Well, it's been a year since you left us and I'm still waiting for you to walk in my back door and make Nick laugh. Thank you for blessing our lives with your smile, kind heart, and easy going nature. We sure miss you Jake Zorn. I didn't think Nick was going to make it but you would be so proud of him Jake. He wants to make sure he is roommates with you in heaven so he's been pretty good here on earth. Love and miss you Jake. Let us know what heaven is like. I'm sure the fishing is beyond our wildest imagination.

Michelle, I am so sorry to hear about your loss, and I am praying for you. You were always such a good friend and nice person to me. I wish such a good friend did not have to go through this pain. You always spoke good words about Jacob. He sounded like a really great guy and you were very lucky to have him and the time you spent with him. You always seem too carry your own bright light about you with that caring kind of smile and way you looked at each day. Never ever lose that or faith in yourself. It will be tough and hard and sad but I know Jacob would say that he wants you to never loose your way and you are so lucky to have so many great memories with him. Your friend always, Christian Alling

Jake was so full of love and laughter, never had one bad thing to say. I remember one time specifically, we had gym class together in high school and he came in with some burn marks on his arms and when I asked what had happened, he told me he was having a campfire and got a little burnt...still with a huge smile on his face like it didn't even phase him. He was completely fearless in every way possible. Words can't even begin to explain how loved and adored Jake is by each and every person who had the wonderful opportunity to meet him. He will be greatly missed but always remembered.
