A Letter From Heaven

When tomorrow starts without me and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me.

I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today:
While thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me as much as I love you;
And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too.

When tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart
For every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart.

I just had to sign in with Google to get in here. I know you would find that annoying because I find that annoying. I just really miss you. Sound familiar? Not a day goes by I don’t think of you.

Happy Birthday Jake! Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. I wish I could bring you back and we could plan a trip together to a tropical island and just relax and listen to Lana and the sound of the waves. I miss you so very much.

Jake was one of my best friends. He was a genuinely great man. I’m absolutely devastated as I’m sure many are to lose him from my life. He will always be a cherished relationship and memory of mine forever truely.

Jake, AKA, Jakeosaurus Rex,

I had the pleasure of being introduced to Jake in July of 2015 through his dear friend Safia while he was living up here in Northern California. It was evident rather quick that he was a genuine good dude. In the almost five years I've known him, he treated me like we had known each other forever.

For the last few years, Jake would make his way up North usually two or three times a year, and I looked forward to that. I just saw him this past January, and when he left, I had already envisioned him back up here sometime during the summer. He was always good about keeping in touch, and visiting when he could. I will really miss that first hug we'd share when he came back.

If there's one thing I will always remember about Jake, it was his love for animals. One of the last images I have of Jake is of him holding my cat on his lap. I was house sitting for a cousin at the time, and he and Safia came to my house to hang out with my cat Tuca. Tuca doesn't come out for just anyone, but it was no surprise she did with Jake. Safia sent me a picture of that, and I will always keep that photo saved on my phone.

To Jake's family and other close friends, I am so sorry for your loss. I will miss him tremendously! In the last few years, two dogs Jake lived with while up here have also passed, both of whom were very fond of him. I find solace in knowing that Jake will most likely make a beeline for them before anything else on his current journey.

Rest easy my friend. No goodbyes though, so I'll see you around!

Jake,
I am celebrating your life and cherishing the moments we got to spend together. You are the sweetest and kindest person I know. I love and admire your openness, confidence and being comfortable with who you are. I will miss your hugs. I will miss holding your hand. I will miss you laughing at my jokes. There is a gap in my heart filled with emptiness and pain. You will be with me as long as my heart is beating.
Happy Birthday!
Love, max

I never had the honor of meeting Jake, but sadly my heart brakes for his mother Jayne who I cherish. I know there isn't anything I can possibly say to ease your pain Jayne, but please know that I am here if there is anything at all I can do for you. I love you and I pray that the deep love you have always given to so many others in your life, and imbued in all your children will hold you up and carry you through this unimaginable loss. Please consider this an open invitation. I love you and I know what a strong woman you are Jayne, now is a time to rely on the strength of all who love and support you. You are not alone...we are all holding you and your family in our hearts. Love, Linda

Even though I haven't seen Jake in years I will always remember him as a child. My favorite memory of him was when Emily and I were in her driveway and the ice cream man was driving by and Jake heard him coming down the road. He runs out of the house with a bag full of pennies and halfway down the driveway the bag busted all over the driveway. He just sat there in the middle of the pennies crying. Emily and I were trying hard not laugh while we were helping him pick them up. Can't remember if he ended up getting ice cream or not. My heart goes out to the ones closest to him. I will keep you all in my prayers. Chrissy Williams-Stipes

Love the people god gave you, because he will need them back one day.......
Just didn’t Know it would be so soon Jake. Cousin we didn’t get to spend a lot of time together, but the time that was spent together there were always smiles and fun. I remember our summer trips out to visit CA and we were always welcomed with the biggest smile from you.
A sweet soul like yours will never be forgotten. Love you Jake

Thank you Andrew for tagging me. I’m so sorry for the loss of Jakey. I have some very fond memories of him as a little boy when I babysat for your mom. I also have some funny ones. One of my favorites was when he locked me out of the house and called 911. The police showed up and found the babysitter outside trying to get him to open the door. He said “I’m sorry I locked you out.” He was a determined and clever one at a very young age. He was also so sweet and could kick my ass at Nintendo while playing with the controller upside down! All my love to you and the family!!!!

His Life
January 29, 2020
Jake was born on February 1st 1985 in Apple Valley, Ca. He would have been 35 this year. He leaves behind his Mom, two sisters, and two brothers.

From the time Jake was little he loved theatre and film. To some he seemed shy but he was actually very charasmatic. Jake moved to Santa Monica with his family in 1994, and a few years later they re-located to Carlsbad where he found his love for acting. At the age of 12 Jake took on his first stage preformance literally breaking his leg. Jake graduated from Carlsbad High School in 2003. After high school Jake returned to Santa Monica to pursue a carrer in acting.

He always loved the simple, yet important, things in life like remembering birthdays or sending hand written notes.

Jake was patient and loved to laugh. He loved spending time with his friends, taking care of animals, the moon and the stars, traveling with his best friend Sophie, and questioning the ways of the world.

His laugh was infectious, his smile uplifting, and his love forever flowing!

Anyone who knew Jake, even if only for a brief encouter, knew he had a soul like no other. An old soul - caring, kind, and ever giving to others. The needs of others always surpassed the needs of his own! I'd like to think his soul was too sweet for this often harsh world, and now he can rest in peace among the moon and stars he loved so much, forever letting his light shine!

We pray his sweet soul forever surronds all those who love him!

Today I’m finally able to share more of my Jake to everyone❤️‍❤️‍. Jake is a very special soul that GOD rented to us for the time we all needed him. He’d show up at my front door for no reason. I know Jake was very emotional connected with all of us who shared him. He knew exactly when to be a brother, son, grandson, uncle, friend, partner in mischief and acquaintance (his list of acquaintances is still totally unknown, he made nice with practically anyone). Jake most of all had an abundance BALL OF LIGHT, SMILES FOR DAYS, LAUGHTER FOR ETERNITY, shoulders to cry & lean on and ears of the BEST LISTENER I’VE EVER KNOWN❣️❣️❣️Jake will never be far away ❤️ He made sure of that by making each of us feel like we were the only person in the world when he shared time with us. Jake’s ability to make a ride seem like an adventure was a true blessing he mastered over the years. His experiences in life were all crucial to his story. He unknowingly made a gigantic impression on our hearts that he never knew existed “for sure”. He was just JAKE, he did not think he was doing anything special. His gift was genuine and natural!❣️❣️ I think of him so often I can say I rarely “miss” him. I’m lying to myself of course I have the personal relationship with special memories only him & I share. You ALL KNOW THE FEELING. He loved animals, especially my Baxter, he’d take him out to potty and return 45min later. I’d ask, “Did he go potty, Jake would innocently say No, we walked around and saw a bunch of people we chatted with”. I’d be the one harping and scolding, looking at him with his ears like a puppy. Asking if he knew I only want what’s best for him mentally and physically. Jake knows I didn’t sugar coat anything when it involved his well being. My love for Jake lives on everyday through prayers for his family. Jake woke me up today in my dream of him OPENING MY EYES UP to the many treasures he gifted me, literally surrounded by them. I know he’s in a beautiful heaven where there is no pain, worrying, sadness or hate. He’s truly HOME, and I know one day I will wake up and see his face and embrace him again! We’ll pick up right where we left off, like we used to when he’d go away and not tell me. I’d get a text one night, then a photo of him in NYC in front of Tiffany & Co. the next day. He never ceased to amaze me, he’s Jake. The one and only, forever in our lives Jake would want us to celebrate like it’s 1999 andno tomorrow. I party in a way he’d love, being me. Going on with life and being a friend, listening to people and making fun out of anything. Being Loca! His Spanish  
My prayer for everyone is to remember the excellent memories we all made, act like Jake would once in awhile and tell stories to strangers and loved ones about YOUR JAKE ❤️✝️

Yesterday you would have been 36. I will forever celebrate your life on that day and remember how blessed I am to have had you as my brother! Your time here was short but you made every minute count. You taught us all how to slow down and enjoy the things in life that really matter. I miss everything about you. Can you come back now?

Happy birthday Jake!!
