Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to learn of the untimely death of Jake Stein-Ross. I've never met Jake but know of him through his mom, Deborah, as we shared snippets of our children's lives over the ten years that we shared time together in a book group. Such a beautiful tribute to this kind, sensitive young man. May you delight in his memory as he continues to feed you through his orzo salad recipe. Deborah and family, I am so sorry for your loss.

just finding out about Jake. He was so brilliant and kind, so sad to hear of his passing https://youtu.be/f9X1C7pTu-M?si=Ap6Hgs5AXlA9M69g

My heart breaks for Jake´s family and friends. To lose is child is an unspeakable tragedy. I did not meet Jake but have known his mother, Deborah, for over 50 years and have heard that he was a brilliant, funny, sensitive and compassionate, young man. I send love and support and peace and healing to all who knew him. May his memory be a blessing, Simone and Family

I am heartbroken and sending so much love to the Stein-Ross family. Jake and I were friends in middle school and drifted apart in High School, though we were both in band and I remember him very fondly. Jake was extremely intelligent and sharp witted. A long standing memory for the Franke family is his performance as President Lincoln in the 4th grade play at Laurelhurst. Jake's passing is felt deeply here in Alaska. <3

I´m heartbroken and only have the fondest memories of Jake - unfortunately I only knew him earlier on in life. He was my best friend´s brother at the time so was around him often and he was a part of the sleepovers I had with Claire. I even babysat Jake at least once and if I remember correctly my older sister did too. He was rambunctious, fun, passionate & cute as can be. Me and Claire played a game with him called burrito boy where we wrapped him up in a blanket. I can hear his joyful...

Too many to recite here. Shared meals, conversations, and debates. I feel lucky I got to know him.
