Dear family of Jake the Angel,
This is AJ’s mom, Ronna. I am so sorry and so very sad to hear about Jake’s tragic passing. As a mother of 4, my heart hurts deeply right now. I really don’t know what to say…and have a very hard time comprehending the pain you must be going through? I am fight back streams of tears every time I think about this tremendous loss for all of us.
Jake was such a good and loving friend to my dear son, AJ Ueber, who is absolutely heart-broken and devastated. They were like brothers…buddies…best friends…they shared music play lists together…nothing but good times. Jake spent many nights at our home and we always welcomed him with open arms…and he was a joy! Such a good kid! Such a great personality! So talented! So loved! Jake had many “good times” with many of his buddies in AJ’s “bachelor pad” basement. Please know that everyone loved Jake dearly. We won’t ever forget him…and we are so happy that he brought all of us so much joy!
May God bless Jake in heaven. Please stay strong. Focus on all of the joy “Jake the Angel” brought to all of those who loved him dearly.
Kind Regards, The Ueber Family
