  1. Please know how deeply sorry we are to learn of this tragic death of such a fantastic young man. He and I bonded over sausage making, and prepping for interviews, and he helped us move. I still remember when we finished up the attic and gave him his money… he said “hey if you are getting rid of those roller blades, I tried them and they are my size… I’ll take them off your hands…” we gave them to him happily and I think he liked those more than the money. He was a joy and pleasure to know. You are all in our thoughts and prayers and on our minds as you release this amazing young man back to the creator.

  2. My mother and I babysat him. He was full of energy and most important he was my baby. I couldn’t even go to the bathroom without him racing behind me in his walker. We are so happy to have seen him all grown and be the man we knew he would be. Love from the Rosa family. ♡

  3. My heart is breaking for my dear friends over the loss of such a kind young selfless soul. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May God give you the strength and comfort to get through the loss of our sweet Jake. I love you all.
