Hi buddy. Hard to believe it's been 15 years since you were taken. I went down to Dietz at today with Southeast Middle shift to remember and honor you. Even though most who were there weren't even on the department when this happen, they were there. Just know you cross a lot of people's minds everyday. And especially mine. Your a great friend and I will always miss you. But never forget you. R. I. P. sweetie

Hey you ..... Been awhile since I have been on here. Just know that you are in my thoughts. I'm always seeing or hearing something that makes me smile and even laugh out loud, because it reminds me of what a terrific friend you were. How funny you were, and I knew if I had a problem ... I could come to you and you would tell me the way it was .... never pulled any punches. You will always be missed and never forgotten ...

Jake,
I thought of you today, but that is nothing new.
I thought of you yesterday, and will tomorrow too.
I think of you in silence, and make no outward show.
For what it meant to lose you, only those who love you know.
Remembering you is easy, I do it every day.
Its the heartache of losing you, that will never go away.

Always and Forever ... LuAnn

Hi my friend, I know it's been awhile since I have stopped by to say Hello. Still think about you everyday, and miss you a bunch. I can't believe it has been 11 years since you were taken away. So many things have changed over the years. But you would be happy to know that there are alot of people who still remember you and tell me stories or mention things that remind me of you. You will always be remembered Jake, and will always be loved
Love and miss you, LuAnn

Jake: I am thinking of you today, as well as one of your closest friends. Please know that you have not been forgotten, and are thought of and loved daily. You were a true hero Jake. Please continue to shine your light on her, and let her know that EVERYTHING will be OK and you are still around her and guiding her. She needs your support. RIP Jake.

Ten years ago today, my best friend was taken away. He was way to young, it was way to soon, and he still had a lot to offer to others. I've ask myself several times over why this senseless thing happen. But the only answer I can come up with is that it was just his time to go. A day never goes by that I don't think of him. A few weeks ago one of the Officers I work with shared a "Jake" memory with me on the radio. It was just nice to hear others still think of him too. This time of year is always hard ..... but I treasure all the good times he and I shared. I also know that I will always have my memories, and no one can take them away. You'll never be forgotten sweetie ... by me or many others.

Tomorrow is 10 years and I'm still thankful you protected our neighborhood. I was incredibly fearful that night alone and scared with my 10 month old baby. I'm sorry for your family's loss and thank you from the bottom of my heart for your service. I have never even met you and I still pause to think of you periodically. Our community is lucky to have officers like yourself.
