Donate to Jakob Town's Memorial Fund

In this unimaginable time of grief, when there are no words, a mother and father are enduring the reality of losing their child. As the family copes with this devastating loss, please consider helping by donating. Your generosity will provide them relief for accrued medical and upcoming funeral expenses. Any contribution is deeply appreciated. Thank you for your compassion and generosity.

Below is the announcement that Alison, Jakob's mom, posted after his passing -

"My baby son, age 17 years old, just left this earth to be in eternity forever in peace. Hold on to your loved ones; you only get one chance. He was the best kid in the world, hit by a car as a pedestrian the night before his first day of senior year in high school. He was just helping a friend, as he always did. He was going to wear hot pink to homecoming with his true love, Jordyn, as his date. A life taken, just like that, gone forever! Hold your children tight. A few of my friends and family have first-hand experience with losing a child before them. No parent will ever realize what it is like or make sense of it. Healing is forever! Sleep in peace, my sweet baby boy!"
