I miss you Jake, I think about you time to time and it hurts so bad bc I miss you and we were great friends. I remember when you first moved to Helena. We had such great times, and talks. We were both crazy which is why we made good friends. Always making each other laugh. And always had that secret crush on you even though it really wasn't a secret because you probably knew the whole time lol. I just miss you so much sometimes and it's hard to realize that your gone. Hits me hard. Thinking...

I moved to your neighborhood last year and got the email of the loss of your dear son, Jake. My heart aches for your pain, as we too, lost our 24 yr old son over a yr ago. May you find strength daily, lean on friends, seek some joy daily and smile with the precious memories and love shared with Jake. In my prayers for peace of heart and healing for all that knew Jake.

I've known Jake since he was 9 by going to his family's restaurant and me and my husband went once, twice, even 3 times a week at times. We became good friends when we learned that we both love motorcycles and we even rode together. Jake, like me, could talk about motorcycles for hours. I was devastated when I heard the tragic news. He will surely be missed and was one of the coolest kids I had the pleasure of knowing! Jake, you will be missed! I hope to see you again and my deepest...

I did not know Jake personally, but he was my daughter's age, and he was a friend to some of my daughter's friends. I noticed him first at Pablos.

I do think God calls some of us home to spare us from the pain and suffering on earth. Jake was is a precious child of both yours and God's.

Henry & Sue, We are so sorry to hear about Jake words can not express the sadness. You are in our thoughts and prayers!

Jake ... my boy, my brother, I still remember when we became friends, you were always crazy, you were a crazy 5 year old, you grew up and still were crazy.
