Jacob Gale Jorgensen

I met Jake only once through my sister,Emily Allred.I also grew up with Julie Edmunds,and have great respect for her.The one time I had the honor of speaking with Jake left a lasting impression on me.He was an extraordinary young man,and I was very impressed by his love for his wife and boys. My heart is broken for Julie,her boys,and Jacobs' family.

Dear Jorgensen Family,

I am deeply saddened by the news this tragic event. I can only imagine the sorrow each of you has gone through. I apologize for not being able to attended Jacob's funeral.

Jacob has long been one of my heroes. After returning from my mission, Jacob and I served as deacons' quorum advisors together. I will always remember the powerful lessons he taught the young men in the Castle Dale 1st Ward. He boldly let each class member know that he...

Dear Mary,

I am so sorry. I will send my flower money to Zions Bank.

Love you all.

Growing up, I always had a great deal of respect for Jacob. Some may remember that he suffered a terrible accident on the farm prior to kindergarten. Despite the injuries to his legs, Jacob persevered and ultimately became one of the fastest runners in our grade school class.

Jacob was fun to be around. You could always count on hearing stories of either the farm or his work on engines. I remember so vividly one day in seminary in high school when I saw his grease stained hands...

Jacob and I were friends in elementary. He was always having fun and was always happy. That is the way I remember him and will always remember him.

My condolances to his family.
We will remember him well.

My Dear Mary Ann,
I am so sorry to hear about Jacob. He is indeed about his Father's work and no doubt watching over his little family. I am happy to know what a wonderful and loving Grandmother those little ones have to help them now and in the coming years. May you always be blessed with the sweet comfort that comes so lovingly from our Heavenly Father.
Love always, Phyllis Sue

I don't know Jacob personally, but I know two of his sisters well. Liesl and Luci have both worked for me at the BYU Bookstore. I have heard many family stories over the years and know of the great love this family has. My heart goes out to you at this time. I pray for the comforter to surround you and to carry you through this.

As we grow older we can expect to have some of us leave this lfe to continue our eternal journey. But to have some one as young and needed here as Jacob is tragic. Catherine and I am so sorry. We leave our prayers and love to you all. Lynn and Catherine.
