It is crazy that you are gone Jake. I have been trying to reconnect with you for awhile and never found a phone number or anything. I just received the news. If I had known I would have been there. I hope you know that I loved you dearly and you will always be honored in my memory and heart. I should have stayed in touch better with you and I apologize. I envy you because of what your eyes are beholding and the rest you are no doubt enjoying with Jesus. You were so kind and have always deserved the best. Now I know I will have to wait until heaven to reconnect with you now. I look forward to it old friend. I love you my brother.

I wish I could have been there for ya'll (Cherrie and Josh) and your family as you had to tell Jacob goodbye for now, but that you would see him again. I've missed all the fun times we all use to have. I sure did enjoy being around all of you and wish I could be there with ya'll again. If there is anything at all I can do for you please let me know. Love and Miss Ya'll!

We have thought of your family often and wondered what happened to you all. Everytime we go by N. 285 where you lived we think of you and have a prayer for your physical and spiritual good, We were suprised to learn of Jacob's accident but know all of you celebrate all Jacob's accomplishments during his short life. God is good. Love and hugs, Guy and Marsha.

We are so very sorry to hear about Jake. We can only imagine the pain that you are going through. We will keep the whole family in our prayers. I am so glad that Jimmie was able to be there for you this week. If there is anything else that we can do, you know that we are only a phone call away. We love you guys! Read the poem below and hopefully it may bring you a little comfort. He is Gone You can shed tears that he is gone, Or you can smile because he lived, You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back, Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see him Or you can be full of the love that you shared, You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember him and only that he is gone Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on, You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your back, Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Jake was called home for reasons we do not understand or may never know. Although we have not had the oppertunity to meet Jake's wife, she must be an amazing woman. We will keep you in our prayers. Josh, we love you and hold you in our prayers as well. Be strong for your Mom and Dad. May God lay his soothing hand on your hearts, for it is not "Good-bye Jake" , it is more like "See you later, Dear Friend" God rest your soul and keep your family well. AMEN Love, Kevin & Dawn Hartley

Jake was the most kindhearted man I have ever known. I loved him dearly. Always making me laugh, always a friend and one of the most special relationships I have ever had. I will miss him as I know his family grieves. To the Burcham family: I love you all, and I always will. If there is anything that I can do for you, just say the word. You are dear Christian people and I know that the Lord will give you strength in this time of heartache. Just lean on Jesus and he will see you through. This scripture gave me strength when Daddy went home to see Jesus in September. I pray that it will give you peace and the hope of seeing Jake again when we all meet again in heaven. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 "Now also we would not have you ignorant, brethren, about those who fall asleep (in death), that you may not grieve (for them) as the rest do who have no hope (beyond the grave). For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him, through Jesus, those who have fallen asleep (in death)." My love and prayers are with you all. Abigail

We will miss his wonderful smile and just the way it was so obvious how much he loved you. You were the apple of his eye and it showed. We know it will be the hardest thing in all the world to try and recover from and you never will but they say it does ease up with time. Just know all our love and prayers are with you and your Mom and the girls. He will be greatly missed.We know he is in the arms of the Lord.

Jake was the person that deep down we all wanted to be like. He was caring, smart, funny, and always had an open door for you. Jake would be the person that you knew would be the first to give you the shirt off of his back and the last to give up on you. We will forever miss Jake's stories, smile, laughter, and heart. As sudden and tragic as this is I know the Lord God Almighty needed Jake up above, and while my heart is full of joy, it still aches for the loss of a good friend. You are all in our prayers.

I am so heartbroken for you all...Jacob was ALWAYS smiling and usually pulling some kind of prank (Sparky) to make us all laugh. I was one of his RN's when he worked at the State Hospital, and I adored his sense of humor and sense of family. There are truly no words I can leave to help you all through this...just know that Jacob was truly loved by lots of us, and will be missed by lots of us.
