John "Jake" Thornton

My heart goes out to all of you! The entire Thorton family has always held a special place in my heart, especially the kids. We spent so many days together when they were young and they were such a big part of my life. It warms my heart to see that they have grown to be such amazing young adults.

Jake, I loved you with all my heart and was always thrilled to be your father, mentor, and friend. With your cooperation, your mother and I considered you a successfully completed project.

Friends of Jake, feel free to email or call me to share memories of Jake.
