Not sure what to say?

A tu mon frere....Je t'aime.

Diane and family,
I recently was made aware of Jakes passing. I have fond memories of Jake shooting around on Lake Charlevoix. Always a smile. He had a genuine zest for life which was a gift he shared freely with others. I know he is in a better place looking down with the same great smile.

Preston, Diane and children- I do know this will be a tough Christmas for you. But I know that Jake is celebrating his FIRST CHristmas in heaven- and what a celebration that will be! What a vibrant, caring, loving young man! He is missed! Mrs. J (Jake's second grade teacher CSC)

our Beautiful boy,man !

Love

Yo Jake, I miss you so much, but I know you're with our heavenly Father in His kingdom, because He lives you live, (John 14:19)
Good night sweet prince, much love mom

First shock, then denial, then slowly acceptance. Jake was a bright and healthy young man when he left us so suddenly. Little did we know that his attempts at underwater swimming would lead to a vagal maneuver which took Jake away from us. The world is dimmer because his brilliance is missing from our lives.
I am so sorry for your loss.

Fellow classmate:

You will meet with others from our class that passed, you will laugh and share good times. family and friends, i wish you the best.

From the Charlevoix Graduating class: WE WILL MISS YOU!!!

My heart aches for your family. In my thoughts and prayers.

Pres, Diane... cannot begin to come up with the words to bring some light into your hearts at this time, but I know, as your son, he loved life and lived it with joy and passion up until the moment of his death and that he was loved and knew it.
