I truly hope the stories continue to be shared and you find comfort in celebrating the memories.

Dear Fragie Family,

I met jack in 2nd grade, in Mr. Daughnerts class. We became friends instantly and I remember our first conversation, me being the small indian moy in class, and jack being almost twice as big as everyone else. I will never forget his sense of humor and his kind ways from second grade until graduation senior year at San Ramon. Jack, you will always be remembered, and I will always keep you alive in my memories.

Missing you dearly,

Sameer Misson

Dear Fragie family ~ Words are inadequate at a time like this. My memories of Jack are many. Each day he brought a smile to my face in English 11. Such a huge personality full of fun and vigor. I'll never forget the expression of surprise on his face when he knocked on my classroom door one Saturday only to discover I was actually there. The many expressions that would play across his face continually made me laugh. Such a terrible loss we all have with his passing. This is one of those times when even the English teacher has no words for the depth of this loss. Jack London was the one who spoke about having life go out as a brilliant blaze rather than decaying. Jack certainly lived life with enthusiasm.

I am so very sorry for your loss. When I first heard the news, I was hoping it wasn't true. But God has a plan, even if we don't understand it or like it. Jack was a wonderful person who was full of life, and no doubt he will be missed immensely.

My thoughts and Prayers are with you and yours.
