Jacob L. "Jake" Allen

Dear Allen family,
I wanted to write a note just to say that I'm so sorry. I went to school with Audra and I can't imagine what it would be like to lose a classmate let alone a sibling and family member. In honor of your son who I only knew briefly, I would like to say "thank you." My sister Dacia graduated with Jake and seeing the pain she feels from this brings tears to my eyes. But that pain is brought by the genuine friend in Jake that she has lost. She speaks higher of that boy...

DEAR ALLEN FAMILY,
I DID NOT KNOW YOUR SON JACOB. MY HEART AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOU AND ALL OF HIS FRIENDS THAT KNEW HIM. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT YOU ALL ARE GOING THROUGH. I WILL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR YOU. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!

I never knew Jake but wanted to express my sincere sadness at his loss. May you find some small measure of comfort knowing that others are holding you and your family and your beloved son in their hearts.

My Dear Family:
There are no sufficient words to ease your loss, sorrow and grief. I can only say, my heart goes out to you. We will never be able to rationalize an irrational act. I was deeply touched by Sandy Bruce's depictions of your Jake. The fact that he was always willing to help others.....that he befriended those younger than him (what a shining, life long example he gave them), and most importantly, that Jake had a very strong faith in God. I just know he made an impact on...

I didn't know your son, Jake, but what a blessing he must have been! I will continue to pray that God wraps you and those who loved your son in the comfort of His Loving Arms. Craig and Sharon Kay (Ast) Holsinger

I knew Jake when I worked at Argonia High School the 1996/97 school year. He was a fabulous young man and was always very warm, friendly, outgoing and would do anything to help someone out. I am in awe and shock that he is gone. Jake will be truly missed and he and his family have been in my prayers since I heard of this tragic event and will continue to be in my prayers. Jake is now with an awesome God!!!
Sincerely, Nancy & Shelby Goldston and Brianne Grimm

I didn't know jake very well, we played argonia in football at the bi-district level, and i met him once at the unit conference. he seemed very enthusiastic and friendly. I am very sorry for your loss.

I don't know your family, and I never met your Jake, but I am very sad for your loss. May God's grace be with you and may your beautiful memories stay vivid forever.
God's Peace be with you and all of Jake's family and friends.

Though your heart must hold deep saddness at the lost of the one you loved, may it also hold the blessings of the life you shared and the love that will always be a part of you. Praying that God will comfort your heart, uplift your spirits, and carry you through this time of saddness to a place of peace. (Jake's friend- David's Aunt)
