It was always fun with you around, you made everyone laugh, you always had stories to tell and made our boring day into something worth talking about the next morning. During my time with you in the scout platoon, you taught me a lot, you were one of the guys that helped me open up. In the end we weren't that close but you are still my brother and losing you still made me shed tears. You will be missed. Rest easy brother

We are praying that the peace of God will surround you and keep you as you go through these next days, weeks, and months. We are so sorry for your loss.

Joseph and I were talking about one summer visit when he and Jake and Zach played together and went to the corner store and just had an all round great time together. Jake will be sorely missed.
