Dear Holt Family - Whenever I look back on the wonderful memories and friends made in high school, Jake will always be the "brother" I had during those years. We were so close, but as it tends to happen, graduation occurred and we drifted apart. But I never forgot, nor ever will the countless great times we had together, the late night phone calls discussing life and all its ups and downs, and how I and everyone who knew Jake felt they had a true friend in him. We will all honor his memory during our class reunion and will hold you in our thoughts and prayers always.

Jake Holt! What incredible memories I have with him learning how to be a young man. We played football together, endlessly. We lifted weights, worked together and played together. We did everything together that can be done as young men. He was an incredible friend and always will be. Jake, the memories are truly endless. Can't wait to see you again! You will be missed, my friend.

It is with deep sadness that I hear of my cousin's passing. I have fond memories of Jake and his brothers as boys, every one of them a distinctly different personality that brought life to our every holiday and many days in between. Life was a long, hard struggle for Jake, and there's comfort in knowing that the struggle is over, and in having talked to him about our eternal destiny in some of his clearer moments in the past. May the grace and peace of Jesus Christ be with him and his parents in this time. Sending my love to my wonderful Aunt J and Uncle Tommy, and always to my cousin Jake,

July 5, 2014

Tommy & Jackie- I am so sorry. I know you loved him very much. I enjoyed the time I spent with him & your family. I still love you very much.
