My dearest Jake, I am so sorry I could not be there today to say goodbye in person. You were in my class, I remember your beautiful smile and your dark brown curly hair, that was just like mine. I remember your dad at conferences, how he smiled and spoke so proudly of you! I am so glad that I was a part of your life‘s journey, and that you were part of mine. I’ll never forget you. Until we meet again, may you shine in the light of God for eternity. Love, Your third-grade teacher, Mrs. Tonilynn Melhem

Jake was the liaison between the students and me for our block in 7th grade when I was out with cancer. he emailed me on a daily/weekly basis to ask how I was doing and let me know what the students were doing in class. He took this responsibility on his own out of kindness and respect for me and his peers. I will never forget his kindness and caring especially on my behalf. You are sorely missed, Jake. My heart goes out to Jake's family.

Andrew A. Oakley left a message on February 23, 2020:
When he was a student in my English I class his freshman year (2016-17) at Warren Hills, Jake would enter the room every day with a smile. I especially recall his mature sense of humor and higher order of thinking. When I teach, I occasionally throw in, with a straight face, satiric comments that only older, more advanced students would understand; I was impressed that Jake was always one of only a few students in a class of 25 who would laugh at these jokes because he understood them. Although I never had him as a student once he became a sophomore, Jake and I always said hello in the hallways or launched into brief conversations outside my classroom door, that big smile perpetually lighting up everyone’s day. I’ll miss his drawling “Oakleeeeeeeeeey” whenever we crossed paths. I promise that Jake and his family, plus his friends, will be in my prayers.
