he was my dad I don’t remember much because he passed away when I was 3 but the only thing I do remember was driving to the gas station always in the front seat to get chocolate milk and going to Chuck E. Cheese

My buddy, gone, I loved him so. I don't know why he had to go. I take him with me everyday at home, at work, at play, I miss him so. I know he knows I'll be with him again someday we will hunt and fish and try it again, who knows? You know buddy. See you then.

I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear
Every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And i need you to know
I miss you
Sha la la laaaa
I miss you

Run Free With The Angels
Go and run free with the angels.
Dance around with the golden clouds
For the Lord has chosen you
to be with Him And we should feel nothing but proud. Even though He has taken you from us
And our pain a lifetime will last.
Your memory will never escape us, but make us glad for the time we did have. Your smiles will be ever hidden deep inside our hearts, and each moment you gave us never will depart. So go and run free with the angels as they smile so tenderly, and please be sure to tell them to take care of you for us.
Love,
mamma J

Tomorrow will be one year. And i have to say this has been the hardest year i have had to get through. Its weird going to Castle Shannon and knowing that he is not there. I miss him sooo much. I have been having dreams about him lately. I wake up the next morning in the best mood because it felt like i was really there with him. Sometimes it feels like hes not really gone. And then it hits me every once in a while. And its too hard to talk about it because thats when i start crying. I don't want to cry about him anymore. I want to remember my Jeramiah in a good way. A few tears now and then is ok, but Jake didn't like it when i cried. So in memory of him, i'll listen. I love him and miss him terribly. I hope one day i can meet with him once again. I love you Jake. I'll pray about you.
love, Libe

I hate to say "was" in everything i say about him, its just hard not to say it. I still like to think that he is still here with us but sadly he is not.In 3 more days it'll be a year.It's been a long year without him here its been a rough one.I miss him still very much to this day.I miss EVERYTHING.So many times I needed my big brother and he wasnt there.I still cry from time to time when i see his picture and when i go up to see him and when his favorite t.v. shows are one especially the ones we watched together.We still have Sadie and she's what makes him alive.She acts just like him. I can not wait till she gets older so I can tell he how great her daddy really was and all funny stories about him.I miss him every single day that he is not here but I know that one day I will see him again.I love you jake and i very much miss you.Your little sister Steph.

I miss you so much. It's already almost a year. This seems so unreal. Like im hoping one day I will wake up and find out that this is all just a dream, a horrible nightmare. I am so honored that I met such a wonderful guy like you. You were like my big brother. You always called me, and came to visit me almost anytime I asked. I remember when we use to team up on Lori together and tease her. Me, you, and Emily. Those were the good old days. Now the more I watch Cede grow up the more I see you in her. She is a daddys girl and that is for sure. If I only I could see you one last time. To tell you and show you how much we all loved and cared about you. I will NEVER forget you bro. I'll always miss you, and I'll always love you very much. Watch over the girls. R.I.P Bud

Jake was a great guy. A few days ago i went up to see him. It was the hardest thing that i have ever done. Its like hes not even really gone. He was the kind of guy that would just walk through your door without even knocking, that would call at 2 o'clock in the morning and expect you to be up, and the greatest thing is when he would leave the bathroom door open and not care if anyone walked past. He was a fun, loving, and caring guy and i miss him darely. my love and support goes out to his family.

Jake is my brother and i miss him so much everyday. Everyday that goes by not hearing his voice and looking into his eyes and hearing his crazy laugh makes my heart break into a million pieces. I keep waiting to get his phone call but everytime my phone rings sadly it's not him. When Im low I go and vistit him and talk to him and hangout and just by going there it helps me in someway.I love him and miss him so much everyday that it hurts but I go on. Everytime I look into his daughters eyes I see him and she is what makes him alive and still here with us. I love and miss him.He is my big brother forever and always.

Jake was the most unique person you could ever meet. Jake was loving father, a best friend and a great person to share any kind of conversation imaginable with. I will never forget all of the memories that we made together. I am so grateful that I was able to share so much time with him. Whether it was just hanging out and having some fun, or leaning on his shoulder, when I needed him the most, Jake was my rock. I feel deeply for those of whom Jake was closest with, for they have had a great loss. Though we all must keep our hopes up, until we get to meet up with him again. Jake I love you and miss you. God Bless You, we will meet again. Love Michele

I loved him to death. I would do anything to get him back. I don't really think he his gone because every night I talk to him before i go to bed. I tell him what went on in my day then i snuggle up with his homer simpson pillow and think he is still here. I miss him and if i only had 1 sentence to say to him if I could talk to him again would be I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Jake was my cousin and he was a one of a kind guy that would do anything for his sisters, who he loved very much. I remember one time I wrecked my bike on the street in front of his house and had road rash going down my entire leg, and even though Jake and I were calling each other names only moments before, he picked me up, crying and bleeding and carried me to his house to get cleaned up. Not without calling me a big wimp though! I wish we would have had more time to know each other as adults a little better. He was a great father and loving brother. He was the kind of guy that made you find your strength. We will certainly miss him.

To the entire Cushey family,
I would like to send out my deepest sympaties to all of you! Jake was a very fun-loving, caring, and giving person! I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Jake and develope a friendship that was more like being brothers! I will always cherish the memories that he has given me over the past 8 years. Please accept my thoughts and prayers during this time of grief, and know that the friendship that I had with Jake was more than just being my niece's dad. He was an amazing father, a great guy and a very dear friend, whose memories will forever remain in my heart! They say that "friends come a dime a dozen", well I was lucky enough to have Jake as one of those! I will miss you man, and won't forget our time, thanks for being you and for giving us your beautiful little girl! Be at peace with God and watch over your little girl as she grows and know that she will always know what a wonderful father she was blessed with! Rest in peace, bro!

jake's family,
i give my heart out to all of you. you are all in my prayers. jake was a close friend of mine, i basically considered him a brother. he was so fun loving and such a wonderful father. no matter how many arguments i got in with him, he always had a way to make me forgive him. i will miss him soo much. now when i look at mercedes all i see in her is jake. the way she talks, the little looks, and how much fun she is to be around. all that comes from her wonderful and loving father. i will never forget the times i spent with jake. he has a special place in my heart, just like he does in everyone elses. if you need to talk or need any help with anything you just give me a call. i love you all, and my heart goes out to all of you. may jake R.I.P.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Jake was my cousin. Everytime I seen him he would always make me smile. It seemed like every room he walked in he made the room just a little bit brighter. Whenever I would see jake he would be constantly telling me stories of when he was younger and how much fun he had up on the farm. In my heart he will always be remembered. Hes just one of those people you cant ever forget. I can't say that I'll miss him, because him and my uncle Jerry are around our family everywhere we are.
