So saddened to hear of your loss. My thoughts & prayers are with you.

I NEVER PERSONALLY HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING JAKE BUT HE WAS A GOOD FRIEND OF MY LITTLE SISTER KAITLIN AND I ONLY HEARD THE NICEST OF THINGS ABOUT HIM. I JUST WANTED TO SEND THE ELZINGA FAMILY MY DEEPEST OF SYMPATHY DURING YOUR TIME OF PAIN. JUST KNOW THAT HE IS IN A BETTER PLACE AND NOW YOU HAVE AN ANGEL TO WATCH OVER YOU ALWAYS.

Dear Elzinga Family,
I go to Northern and competed against Jake in forensics last year. He was amazing and so talented and was someone I really wanted to model my acting after. He showed all Forensic participants how to perform and made me really appreciate the forensics program. He was so kind and would talk to me during the rounds trying to make me feel less nervous. He will be greatly missed.

To the Elzinga family,

We are so deeply sorry for the loss of Jake. A brilliant life ending too soon. May you and your entire family find comfort and healing in his memories and hold his love deep in your heart. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Jennifer, Nik, and Noah Bieghler

Dear Mark and Tami, Jake and Doris

My only memories of Jake are from when he was a little boy and what a little man he was by the age of about two:) What sticks out in my mind is how proud Mark and Jake were to have a son/grandson that they could bring around to the greenhouses and market.
There are no words to express the loss of a child....none! My
family's heart goes out to you all and you have our deepest sympathies and prayers during this most difficult of...
