We used to hang out quite a bit then I moved. We were never really close but we were friends. Jacob... you were such a happy boy, you were funny, and always smiling. Even though we want your smiling face still down here with us, God wanted you. He needed another angel. But we can still see were you are every night. All we have to do is look at the stars. They are little peep holes into Heaven? Love you Jacob!

Stealth, Allen, Vahan, Glenda, Breeanna and the rest of the extended loving family. My deepest regrets to all of you. I pray for peace, comfort, understanding, forgiveness, strength and God's love for all of you. God always has a plan, and although we may not always agree with it, His plan is for a higher purpose. I know it is extremely difficult to understand now, but He has a plan and we must follow it. I love all of you just as God does too! Keep Christ in your heart and He will lead us to Heaven with Jacob.

Jacob, I'll never forget the day I met you. It was freshman year. I was a new student from Indianapolis,IN and I was very mean. I really didn't want to move plus I hated Arnold because it seemed like everyone was the same and way different than me. Then I got to my 4th period, Algebra I class. You was in there. The first thing I noticed about that class was your big, beautiful smile. It took me about a week to talk to anyone. That was when I went by Caitie. That's what you always called me. You would smile at me from everywhere in the room and I couldn't help but smile back. You was the only person that broke my mad face I carried around all day. You eventually came up and started talking to me. You broke the shell I was hiding inside and set me free. After that day, no matter what mood I was in, how mad or sad I was, how much I hated my life, you ALWAYS came up to me and made me SMILE. I remember crying my eyes out in class and we was taking a test, all you did was look at me, smile, wink, then laugh and you got me to stop crying and laugh. I never really told you (which I regret now!) but I told Dion Davis and a couple other friends I knew wouldn't tell, I had a biggg crush on you after a while. I also wish we was aas close this year as we was last year, we didn't get close again until I came back grom Indiana again around October. We started to get really close again around January. You was always there from me when I needed you. I'll miss the things you would say to me and the big beautiful smile that would always brighten me. I just wish I could have had one last conversation with you. I miss you Jacob. I miss everything about you. I'll never forget you. Ever. And what you've done for me. I know your watching over all of us. My heart, love, and prayers goes out to your family.
iloveyou Jacob ? foreverr .

Our hearts go out to you all at this time of great sorrow. He had the brightest smile I think I have ever seen in a young man. He always could make you laugh even when you were not happy. And that boy could eat some pop-tarts! I know he did at my house anyway!!! You will be missed by so many, an Angel in heaven watching over his family and friends...and probably playig practical jokes on you as well :)
