Jacob P. McKechnie

I was reminded today of a debate Jake and I had in high school, ironically, about a bible passage and decided to look him up. I´m devastated that I missed his passing. My deepest sympathies to his family. It´s been over 30 years since that debate and yet I think of him as if it were yesterday. He will be remembered fondly.

A year has passed since Jake left his family and friends. His memory lives on with all the individuals who loved and respected the special person he was.

I have been remembering Jake as th season comes to a close and as I send my daughter off to school. I remember the anticipation of seeing old friends after a long summer. Jake was definitely one of those people. I only hope my child will have some one to laugh with like that. Jake will always be thought of as my friend. His death is a great loss to everyone he touched.

I think of Jacob often, especially as we started our second year of classes this week. I know he is with me on this journey through Divinity school. It gives me comfort to read his Bible. Know that he is remembered by many of his fellow classmates.

To the Mckechnie family, I am sorry for your loss. This is huge loss for alot of us, he was a fantastic gentleman. He has a heart of gold. I just found out about his passing just a short time ago and he has been in my thoughts since. I will never forget the memories I have from spending time together from very early in our life. He was always a great friend to me and always will be!

I am very sorry to hear of Jacob's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

My prayers are with you for the loss of a great person that Jake was. God Bless.

I was so sorry to hear about Jake's passing. I'm out of town right now so regrettably I was unable to attend the services. But I have been thinking about him this week as different memories pop in and out of my head. From the time we dug through our pockets to find enough change to buy a plate of potato puffs at Butler Elementary School (in the process hitting up Mr. Goog for a quarter so we'd have enough money) to Jake showing me how to mosh in high school. There are so many memories in...

I have so many happy memories of Jake, we were such good friends in High school, even though he was 2 years younger than i was we connected on so many levels, I will never know anyone else like him, he had such a wonderful and unique personality, he was and old soul. I will always have a smile on my face when i think of him. My deepest sympathy goes out to you,Karyll, Aaron and Keith.
