I had not had the pleasure of knowing Jacob long. But the time I did know him, I could tell he was a caring soul as he was sweet and funny. My thoughts and prayers are with Jacob and with his family in these difficult times.
My sincerest condolences.
Jacob was one of my first friends when I moved to Texas in May. I was one of his managers at McDonald’s and I would take him from work and we would always manage to stuff his bike in my back seat and laugh about it later. He was my kitchen person, my work bestie, and honestly always brought sunshine to me and my shift. The last time I had seen him was a Sunday that I had called out on but I took him to work. We were laughing and joking and the last thing I said to him was “Love you, have an amazing shift” and he gave me a hug. Truly his sunshine will never be dulled, and when I graduate college it will be for him because he will never get to. He was one of the first people to show me kindness in a state I was unfamiliar in. And it doesn’t feel right now that a part of my sunshine and my family is gone. He will forever be loved and missed by his McDonald’s family. And he will forever be loved by his adopted big sister. Fly high Jacob ❤️
Jacob, you were loved by so many. I cherish all the talks we had about our life. It was fun always working with you, never had a dull moment. Thanks for always making sure I was okay at work. I’m going to miss hearing you ask me “Do you need your thrown?” When my back hurts starts hurting at work. I’m sad that I never got to tell you if I’m having a boy or girl 🥺. I will be sure to write it on a balloon and send the message to you. R.I.P. Jacob you will forever be missed.
Kristen, thank you for your kind words. May Jacob Rest in Paradise.
Jacob te lloré muchísimo y te sigo llorando porque no esperaba tu partid de este mundo cuando apenas empezabas casi a estar en el. Pero te conocí lo bastante mucho no todo pero si percibí el alma buena qu tenías dentro.empecé a mirarte cómo u trabajador un compañero de trabajo después un amigo y a veces te sentí familia o llegue a imaginarte si tú hubieras sido mi hijo , lo demás Diis tú y yo lo sabíamos cómo nos estimamos tú y yo, te llegue a ver con falta de familia pero tenías mucho amor a tus amigos y siempre con una aptitud positiva y sonriente amable educado y respetuoso. Tal vez el mundo no te merecía no yo 😢 por eso Dios te llevo a donde hay el amor y La Paz que tú mereces. Te extrañare y llorare pero se que estas mejor donde estáras en la presencia de Dios 🙏🏻
