He was an inspiration to many. I love what Bill Gaither said about him. Gaither stated; many times you meet people in gospel music, and get to know them well. They will, sometimes, disappoint your expectations. But, Jake Hess is the real deal. Amen Bill.

To this day I still listen to Jake's wonderful music. Often singing his words. See you one day in Heaven.

I Love to hear Jake Hess Sing. When He died in 2004 I was unable to attend his Funeral. He seemed to be such an sincere and Humble Man. I long to meet him in Heaven Some Sweet day and hear Jake's anointed voice singing lead in the Heavenly Choir.

Being from Haleyville, Alabama originally, I feel like I have lost a dear friend. Jake used to work with my dad in Haleyville. So sorry to hear of his passing. Me and my family will always remember him. My sympathy to all of the family. Sincerely, Barbara Cowart Bush.

I was saddened to hear of Jake's death. He was a friend of the Wilson family going back to his days singing with the Statesmen.We will hear him sing again in heaven one day.
