Jake, you were such a great brother. You always looked out for me even though you were my little brother, and you were always willing to help me out. "I remember asking you to change my oil and you said you were about to leave, but you would do it anyways. Then you were like wait Crystal you dont even have a car, and we just laughed.

It is with a heavy heart that I write this for you, Jake. Life has thrown some curveballs at me, but this one just makes me want to give up. Knowing you are in a better place is what enables me to stay strong. You were a good person and tried to do all the right things with your life.

I remember when we were younger and all of us were together everyday. I cut my hair like you and you wore my shoes down the street . You always got along with everyone we always played some wierd game that Gary would makee up and sometimes if we were lucky Gary would make us his homemade pizza afterwords. A lot of people miss you and love you and always will. I would give anything for you to come back.

May angels from heaven shine down on your family in this time of need.My prayers are with you and Jake. God bless you now and always

God bless jake and family, parents and family of jakes friend, tony
