Condolence: Jacob, you are missed every single day. I was just reading a conversation between us and it made me feel so alive and appreciative of who you were. You cared so much for people in a gentle, loving way. I really wish I could see you again. I love you. You will never be replaced in our lives. May justice be served oh Lord so our hearts can heal, if it is ever possible.

Condolence: jake... I don't know where to begin man. you were one of the most sincear and kind friends I've ever had. you were always so honest and real all the time. I remeber the first time we met we hung out for 2 weeks straight. you were so easy to get along with. I saw you last in January and it was such a warm memory. just hanging out playing video games together eating chips. those simple pleasures, those relaxed moments with you were moments I'll cherish and never forget. I remeber the day we went to Kansas City together, you wanted to help me make a music video. you walked into an old building and struck up a friendly conversation with the owner and just with your kind and gentle essence he gave us free rein to explore the whole building and film whatever we wanted. I've never seen someone so warm and inviting be able to just work that kind of magic. there was just something about you jake that made a person feel safe and happy. I can't stress enough how different you were. maybe the world just didn't deserve you man. I don't know why these things happen but this will never stop hurting. I've been trying to get ahold of you for like 2 months now or something, and to find out this happened I can't even process this. for anyone who wants to see the video me and jake made, it's here.. https://youtu.be/05GYN2ukTjc love you jake. miss you forever man..

Condolence: My heartfelt sympathy to your family. Jacob played with my son on the LS Parks & Rec baseball league for several years when they were teens and graduated in the same class at LSWest. God's peace and comfort to your family.

Condolence: I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Losing a child has to be one of worst experiences anyone can go through ever in life, it is most certainly the hardest when they are taken from us so tragically. The thought is unbearable. Although I never had the opportunity to meet Jacob, I can tell from his picture that he was very handsome and looked happy. I have no doubt he was a wonderful person. It is an enormous grief that he has left us at such a youthful age. While I do not think anyone can ever be the same after an event like this, I pray that the outpouring of sympathy, the kind acts of friends and strangers and the comfort in knowing that your loss is felt by so many, will help you through this difficult time.

Condolence: Michele and John, I am so sorry for your loss. I can't begin to imagine the pain you are feeling right now, but please know that you and your whole family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Condolence: I am so very saddened to hear of the loss of Jacob. I will always remember his big smile and sweet, sweet spirit. Know that your family will continue to be held close in thought and prayer.

Condolence: I am truly sorry for the loss and pain the John and Michele Skowronski family and friends are feeling because of losing Jacob recently in death, way too soon. Most of us have had to endure the sorrow of losing a loved one in death. What helped me the most was prayer and faith in God's promises like 1 Corinthians 15:26 tells us: "And the last enemy death, is to be brought to nothing." God's kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for at Matt:6:9, 10 will bring about these wonderful promises, including the resurrection. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, but we are all guaranteed a resurrection.(John 5:28, John 6:40, John 11;23-25). God invites you to throw all your burdens on him and he will sustain you in your time of grief. Again, the family is in my prayers and I offer my heartfelt condolences.
