Dear Malessas, we are so incredibly saddened to hear about Jalen. We all have such wonderful memories of all of you, the kids playing together and Jalens extra large smile and caring nature. We all want you to know that Jalen and all of you are in our thoughts and prayers and we will always remember Jalen and all of the kids sledding and playing in the woods.
All our love to you.

Melessa family, my heart breaks for you. Sam, I don´t think I have seen you since high school and I don´t know your family, but reading about your son he is an amazing young man. So handsome and so many talents.

Just an amazing young man, gone way too soon. Lots of great memories, including some of the best basketball trash talking. It truly breaks my heart that he's no longer with us.
