Jake was an amazing young man. Always kind, considerate and caring. When he smiled, you couldn't help but smile yourself. Every time I saw him he would ask how I was and how my family was doing. Jake will truly be missed.

Where do I begin? Jake is such an amazing person! The last three years of my life have been very hard for me. I was forced to move back to Peoria and was introduced to Jake by a mutual friend. We hit it off! Not long after meeting Jake we started hanging out and texting quite often. I have never met someone I could relate to so much. Nor had I met a person his age who genuinely cared deeply about other people. He would always ask what was going on in my life and how I was doing. He was the kind of person you could call about anything and he would listen! We really had an amazing friendship. We would spend hours upon hours rapping in my basement or just talking about life. We both motivated each other and did many things together that I will never forget. Jake and I are best friends and that won't ever change. To Jake's family - My deepest condolences. I pray every night that God gives you the strength to carry on. Jake's time on earth was much to short but we will see him again one day. RIP Jake

We are all flawed, but no flaw is greater than the love of our Creator. Jacob was not blessed with a long life here, but he is eternally free of any suffering and in the loving presence of Jesus Christ. May his family and friends find solace in that awareness. J. C. Bruell

Jack was always a student who was quiet, but he had this kindness about him and shyness. Some students one remembers quite well, he was one of them.

Spending the 4th of July with Jake. His family was super nice by coming to get me from Galesburg. Jake surprised me with a heart necklace which was so sweet of him. He also let me have his yellow lakers SnapBack ... Which I was totally shocked by the way. Jake was a sweet and caring guy who will forever be in my heart. My prayers go to his whole family and everyone who was so close to him. Rip Jake I love you.. And wish I could of spent one more day with you... It is to sad to see you leave us so early...hope to see you again one day

I remember when Jake and I spent the 4th of July together. His family were so nice to me and I am happy they even spent time out of their day to come get me from Galesburg even though they didn't have too. On the day we spent the 4th of July before we went and watched the fire works. We had got some wings and sat them on the table and went to get something out of his room real fast when we got back his dog was finishing the wings off and all I could do was laugh. When him and I went to watch the fire works he surprised me with a heart necklace and he let me have his yellow lakers SnapBack! Which I never thought he would let me take. He was so sweet. It is so sad that someone like him lost his life so soon. My prayers are going to his whole family. Rip Jake love and miss you more than you will ever know!
