If Jacob was anything like Kelly, willing to help anyone at any time, I'm sure he is very busy building Heavenly Father's kingdom right now. Our condolences to your family at this difficult time.

Dear Joey and the Slade Family,
Although I didn't know Jacob, I had Joey as a student for three years at Stapley Jr. High and just wanted to tell you how sorry I am for this tragic loss. You are a wonderful family and I am glad you have each other at this time. Take care and God Bless.

It was an honor to know Jacob and to be able to associate with your family. I have many wonderful memories of Jake. He was always happy and energetic and lived life to its fullest. He was fun to be around and was kind to everyone. Jake taught me a lot too. He was always patient and gentle with his brothers and sisters. Being with Jake was always a good time! I love him and your family and will miss him tremendously. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Dear Slade family, I consider myself lucky that I was given the chance to have Jacob as my student. He was kind, considerate, and hard working. He brought a smile to my face everyday. He will always have a very special place in my heart. I am sorry for your loss and if there is anything I can do please let me know. Sarah Muller

Dear Darin,Kelly,& Family,
We had just gotten back from vacation to hear a very sad, and shocking message from a mutual friend of ours, telling us of the heartbreaking news. First of all, we are so sorry we weren't able to make it to the funeral. We also heard how amazing Kelly was, and how strong the spirit was as well. Remember, our Logan is Jacobs same age, and I can't even fathom what you all are going through. Just know that your friends are here for you. That if there is anything...

We have such fun and sweet memories of the Slade family as they have grown. Some people leave a mark and fill a place in our lives, regardless of the limits in time we have to spend together. The Slades have made such a mark and filled such a place in our lives. Jacob has made such a mark and filled such a place. We have watched him grow from an infant still in his hospital crib, to a toddler on the beach, a boy on a horse, and a fine young man.
What a marvelous and fragile thing this...
