Jacob Miller was my workout guru. I last herd from him in October. I was in the hospital. Jacob was not only my work out trainer but also a friend. He will be missed more than I can say. He was I thought the most together guy I knew. I didn't find out about his death until
March 2925. I am in a state of shock I just can't believe it. He was such a good kind & caring person. I will miss working out with him & his friendship! Rest in peace Jacob! You will be missed!

I was a patient of Jacob's for rehabilitation for my back. Doctor wanted to do surgery. Jacob worked his magic and kept that from happening. He was such a nice, friendly, warm, and welcoming person. Even though I haven't seen him in a few years I thought of him often and talked about how good he was at neck and back massages (as part of his job, of course)! It saddens me deeply to think he is no longer on this earth to spread his beautiful smile, wonderful personality, and his genuine care for his patients. My deepest condolences go out to his family and friends. I know he will be missed.

Jacob was one of the most positive people I have ever worked with and so much fun. The older lady patients always thought he was so cute! I am so saddened that he is gone, he will be missed.
