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)

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.

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.
