death. Although we have not seen him in years, he was always a special member of the Northern Wrestling Family. We looked forward to catching up with Tim next month at the banquet where he and two of our sons are to be inducted into the Northern Wrestling Hall of Fame. We have so many happy wrestling memories from the 1980's in the gym, Sectionals, Districts and States. You could not have found a more proud set of parents as Hazel and Bill Jacobs. To his family we send our sympathy and pray that you find comfort in the many happy memories of Tim's life.

I met Jake many years ago through my brother Craig and was immediately drawn to him. He taught me how to hacky sack and always threw in a couple of good wrestling moves. Whenever I would run into Jake out in about he always took the time to ask how everything was going, that's the kind of guy he was. I send my deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Sometimes he would just come in and need to talk, and not just for a short time but a long time. We would laugh and say OK Jake its time now for work. He was a guy you could depend on and do anything type of work we asked of him. May God bless his dear little girl and our prayers are with the family.

I have known Tim for 8 years and he was a true friend to me. He was always there to lend an ear or to help whenever I needed it. Tim was the greatest and I will miss him. I have been told that there is a time for everything, and this was Tim's time. God knows what he is doing and he must have needed Tim in heaven to be one of his angels. Just remember, Becky, that Tim is watching over both you and Emma.
