July 2000 - 1 day old with Great Grandma Bernice

I love you & I will never forget the ways you have helped me. Saved my life a few times.. Mentally and physically you were always there for me. Pulling me out of the frozen pond and dragging me up into your dads house. I remember you wrapped your coat around me because you were worried I was too cold. All the nights the depression was eating me alive man no matter what I thought or was thinking I never had to ask for help with you. You could read the room well always. You knew when a friend or family member needed a shoulder to lean on and you always went out of your way to make sure we all knew that you loved and cared about us.  It’s crazy how you could just make me forget about the negatives. You always saw the bigger picture.. All the nights we spent just sitting and talking I will cherish those memories forever.  It’s never good bye it’s always Till we meet again. Wish we could go back to hiding under pontoons drinking beer or running around with the friend group just having a good time back when we didn’t have to pay bills and we didn’t have all these life responsibilities. I love you brother always💯.  we have  a lot to talk about when I see you again.

This reality that you’re gone from this earth is so hard to except for so many. You was my little cousin and although we didn’t see each other as often, every time I seen you, you always had a smile on your face and always so kind and thoughtful and loved your family. I remember when you was a baby and you and your brother were the first two kids that I babysat during my summers as a young teen, sweet memories I’ll always cherish…you was such a sweet baby. Time truly goes by so fast and we always think they’ll be more time or we’ll see family soon and then…..we just don’t. I regret not hanging around longer the last day I seen you a few weeks ago, instead of rushing off to go home. You are gone too soon from this earth and are/will be forever missed cousin. Now we seek justice. 🫶.

I will always remember them days on Ross ave and I bet my brother elijah spradling does too thankyou for the time we spent growing up always your dawg alec Murphy 🖤🖤

Jacob at Jade’s sister and brother in law’s baby shower

He will be greatly missed.  Jacob celebrated Passover with us. He was starting his journey with God and had so many questions.  He was our family and he always showed up for all the family functions. We  loved him very much!

Ever since the day I met Jake, we clicked instantly like we had known each other for years. He was always smiling when I seen him, and I never caught Jake in a bad mood. He was the first person to ever ride a motorcycle next to me. I would give him a hard time for not wearing gear hahaha. When my late cat Smokey passed, he helped me grieve over her and talked to me about long haired cats, outside of our obsession over cars. When I bought my 3rd 350Z, he was one of the first of my friends to come over and check it out. Jake had a big heart, and he was my best friend. Somewhere deep down I still feel like I'm going to get a message from him, or that I'll run into him at a gas station randomly like we used to. Jake was special, he would always brighten up my mood when I seen him and I could bet that he did that for a lot of people. There will always be a special place in my heart & memories of our time together, on bikes, at car meets or just playing a video game, talking & laughing. Gone too soon, but I will never forget him. I hope to see you again one day Jake, with that big grin and a dap waiting. I'm sure I'll have a lot to talk to you about. Till then, please watch over all of us. I miss you buddy

I remember putting self tapping screws in your battery powered jeeps to give you traction in the mud at the garage your dad and I rented.

OK Tyler.  Eddie and I use to take both you boys fishing at a pay lake usually. Maby a couple times when you was real young to go ride over night. It didn't matter. When I was with both you boys, it never failed, late at night your dad and I was sitting by the fire and one of you boys fell off the top bunk in the motor home. Last time I went it was jake. Apparently it only happened when I was there. Lol Becky told me I was not aloud going no more because it happened when i was with both of you lol.  Now I'm camping next to you and wish I could have both of you there falling off again. I wish I could watch both of you climbing hills. I love both of you and have your back.

When i think of Jacob, so many good memories from Dixie bend come to mind . From riding golf carts (playing golf cart tag) around , to swimming off the docks . 
Some mornings i would wake up to him outside the trailer or a text message saying to come eat breakfast his mom made . Or having bonfires , especially the one when we burned a couch and the flames got so tall Tyler and Jacob ( buttercup) had to hose it down before it caught surrounding trees on fire . Or as stated above how he got his nickname the buttercup . Being young kids who didn’t have a clue about life , i called everyone silly nicknames & somehow buttercup stuck with him for years to come & how everyone began to call him it (even his mom called him buttercup a few times which made us giggle) . 
When we got older & i got my license we would all hang out at Austin’s house and Jacob would always be there to crack a joke and put a smile on others faces . He will always bring back good memories when thought of & Will never be forgotten. 
Love you buttercup . 
Sincerely, Jami from dixiebend .

Jacob never met a stranger. He was always willing to be a friend to every person he encountered. I will never forget all of our memories we made together in Kentucky. He was my buddy since we are the same age. His smile was so infectious. Such a kind soul gone too soon💔

I only spent one weekend with Jake but it was a weekend I’ll never forget. We clicked almost instantly and then raised hell like no other. 
Rest in paradise Jake. 🤘🏼
