Not sure what to say?

Dear Ed, Paula, Thomas, and family, I never met Jake in-person, but I worked with him remotely on the west coast during his days in Pennsylvania.

He reached out to me via e-mail. That's how we came to know each other.

I had not heard of his passing until recently. Even across the country, from my online interactions with him, he had immense impact in my life and what work we did together.

He was a brilliant and passionate individual, and today, I was thinking of him and his contributions. I was thinking today, what a great guy; I wonder what he's up to.

I will miss him, and I am sorry to hear this tragic news.

So very sorry to hear of Jake's passing, Paula and Ed. Jake was an amazing young man. He was hard-working and extremely talented. We are thankful that he and Geoff stayed in touch through the years. They had their own paths, but made sure to reach out and connect. Such a sad loss. Your family are in our prayers.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Jake was one of the kindest, most talented, smartest people I've ever met. I really think he was a genius. At PC, he was always happy to help me when I was struggling in science. And we weren't even in the same class/grade. I hadn't actually spoken to him since high school until this past Thanksgiving. We ended up being on the same flight from LA to Philly. Now looking back, I feel so blessed to have reconnected with him after all these years. We got to catch up and learn about each other's goals and dreams. I mean he was at PlayStation! I expected nothing less than extraordinary from him. After we landed and grabbed our luggage, he even offered to give me a ride once his sibling arrived. My mom was already coming, but that just shows how kind he always was, even when he didn't have to be. I will genuinely miss him. Beautiful soul.

Although I did not know Jake, I heard so many wondeful things about him through colleagues at The Meadowbrook School. As the current Head of Meadowbrook, I am offering prayers on behalf of the faculty and staff and extended community of his elementary school alma mater.
