Jacob Christensen

This is Raymi, probably the last or one of the last Jacob´s roommates. Have you guys ever thought of the times that you´ve said something mean to someone or simply something you didn´t mean to say only because you were mad at something that had previously happened? Crazy to think that with all that was going through Jacob´s mind, he never did that to me. I can´t think of a single time he approached me with rudeness nor anything similar. Though mental conditions are noticeable and they tend to take control over people´s actions, whatever Jacob had never ended up overcoming the niceness of his heart. Truly a nice guy with nothing but the best intentions to be a better person.
Jacob, we know you´re resting from the torments of this temporal world, and now enjoying the peace of a temporal after-life until we all get to receive the kingdom we earned, I hope to see you then.

Jacob was fun loving and kind hearted. My son Wesley went to his birthday party where he ate a goblet filled with tofu. Funny the things you remember.

I had the privilege of knowing Jacob in his earlier years. His antics were always meant to bring a smile to others' faces, and he did his best to make everyone around him laugh.

Every time I visited the Christensen's home, Jacob would have a witty comment that would brighten everyone up. Working with Jacob as a youth leader, I remember him consistently reminding us that his favorite place was Wendy's and that the best activity we could possibly plan would be to visit there for hamburgers. He would frequently remind us that although his parents were vegetarian, he most definitely was not.

I hope he has finally found peace, and can return to his previously happy self, perpetually looking for ways to make others laugh.

Loved getting to know Jacob when he was in my seminary class. Much love to him, and prayers for your family.

We're so sorry for your loss. Jacob and RJ had a special bond and he will be remembered fondly in our family. Sending love and prayers to your family. We truly believe Jacob is out of pain and in the loving arms of our Savior.

What a truly terrible loss. I am so very sorry. Sending love and comfort to you and yours, Mary Elizabeth and William.

Hi this is Robert speaking in the microphone and is typing me this message for me I know how you feel I pray for you guys and Jesus loves everybody and Jacob is like Jesus

William and Mary Elizabeth - Sean and Shannon in Ames adore you, are heartbroken with you, and will continue to pray for your peace

I´ve been privileged to know the Christensen family since I was about 9 years old. I went to their house often to play with my best friend Beth. I saw Jacob a lot during those days, and he was always hilarious. I remember him joining us in playing Rock Band, and he was so good at that game. Beth was always telling stories of something funny Jacob said or did and they made me laugh too. As Beth and I became teenagers, Jacob grew so tall and big that to me, it seemed like he went from being a little boy to a man overnight. I often saw him playing with his younger brothers. He was truly a delight in the Christensen family, and I know he is loved because the Christensens are some of the most loving, Christlike people I know.

Unfortunately I did not have the good pleasure of meeting this kind and talented young man but I am saddened by his passing. The world truly needs more hope and humor as we all face our uniquely personal trials. Please accept my condolences William, Mary Elizabeth and family.

Though I didn´t know Jacob as well as some of the other members of his family, I loved being a part of his humor and wit through the Christensen Family Christmas card and the stories shared by his family. I know that he is a beloved son, brother, and friend, and will be missed tremendously. I hope that you find some measure of comfort in the deep love that surrounds your family and in the many memories that celebrate Jacob´s life.
