We will miss seeing Jacob, he was kind to us; he would always wave to us from across the street, and would say hello. We are now fans of his music, and just listened to, "Non-essential Johnny" yesterday. Such excellent punk rock and clever, thoughtful lyrics. Peace to you Jacob.

Jacob was a friend in high school and we shared a lot of great times. I'll always remember him as one of the funniest people I knew, and I'll always value my memories with him, especially all of the times he made me laugh.

Jacob was a close friend during our time at Academy and was one of the funniest guys I've ever met. May he rest in peace and forever keep laughing in the afterlife
