My dearest Jacob, 
I think of you often. You have recently popped up in my life again and your timing couldn’t have been better. I loved you. I love you still. I feel you by my side. When things get really dark, and lonely, and when I feel like no one in this entire world has my back. I feel an itch on my head, then you pop in my mind. It’s like you’re telling me you have my back. That although I may feel alone in this moment, that I’m not. That I have you holding my hand and here by my side. Thank you for your kind words while you were with us. You were my biggest cheerleader as a teenager. You made me feel like a queen. When I had boyfriends who didn’t treat me right, you weren’t afraid to let me know how you felt. You told me I deserved better and I didn’t listen but you knew it was just part of my lesson and stood by my side any way. I wish we had more time together. I wish I told you how I felt sooner. I wish were still close in the end. I know you’re in a good place. I know you’re watching over me and all of your loved ones. You will always be have a place in my heart. I love you forever. Love, Danielle B🌹🦋

After doing more investigating, I really feel this was my 5th grade student. I found a connection w Desiree, also a student of mine at Day Middle. I don't have Facebook or anything, but Des if that is you pls email me at karen1amaya@hotmail.com. I was merely seeking info on how Jake was doing after all these years, and tragically found this. If only I had been able to connect w him prior...i am deeply sad.

If this is the same Jacob, I was your 5th grade teacher at Vail in Temecula. I have never forgotten you and your family. You were an awesome student, despite the fact you drove all the other teachers nuts....not me; I requested to have you in my class, plus your cousins, etc. Your mom was also a good friend. Love to you all and I'm sorry we lost you.

I love you very much and everyday I think about you ! 

I worked with Jacob at various places in substance abuse treatment, and it has not been mentioned what an amazing job he did helping those who were struggling to find help. I cannot begin to fathom how many lives were saved by his own hands, heart, and soul. He was always such a character in the office and and lent his spirit to the team. Keep doing good work in Paradise, Jacob. Peace to you and your family. 

Jacob and I knew each other throughout the years, playing hoops, hanging with friends, etc. We would argue about what sports teams were the best and athletes were the greatest, but ultimately would come to a mutual agreement, he was just classic and always made me laugh. I had nothing but the utmost respect for this man. God Bless You Brotha!

I wish I would have got to know you Jacob.Your dad,and I are cousins.We will meet one day in heaven my friend.!Praying for rick,and his whole family,and friends that God will comfort them in their grief.

Jake. You were an amazing and unique person. The way you could light up a room with your smile and laugh was unparalleled. I haven't met one person who doesn't have a story about how you affected them in the most positive way. You and I became close friends from the minute we met. It's a time in my life I'll never forget. The memories we shared are countless and will be cherished endlessly. You'll always be in our hearts.

I will always remember you and never forget the times we shared while we lived out our youth. You were new to the area but none the less, a wild kid that stood out among all the other kids. Ill never forget those days dude, i literally met you in detention, watching you tell the teachers youre not supposed to be there for some reason. You were always passionate in the many ways of life that you pursued and man i appreciate you so much for it. Jake, you always were and always will be in my eyes, yourself, I hope your family the best and know that you're chillin with all of us still. Ill see you eventually but until then, cheers old friend, i will always care, love and remember your smile.

So sorry.  Deepest sympathy & best regards.

This devastating loss is tempered only with the knowledge that Jacob is now among the most amazing company of family, extended family, and friends. We love you Rick, Nathan, and your family. Praying for your peace.

May your loved ones feel your loving presence everyday until you are all together again. The world lost a beautiful soul, yet heaven gained an amazing angel. You have done well! xoxo

Since we were little kids I have always admired Jakey...His personality could light up and room and his loving kind heart shined through always. I will miss him with all my heart! 

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Muckelrath family. We are so saddened by the loss of Jacob. We love you and pray that God gives you strength during this time.

The world lost a great man.  He will be terribly missed. Jacob left an imprint on everyone he met & everyone has so many great memories to share about him. The world will not be the same without his quirkiness, his sense of humor & the ability to lighten the mood in any given situation.  I pray that all of Jacobs family and friends find peace. Rest in Paradise, Jacob. Until we meet again....

Sorry for your loss rick much love to you and your family

Praying for the Family and friends Jacob left behind. May they find peace and strength in the days ahead. ❤

Jacob was a Superstar! The few times i was privileged enough to be in the same room with him i always noticed the room was different. Brighter,positive, and full of promise. This is a huge loss for the whole world.
