I am one of Jake's cousins in colorado. I remember when his family would come visit we would play house and many other child games, I always remembered his contagious smile. The only thing I regret is leaving the last family reunion early and not getting to see him one last time. The day I found out about his death I searched for photos of him and I found him smiling into the camera. I just understand how hard this must have been for his family. To loose two children (Jake and his sister Anne,as well as her daughter) must be uncomprehensable. With all the sadness it is nice to know that he touched so many people. I love you Jake and you will be misses!
