The loss of your son is a tragedy my condolences. - A fellow EMN3

I am a former nuclear machinist mate. I did not know Jacob, but his pain is all too real for me. His story was eerily similar to my own, except I survived my suicide attempt back in 2006. I was stationed at that same shipyard, going through the same ridiculous demands and then suddenly told I was delinquent in quals. I got treated the same way by a superior. It pains me so much to see that this same exact scenario that happened to me is still happening today.

Even though we don't know each other, every nuke is a brother and we all share a bond. Jacob is in my thoughts tonight. Something must be done so that no one else suffers as we did. My deepest condolences to his family. 

Dear Elspeth,

I learned of Jacob’s passing from a news article today and I was moved to tears. My son is a Navy nuke tech (MMN3) aboard another carrier, and the conditions he told us about were similar to your son’s. I imagined that he and Jacob could have easily been friends and shipmates, playing Magic the Gathering in their off-hours, enjoying the snacks and tea that we sent them. I am so sorry that Jacob did not find the comfort and understanding he absolutely deserved as a valued member of the military. You are very much in my thoughts today.

Jacob was a Great Kid . Shy and quiet . He was gentle and loving . Liked to laugh . Was kind to everyone he met . Never caused trouble . He liked when others were happy and got along . He always did the right thing . My heart aches . He will be Greatly Missed by So Many . 

I do not know Jacob personally but I am a Vietnam U.S. Navy Veteran and as always we Sailors are always shipmates no matter where we come from or where we served. My condolences to Jacob's family and friends during this difficult time. Fair winds and following seas shipmate.

My son is (was) serving on the Roosevelt along with yours in the Nuclear  dept.  I can't imagine what you are going through. I pray for strength & understanding for you and your family. I also hope that you get some answers. I wear a "22 A Day " bracelet & have for the past 2 plus yrs which has never came off due to a text I got from my son.  Praying for you, your family, & your son's friends both home and on the Roosevelt. (We are from Kansas) 🇺🇸

Fellow Navy mom here in New Jersey with a navy nuke in San Diego sending her condolences and deep sympathies during this loss. My heart goes out to all of you and I hope the pride and memories of all that he has accomplished outshine the loss that must be so immense right now. May God shine on you all and give you peace and thank you for your sacrifice and service.

I'm a Nuke mom and I applaud you sharing your sons life and journey. I shared his story with my family and we are all deeply touched and saddened by your loss. Rest in Heaven Jake. 

May fond memories of your son bring you comfort during this hard time in your life. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. Slocum was a fun and caring soul, always cheerful and spreading that to those around him. I knew him through the School pipeline and I am confident all enjoyed his presence. May the Lord bring you comfort and revelations. 

From one Nuke Family to yours, we send our deepest condolences for the loss of your son.  May loving memories of Jacob sustain and support you during the difficult times ahead.  BNMH   

We have many happy memories with Jacob throughout his life. He was a humble and sincere soul. He always had a smile for everyone.  We were blessed to share moments of our lives with him. May the Divine Mercy of Jesus hold him fast for eternity. 

I am so sorry for the loss of your son Jacob. My daughter is also a Nuke. I am praying for strength and comfort during this difficult time.

From one nuke family to another, our condolences. I’m praying for your family during this time. My heart breaks for you all. ❤️

I am so terribly sorry for your loss and cannot understand the difficulty in every moment you have been experiencing. Our entire family will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. My son is a Nuke aboard the Nimitz currently on his second deployment. I can empathize the hard path that Nuke Sailors have throughout their schooling and credentialing. Please know my heart has been thinking of you often. - The Beck Family 

As a Nuke mom, my heart goes out to you. All my thoughts and prayers are for you. No words can provide adequate condolences when you lose a child. Just know, BNMH are surrounding you from all over this great big country. ♥️⚓️♥️

My heart breaks for you. Words cannot describe. I pray for strength and love for each of you touched by this sudden and devastating loss. I’m proud of all Jacob accomplished and so thankful for his service.  My son is also a Nuke, stationed in Groton, Ct. and although they may not have known each other, sends his sincere condolences.  Fair winds and following seas, Jacob.

BNMH so sorry for your loss, words cannot express how sorry we all are for you and your family but most of all, Jacob. RIP buddy. Thank you for your service to our country. 

Jacob was such a silly and happy guy. I'm so glad that the last time we saw each other I got to send him off with a hug. Knowing him since the 6th grade, I have plenty to say about him, but one of my most memorable times with him was just one time during middle school English. His sneeze was so loud it caused the girl next to us to scream in shock and the teacher looked at us all with a weird face thinking it was all coordinated or something because we were all silently reading to ourselves and suddenly Jacob sneezed, and you know how loud that was, and the scream immediately followed. Jacob was such a gentle soul, and his acceptance and respect of my sexuality from someone who I confided in is one of the reasons why I am so confident in who I am today. He played a huge part in supporting me along the way despite my mental health issues and lack of confidence, and I wish I got a proper way to thank him for his role in my life. Rest well, Jacob.
