Jacob Kester

I've known you since you were just a boy........ you grew up to be a fine young man. I will never forget that small boy sitting on my roof watching shooting stars with Jeff....... then going off to college so far away....... from now on when I'm star gazing and see a shooting star I will think of you...... we will always miss you Jake.........

Bridget , I am SO SORRY for your unimaginable loss......thoughts & prayers are sent for you, Zoey & family .

Lost but never forgotten. It's been years since I've seen you. Think it was 8th grade at illini central. Back then we hung out everyday. You will be missed man. I'm so sorry to your family. To your friends.

Julie I am so sorry for your loss! I will be praying for you and Tabby during this difficult time.

I worked with Jake at Peoria Public Schools. He was an amazing school bus technician and cared for the safety of the students that rode the school buses he maintained. Jake always had a smile on his face and was always willing to help out anyway he could. You will be missed, Jake. I am blessed to have had the opportunity to know you.

I am so sorry Tabi and your mom. I remember when you lived in the apartments by the car wash and you had your 10th bday party and you and your brother had bunk beds. Even though I did not know him personally I so so sorry for your loss and you just losing your father a fews ago. I can not imagine the sadness you are going through. Sending much needed hugs to u and your family.

Tabitha, Rich and I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family, you are in our thoughts and prayers

Always a smile on his face and willing to help. Love and prayers for strength to Tabitha, Bridget, Zooey, Julie,and the rest of the family.
