Mr. and Mrs. Howard and Holly,
I am so sorry about the loss of your son/brother. He was a wonderful man. I will never forget his sweet spirit and uplifting character. His smile radiated. He will be truly missed by all that knew him. I pray that your family will find comfort in the Lord in the days to come.

I will always remember Jake's beautiful smile and his tremendous left foot when it came to soccer. Prayers and thoughts are with the family.

RIP my Brother N Law. You were the angle in my sisters LIFE. You and Hailey were a match made in heaven and you made our family complete. Not only are you survived by your birth family but you are also survived by Hailey Marie - The love of your life.
We all so loved you very much as though you had been a part of our family all our lives. We will forever cherish the wonderful gift you gave us, which was you. Your smile, your good nature, and just the incredible man you turned into will forever be in our hearts and never be forgotten. Keep that smile, and continue to look after us all until we meet again. XOXOX. Love ya!!!

Our sweet baby boy. The night I took this picture, I told you then, your eyes were so pretty that they could cut right through to a persons soul when you looked at them. I am so sorry that you will not be with us here on earth, but, I am rejoicing in knowing that we will see you again someday in heaven. You brought joy, laughter, love, thoughtfulness, with a caring heart to our daughter, your fiance, and the only regret we have is that we will not get to share our lives with you. You brought a loving light into our hearts that will always stay lit. We love you, sweet Jake. Thank you so much for the love you gave to our daughter, and the memories that we will charish a lifetime. We will see you in heaven, someday~ Until then, rest with the angels, sweetheart.
Love, Mom & Dad White, and family
