I met Jaycob and his mother, Christina last year in court. I was shocked to hear about his unexpected and untimely passing. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family asking God to give you all (especially you, Christina) the strength, endurance and peace as you struggle with the tragic loss of your son. May he rest in peace. God bless you all.

Jacob was an amazing person and an amazing freind that I will never forget knowing. I knew him since beginning of middle school and hanging out with him everyday and playing basketball with him as teamates which was one of his favorite things to do. I'll never forget that. From my family to yours we give our deepest sympathy we will all miss him. Rest in Paradise Jaycob Alba.
