Pete and Beverly, we are still remember Jake and we're still so very sorry for all the pain in losing your precious son. We love Jake and know how deeply you will miss him. We have been praying for the Lord to hold you in His arms and comfort you during your grief. Jake is a wonderful, delightful young man, who we all enjoyed. In heaven he can train in martial arts with out getting tired or sore, because his heavenly body will not wear out. And the mats are softer than here...I can only...

i didn't hear of jakes passing until recently. ive had classes with him sense 7th grade,he was always nice to others and just a funny guy. i hate that i never gave him the time of day to get to know him better. but as far as i knew he was a caring kid who always had a good joke to tell. my heart grieves with the briggs family and friends at this time. love and peace to you all.

To the Briggs Family,
We were all deeply saddened to learn of Jake's passing. Kevin and I enjoyed watching him wrestle in AAU, as his passion for the sport was obvious. My son, Jacob, will miss him during wrestling season and my son, Caleb, will miss not seeing and talking to him at JiuJitsu. May faith in God and your precious memories of Jake sustain you and keep you.

I am so sorry to hear about Jake. He and my son Michael were in Taekwondo at SangRock for many years together. He was such a great young man and will be missed by many. Bless you and your family.
