Jake Herring Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Apr. 2 to May 2, 2009.
The family of 19-year-old Jake Herring have paid tribute to their 'shining light' after the youngster's sudden death on Monday, March 30. Jake had recently moved out of his family home in Burnham and into his first flat in Slough. He was a dedicated, hard-working teenager who was enjoying an apprentiship as a trainee design engineer with high hopes of progressing to a CAD technician's role. The football fan, who used to play for Burnham FC, has been described by family as a model son, brother and boyfriend.

Dear Steve,Rhonda & family
I only met Jake a handful of times, but each time he was a very pleasent and polite young lad. The grief you are feeling now is like no other grief you will feel again, the pain will heal and the memories will live on. God bless you Jake, all our love Sue, Nigel, Michael & Adam

To all

On behalf of all Jake’s close family, I’d just like to thank everyone for all their continued support, visits, phone calls, texts, flowers, cards, and tributes on this web site (and facebook).

Special thanks to everyone who came along to Jake’s funeral and to the gathering afterwards to pay their last respects.

As funerals go, the feedback I’m getting is that it was up there with the best. That was not only due to the content in the service but largely due to the hundreds that came along to help us celebrate Jake’s life and share some of their memories of time spent with him.

Thanks again

Sleep peacefully Big Guy, – Dad xx

Jake – “Our Shining Light”

Jake our amazing son – what can we tell?
Wonderful brother to Jedd, Kerri, Nell
Not forgetting Josh, Chloe and Zak
We can't believe you're not coming back.

For the past 19 years we watched as you grew
From our beautiful boy, into the man that was You.
We shared in your laughter, your tears and your pain
Cheered on at your football, come wind, sun or rain.

You worked so hard and were so very bright
Giving your best to everyone - our “Shining Light”.
You had the drive to succeed and always did well
Shared great times with Cameron and won the heart of gorgeous Chanelle.

Our memories of you leave us so very proud
Bright, polite, caring, You stood out from the crowd.
If we could wish for one thing more
We’d tell you how much you’re truly adored
We would talk of your holidays, near and afar,
Go to the gym, play football, see you wash your car.

We'll remember your smile on that handsome face
Your pride in your appearance, not a hair out of place!
We cherished seeing you, all suited in white
You looked like an angel, on your Prom Night.

The laughs we shared to name but a few
Kenny, Patrick, Barkwood - that was SO Jedd and You.
Tickling and teasing, you enjoyed a good joke
What great fun - you were a top bloke.

In saying goodbye as we part
We love you Jake, from the bottom of our heart.
Without you we will never be the same
We will miss you for a lifetime, until we meet again.
x x x x

Jake was one of the sweetest people I ever knew, he was kind and friendly and always knew how to cheer people up. I never saw him without a smile on his face! Working with Jake for two years at the Ticket Office was an absolute privilege and I will keep those memories safe forever. I will never ever forget him and all the good times, like the time we had to file 18,000 season ticket applications into cardboard boxes in alphabetical order, we always did get the best jobs!

My thoughts are with Jake's family and everybody who was lucky enough to know him.

Rest in peace Jake! Will remember you forever!!

To all of Jakes family, I am so very sorry for your tragic loss, i had the pleasure of meeting jake a few times, when he was around 12/13. i remember her stayed at shoni's one new years eve, and we all had a right laugh, he was such a little joker even then, he had us on some right wind ups that night, unfortunately i did not have the pleasure of knowing him as he got older, but i am sure he was a lovely young man, and he will be missed. my love to u all at this very hard time.
