I have never met such an incredible young man! Jacob always had a smile on his face and never a bad word to say about anyone. I will truly miss working with him! My thoughts and prayers are with you! Susan Utter

We are so very sorry for your tragic loss, please accept our deepest condolences. We all shed tears, as Jacob was like an adopted son. He and Andy began kindergarten together, and their camaraderie was indeed special. I always enjoyed making breakfast for them on sleepover weekends when they were little boys! Our trip to Six Flags was a particularly fun day. There isn't enough space for all the memories, but his passing is absolutely heart-breaking. Jacob had many positive qualities. Among them, he was intelligent, engaging, humorous, and consummately polite...always respectful. Peace and comfort in these difficult days. With much love, The Paris Family

It makes my heart hurt to read this.. Jacob was such a great guy! My wife and I bought our vehicle from him just 2 months ago and working with him was some of the best customer service we have ever experienced. May he rest in peace and thoughts and prayers to his family at this difficult time.

Chris and Amy, There is actually nothing that I can do or say in this sad time other than you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that you can find some kind of peace and comfort in the coming days.
