Jake was one of the nicest souls I ever had the pleasure of meeting and one of the best friends I’ve had the pleasure of having in this lifetime. From the day we met in eighth grade science class, I knew I had met such a rare gem of a human being. Looking back on the period of middle school/high school, Jake was there for all my highs and lows, supporting me through everything. Whether that was planning a surprise party for my 15th birthday, or knowing just the words to cheer me up, Jake was there, no questions asked. His house became a second home to me and my friends, with us constantly going crazy in the basement and watching the dumbest movies on Netflix or playing Just Dance. We used to brainstorm screenplay ideas together that I still and will continue to carry into my work today. Jake truly changed me for good. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure to know him during his short time on Earth, but his presence will still be felt around us, forever.
