Raymond, Geri Lynn, Jeremiah and Jordan.....what a devastating loss for your family. Time and distance separate us, but not the love or caring we have for you. In reading the condolences here, the loss is ours in not having known your Jacob for the amazing young man who lit up a room, brought joy and laughter and lived life with curiosity. Saying "I'm sorry" seems far too small. But I am. Forever.

Jeri and Ray, Jeremiah and Jordan,
My heart breaks for your family. Jacob was a kind young man, even when I had him in high school as a sophomore. His knock-out smile and warm personality brightened everyone's day. Please know that Jacob and your entire family are in my prayers.

I am very sorry for your loss of such a rare gem of a young man. Please know how much he touched the lives of so many in such positive ways. Our deepest condolences, Louise Kowitch and Mac Campbell

Many years of soccer games, yelling on the sidelines for the team and the wonderful camaraderie with the boys and the families. Jacob was always happy and kind to all. As Cory said when he heard of Jacob's passing-"He was such a good person." Our family is so saddened by this news and we love you and hope that you can find peace. He touched us all.
