Dear Pepe Family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. This really was a shock to all of us who knew Jake. My family and I were remembering the mission trips to F2F and Belize with him. He was such a hard worker. I am praying for you all as you mourn the loss of one so young. May God carry you through the tough moments in his loving arms and may his grace and peace be with you always.
Praying for your family at this time. I knew Jake as my slacker from HEB. He loved talking about sports and gave me tips about exercise. He will be missed by all in the community.
Darla & Family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Please know that Calvin and I lift you all in prayer. May the love you each felt for Jake bring you close as you mourn. Gods grace and peace be with each of you.
Dear Pepe Family,
So sorry for your loss. I knew Jake thru a friend on the Rugby team. He was truly a very good person that will be missed by many! He truly gave whatever he was involved in his all! I attended many Rugby games over the last couple years and Jake would always be right there where the action was! God Bless You Jake and Rest In Peace till we all meet again!

I remember Jacob from our choir days at CBC. He was such a cute little boy back then, and I see he grew to be a very special young man. May God’s presence be very real to all of you during this difficult time, giving you peace and comfort and bathing you in sweet memories.
