JACOB MICHAEL PREVOST
November 25, 1995 - August 26, 2011

"It's been 2 years now Jake and I can still feel the pain of when I was first told you were gone. I used to watch you and your day go up and down the aisles at church serving communion and offering plates. Now I see your two brothers doing the same thing now and then. All I know is that you are truly missed and I know we all will see you again. RIP Jake!"

"Dang, its been a long time, I was google imaged searched pictures of marquette and you popped up. I miss you man. I hope heaven is all the Bible describes it to be. I'm sure you're doing alright. I miss you so much. I'm sure I will see you again someday bud. Love you."

"Gosh Jake I miss you so much. You were an amazing kid and always will be "

"Jake, i miss you. i miss your laugh & smile. i think about you all the time, and when i do i cry. i hope your up their watching all of us. the football team misses you. and your family. just think one day all of us will be up there with you. Love youu! "

"I miss you Jacob,that laugh and how you always had a smile on your face. I hope that one day in the future when im an adult, i hope my son will be like you. Ill see you in heaven number 27"

"Jake, you have been taken away from us too early, you were a great kid with a great personality. I wish i could have gotten to known you better, but seems to me you made everyone smile, and happy. We miss you Jake, you will NEVER be forgotten. WE LOVE YOU "

"I never had the chance to meet Jake, but I watched him grow up each Christmas and got to read about him and his brothers through Wendy's yearly Christmas card letters. I've had a chance to "creep," as they say, on some FB pages (particularly Jake Ketchem) and I sure missed out on meeting one very special young man who was loved, liked and admired by all who were blessed to have known him. I look so forward to meeting him in Heaven one day. May you all know how truly blessed you were to have Jake Prevost a part of your lives."

"Jake was such a sweetheart of a kid. I miss him like crazy. He always used to call me Squid. Once we were talking about embarrassing stories in class and mine was about when I fell down the stairs at Senja's house. Jake thought that was the funniest thing, whenever we saw each other in the hallway or at Lower Harbor he'd say, "Hey Amanda, remember when you fell down the stairs at Sen's?" and he'd laugh and laugh. Oh, do I miss that laugh. Best wishes and much love for your family."

"We are so sorry for your loss. Frank and sheri"

"Dr. Dr. and Wendy Prevost, You are in my prayers. May God comfort you and ease your pain. Sincerely Gayla"

"Dear Dr. and Wendy Prevost, I just read about your son in the Cody paper and I was greatly moved for your loss. Since I moved to Plainview so Aubrey could attend Wayland Baptist University I get the Cody Enterprise weeks after it is posted. I have been in prayer ever since I heard of this tragedy. I am deeply sorry for your pain during this bereavment. Dr. Prevost was always so very nice to me and my family and Wendy was a sweetheart, and the only person that stood by me when I tried to collect signatures in support of traditional marriage, which I am still doing and much more sucessfully than in Cody. I will keep you in my prayers. God bless you with peace and comfort during this time of healing. Jacob looks so much like Michael. I wish I could donate but I am between jobs at the moment. My website www.hope7.highpowersites is quite busy and I continue to witness of what Californa did to me and my family. But God is faithful and He comforts and teaches me in the way I should go. In my prayers, Gayla"

"So sorry for you loss, our thoughts and prayers are with you. May God's grace comfort you. Elijah, Jed, Kathy and Scott Weber"

"Mike, Wendy, Jared and Matt, My heart aches for your family. I am so sorry for your precious loss. I know there is little to say or do to ease your pain, but please know I send you my deepest sympathy. Love to you all, Jackie Chandonnet"

"Mike and Wendy, We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Jacob was such a cute little boy when you lived here and it sounds like he was a remarkable teen. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Love from your old neighbors, Brent and Rita Crooks"

"Dear Prevost Family and Friends, We are so saddened by learning of the passing of your son. We can only imagine how difficult this is for all of you. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this most difficult of times. We wish there were words we could say to help ease your sorrow but we believe that through time and with the hand of God to guide you, you will see your way through this."

"Dear Prevost Family, There just aren't words to describe how sorry we are to hear about Jacob. We're thinking of you and praying for peace. Our deepest regrets to you all. Treasure the memories of your wonderful son and brother. If there's anything at all we can do for you, please let us know. Love, The Winninger Family"

"To the Prevost family, Our deepest condolences in the loss of your son. We will keep all of you in our prayers and ask God to give you peace and comfort during such a difficult time."

"Prevost family, Words can not express the sadness we are feeling for you and your extended family as well as Jacob's friends. We have been praying as a family for God to offer the strength that only he can, as well as the peace that we can find only through him. May time, in it's way of healing, decrease the pain and strengthen the memories that will sustain until you can meet again. The Bollinger Family"

"Dear Prevost family, I am so sorry for your loss. Jacob was a special three year old when I had the privileged of babysitting him. I remember how brave Jacob was. I was intimidated by those big black labs but Jacob could handle those dogs like he was 4 times his age. He was a special boy who always had an activity in mind for the babysitting time. Most of the time he was anxious to play on the computer. He was better at maneuvering that computer than I was. I remember that he always wanted me to read from his Bible story book at night before he went to bed. He was a stong spirited three year old who always seemed to know what he wanted. Those memories are special to me. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Melanie Crooks (Anderson)"

"Im so sorry about the loss of your son Jake. He was always so nice to everyone and he really did always have a smile on his face that would make anybody happy even on their worst days,I know for a fact because he did the same for me. Just because of meeting Jake it made me wanna change for the better and I really do believe that Jake is with God and he will be greatly missed. one of Jakes fellow class members, Benjamin D. Berger"

"We are so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We pray that His face would shine upon you and give you peace, that He would wrap you in His arms of love, and give you strength to run this race called life."

"Dear Prevost Family- On behalf of the Gladstone J.V. Football Team, our thoughts and prayers are with your family and all of lives Jacob touched during his life. I only met Jacob once, and I remembered a great smile and very respectful attitude. I asked our football team to keep Jacob, his family, and his "football-family in their thoughts."

"Dear Jared, Matthew, Michael and Wendy, Your family has such a special place in my heart. There are no words to describe how saddened I am by your loss. Know that my prayers are with you, as they so often have been since you came into my life years ago when I was lucky enough to be Jared and Matthew's teacher. Your faith will guide you! Know that I am here if you need to visit! Our home has an open door for you if you need some time away from Michigan! Love, Dorla Herrod 307-899-4356"

"Mike,Wendy,Boys- We hurt with you. The whole community is hurting too. Our prayers are with you--Iris and Ron"

"Mike & Wendy, Our prayers are with you during this extremely sad time. Karl & Lynn"

"I am so saddened, there are no words I can say that can comfort your pain. I will be praying for God's gentle touch to bring comfort and strength to you in the weeks ahead."

"Mike, Wendy, Matt, Jared, Our hearts are aching for you. We are so sorry. Jake meant so much to Trey and Taylor. We are so thankful for the memories of last summer when Jay took Jake and Trey fishing, and for the summer that he came and stayed the week with us. We are comforted by knowing Jake is in Heaven. May God give you strength at this time. Our prayers are with all of you."

"There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go. ~Author Unknown God Bless your family, Mike, Wendy, Matt and Jared. I have so many wonderful memories of the time I spent with your boys. Jacob was a ray of sunshine in our days, a leader, and a compasionate sweet boy. Know that he is loved and missed. Best wishes Ms. Amanda"

"Mike, Wendy and family, We love you and cannot find the words to express our sorrow. We do know that every once in a while, God needs a kind, nice, and strong young man to lend him a hand in heaven. When he does, he always seems to choose the very best. We know Jacob is with Him in Heaven. Rich Rita, Rhonda & Rainger"

"May the Lord bring you strength and comfort during this time of sorrow. You all are in our prayers. We pray, that even though the Lord took Jacob home to be with him at such a young age, his family be comforted in the knowledge that Jacob was a witness to others of our Lord's tremendous love, mercy, grace and kindness. Jacob made an impact in everyone's life, whether large or small. Please accept our condolences and know that our prayers will continue to lift you all up to God, that he may bring you strength and comfort. Vicki, Mike, David and Mike"

"Mike, Wendy and Family- Our thoughts and prayers are with you, and we are deeply saddened with your loss. God Bless"

"Prevost family ~ words cannot express the sorrow that fills our hearts for your loss. We will continue to pray for your families comfort and peace throughout this difficult time. Jacob has touched so many lives in a positive way. You must all be so proud of your boy. Great parenting produces great kids, you both did a fabulous job."

"Praying for strength for you through this time. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family."

""When tomorrow starts without me, & Im not there to see your eyes full of tears showing your love for me, I wish you wouldn't cry so much, the way you did that day, thinking of the many things we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, And each time you think of me, I'm thinking of you too. So when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, An angel came& called my name, & took me by my hand. It was time for me to take my place, in heaven far above, leaving everyone behind, especially the ones I love. As I turned & walked away, a tear fell from my eye, remembering the life I lived & why I had to die. I do not want to go, with having so much to do, it seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you. So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think that we're apart, for everytime you think of me, just look within your heart.""

"Mike, Wendy, Jared and Matt, Our hearts go out to you for your loss. We are continually praying for you and will contine during this time. We were reflecting during a time of prayer for you all today stories, of those who have gone to heaven and how some have come back to tell of that wonderful place and how some have had dreams of their loved one in heaven bringing much comfort. We know Jake is in an awesome place but will be greatly missed by you all. Let his life inspire you to do great things for Christ. Blessings and the peace of Christ be on all of you during this time. your friends, Mark, Sharmila, Charisma and Reed Anderson"

"Dr. Prevost & family - I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I hope you find strength in his memories and each other. Stacia, RN"

"You are in our thoughts and prayers."

"Mike & Wendy ~ We are so very sorry to hear about your loss. There are no words. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you! In Him ~ The Pharmer Family"

"Wendy and Mike, No words can comfort you at this time, but your faith can. Remember Jacob for all of his motivation, energy, and clever mind! God's purpose...here and now maybe unclear, but we can all hope for some positive to come out of it. We must not only pray, but we must expect God to perform miracles of restoration in all relationships between family members and friends who need to communicate love towards each other, but need a healing of heart and mind to leave all barriers in the past forever. For now, please take your time to focus on the celebration of Jacob's life and pace yourself through mourning his absence. We are here when you are ready or just need to talk to a brother or sister that will listen, just call. Love, Warren & Tricia Wasnich"

"I really don't know you, but I am sure you are truly missed. I am sure you were a great person. Play football with the angles! Love and Prayer to your family. Kayla Marie"

"Wendy, I can't quite remember how we met - maybe the Mom's Inc group plus some moonlight skis. I just heard the news about your precious son - I am so sorry for your loss. Such a tragic and sudden thing to happen. God will sustain you through this. May his wings shield and carry you. You will be in my thoughts and I will be praying for you."

"Our deepest sympathy on the loss of your precious son. He made such an incredibly positive impact on so many people during his short life & his memory will live on. May you find peace & comfort in knowing he is now in the arms of the Lord, in that beautiful place we call Heaven. God bless you all."

"Mike, Wendy, Jared and Matt: It's so incredibly hard to wrap my brain around why this happened. As I think about Jake's life I can't help but marvel at the fact that in his short 15 years of life he displayed faith, friendship, happiness, caring and love more obviously than people who live three times as long! I knew him mostly through the time he played Upward Basketball and sold me Renaissance cards for Redman Football ~ but his smile I will always remember! May God wrap his arms around you tightly and see you through this time, and may you know that in his young life he touched many lives ~ what a gift!!"

"My dear old friends, the kids and I are so saddened to hear of your loss. Jacob had such a joyful, gracious spirit. Our hearts go out to you. May you find depths of grace and comfort and somehow feel our love reaching through the miles. There is a Jacob sized hole in our universe. Love to you from Skyler, Bekah, Kait and me."

"Please accept my condolences on the loss of your son. He sounds like a remarkable young man. We lost our beloved daughter earlier this summer, so we can understand your intense pain and suffering. May you find comfort in all the great memories, family amd friends, and most importantly from God above. Your son now rests in the arms of God."

"Wendy my heart is full of sadness for you at this time. A loss like this is so hard to comprehend. I am sending daily prayers to you and your family. Healing will take time but you have all those great memories of Jake forever."

"Wendy, My prayers go out to you and your family. What a terrible tragedy. I have gathered from your annual Christmas letters what an amazing young man Michael was and cannot begin to imagine your loss. May friends, family and the Lord help you along this path. Love, Bridgette"

"Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury,pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;"

"Our heart's just broke!! So sorry Mike & Wendy! Steve lost his Daughter Sara when she was 12 and it's one of those things that nobody will understand the pain in your heart from loosing your own child. Stay strong in the Lord together with your friends and Family at your side Mike And Wendy"

"Parents of Jake Prevost I had the pleasure of knowing Jake since sixth grade and he was always the kid that put a smile on my face when I was having a hard time. I enjoyed playing freshman football with him he always asked me if I was having a good time and helping me through football. Jake's nickname for me was Howie because my last name is Howard. I loved having Jake as a freind and my prayers are with you and your family, I hope to see your son one day soon up in Heaven. I am sory you had to loose such a wonderful star."

"Dr. Prevost - Our deepest sympathy to you and your family on the loss of your son. We will never know why God chooses those who are special to join Him in heaven so early in life. But He does. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. God bless you all!"

May the comfort of the Holy Spirit and the peace that passes understanding be your strength. We love you guys and will continue to hold you up in our prayers. Always, Tim & Jill, Sierra, Madison, & Sophe Morrow"

"Jake, we were friends but not very close. We hungout maybe once or twice. You were an EXTREMELY hard worker and when you wanted something you did it, no matter what anyone else said. You touched the lives of many and you will NEVER be forgotten. I love you buddy! "

"I am so sorry about the loss of Jake. I have very fond memories of him when he participated on the Bothwell Middle School track team."

"So shocked and saddened to hear of Jacob's passing. My deepest sympathy to Wendy and her family. May you find the strength and courage to carry on."

"Words cannot express how much I hurt for you right now. It's not right for a parent to have to bury their child. It's too awful to even imagine and I don't know how you can do it. But I do know one thing. God is sufficient. He doesn't give us strength or courage or peace ahead of time. He gives when we need it and when we ask. So, pray even when you have no words. Let His Spirit comfort you. Allow your friends to be there for you. We love you and don't know what to say to help, but if you want to talk or pray or cry or wail, we are right here with you."

"Dr. Prevost and Family, Words can not express my sadness. I am so very sorry for your loss. May you find peace and comfort with God's help."

"Dr. Prevost and Family: As evidenced by previous comments, the loss of Jake has had a profound effect on this community. We can only imagine the overwhelming grief you must be feeling. We don't have the answer as to why this heart-wrenching tragedy occurred and why it had to happen to such wonderful people. All we know is that Jake will live on forever in your hearts and provide you comfort when you need it most. He left behind an impressive imprint on this world that will not be forgotten by those who knew him."

"Prevost Family- May God be with your family and comfort you through this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you."

"Mike, Wendy and boys, Kirk and I are praying for you each day. We are so sad to hear about Jacob. It is so difficult to understand why God takes some of us home so soon. We are keeping you close to our hearts daily. Love Kirk and Lisa Bott"

"Jake - The loss of you is so so terrible! But I am also so grateful for the life you shared with all of us - thanks for always being you - your amazing spirit - your laughter, your teasing, your love of your family and love of Jesus, Save me a seat in Heaven - Love you love you love you! Aunt Mary Fran and Colette"

"Aunt Mary Fran says it ALL. Jake was all of that in the little time we knew him. His smile was so contagious and warming. Our heartfelt sympathy for Michael, Wendy, Jared and Matt."

"What a great young man you turned out to be. Last time I saw you, I was marveling at how polite, and respectful you were. I will miss you so much, Jacob!! See you in Heaven, love Aunt Jae"

"Jake would always run up to me and yell "Connie" as he hopped in to the car for a ride or just if he saw me at the gym or field. He loved life and lived his with laughter and light. He has touched so many lives. He will missed."

"We will cherish the smiles that were shared by Jake at the Barr family holidays/get togethers we at together. Your family has been in our thoughts and prayers. Bernie, Jennifer, Chelsea, Cody, Destiny and Jack"

"Dear Prevost Family, I'm sure you know how special your son was to so many people. He was always smiling. He would yell "Hi Karla" or "Hi Nick's mom" across the field and be waving to make sure I saw him. I always looked forward to seeing Jake. He just had a way of brightening your day. Nick would come home and tell me about something funny that Jake had done or said and then would add "I love that kid!" He was a favorite of Cassidy's because he always included her and made her feel like she was part of the group - even if she was the "little sister". We sure will miss him and our hearts are breaking for you. God Bless You, The Kamrada Family Chris, Karla, Courtney, Nick and Cassidy"

"Our thoughts and prayers go to the Prevost Family, Jake will be deeply missed, especially all the wonderful greetings Jake gave my family and I. He will be greatly missed, and will never be forgotten."

"Dear Mike, Wendy, Matt, and Jared, Jake was a wonderful person, a great friend, he had a great heart, always made others smile, and had an amazing love for God; He was a truly Incredible person. He will be greatly missed, and never forgotten. Thank You so much for raising him, because he turned out great! Jake lived his life to the fullest, he dreamed big, tried his hardest to reach his goals, made great friends along the way, and then raced into Christ's arms. Jake was in our lives for a reason, I know the reason he was in my life, he got me to go to Lake Ellen Bible Camp for the first time, and without him I wouldn't of had my safe place when I was younger, I wouldn't be as strong in my faith, and I wouldn't have found my favorite place on Earth, and that is all Thanks to him! Because God put someone as special as Jake in our life's. I know its hard for him not being here today, but think of how much he Loved, and cared for all of you! I know he would have wanted us to all think of the great memories we had with him, and smile, because even though he isn't with us now, he can still make us smile, because he is with us in thought, and memory. He will still always be your Son/Brother, and nothing will ever change that; Jake is in a great place right now, and one day you will see him again, you will get to hold him in your arms, tell him how much you missed him, and how much you love him. I Love You all so much, I will be praying for you; remember God is holding you all too, he will never leave your side, and he will always be your shoulder to cry on. Your Friend, Jodie L. Vultaggio "

"I may not have known him, but from what i had heard he was an amazing young man. prayers to him and to the family. may he be remembered by all for all time."

"Jake, You are missed more than anyone can imagine. I know you are rejoicing with our Lord. We'll see you soon, buddy! I promise that I will take extra care of your mom. We love you!! The Charmley's"

"Jake was a special young man who could always put a smile on your face! He had a gift of making everyone his friend and motivating people to do their best. He touched the lives of everyone who were fortunate to meet and know him. His enthusiasm was contagious and he always strived to be the very best at what he did. We will miss Jake but he will always be in our memories and our hearts. God bless you Jake!!"

"Jake always had a smile on his face and a joke to make you laugh. He was an amazing guy and even though he is gone, he will never be forgotten.. My thoughts and prayers go out to the prevost family! RIP Jake "

"Jake & Matthew certainly have come a long way since their first meeting as 3rd grade buddies when Matthew wasn't so sure about him "cuz he doesn't really sit still very well" We feel so blessed that they had the chance to move past buddies to football teammates and such close friends. So many fun memories of them hanging out, playing football, and laughing; our time in Appleton & going to our first arena football game. Jake's smile and energy and enthusiasm for life will always be a part of us. Thank you for raising such wonderful boys and for allowing us to be blessed by them."

"Jake you were an amazing kid! I miss you so much but I know that you are in a better place now and you are chillin up in heaven! I love you and miss you more then you will ever know. Save a spot for me up there in heaven!"

"It's weird to know that you wont be around the halls anymore. That I wont be able to see you smile. Everytime i seen you, you would never have a frown.You always had a joke to crack. Always was the class clown. But teachers still loved you. And so did so many people. We are all going to miss you. we are all going to be sad. But what i have noticed from jake is that he wouldn't want us to be sad. But we are going to. We will cry and mourn. We are going to miss him. You will be in our heart forever Jake. R.I.P"

"We've never met, but as a parent my heart goes out to your entire family. We will think of you and pray for you often. Jacob was an absolutely handsome young man. Everyone loved him and spoke highly of him."

"Jacob was truly a gift from God. Everyone who knew him, knew how special he was. We will miss his smile and sense of humor. We consider ourselves lucky to have known such a fine young man. We will see you again one day Jake. Love,"

"Dear Prevost Family, Our thoughts and prayers go out to you. My nephew, Dylan Wernholm, knew Jacob and had nothing but nice things to say about him. We don't always understand at a time like this, but we do know that God is in control. It sure sounds like Jacob was a wonderful young man who loved the Lord and touched many lives. May you find comfort in knowing that he is with our Lord and Savior. I believe his light will shine on and lives will be touched in some way by this, and God's great purpose will be served. We pray that God will grant you peace in knowing that this separation from Jacob is only temporary. With our deepest sympathy, in Christian love, Patty & Rob Ward Lucille Wernholm Iron River, MI"

"Dear Prevost Family, We are truly sorry for youy loss. We pray for healing for your entire family. It is obvious that Jacob touched the lives of many people in a positive way. Our son, Josh, speaks very highly of him and tells us he was a strong football player. We are so very sorry. The Bullocks Randy, Vickie, Josh and Cassie"

"Dear Prevost Family, May God be with you all during this difficult time. Jake was a treasure to the entire community, one of those special people who could light up any room and make people feel better just by having him near. His legacy is amazing, and I know how proud you all were of his accomplishments. He was always Senja's #1 Fan at whatever sport was in season. We could always count on the young man in the stands to shout out, " Yeah Senja/we love you Senja/nice job Senja!", with that unbridled smile always evident. Or the way that he was always there as her dance date the last couple years - we will treasure the pictures forever. It is truly amazing to see the impact Jake had on so many lives, a true testament to your family. Senja told us Saturday morning, well, they're laughing up in Heaven this morning. While the sorrow is difficult to bear now, please rejoice in the wonderful gift God bestowed on us all in sharing Jake with the world. Gods peace."

"Dr. Prevost and Family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I can't imagine the sorrow you are feeling. God will help you through this time and my prayers will be with you."

"Dear Wendy and Family; My heartfelt sorrow and prayers are with you all. I cannot imagine the pain and grief you are experiencing. If there is anything you need or that I can do for you, please let me know."

"I pray for peace, and God's comfort as you go through this tragedy. God bless you all."

"To the Prevost Family, I am truely sorry for the loss of your son and brother...I know there are no words that can be said during this painful time that can take the hurt away. May you embrace those around you during these trying times and know that many people have Jake and you all in their thoughts and prayers. Jakes spirit and memory will live on thru you all."

"Dr. Prevost and Family I am so deeply sorry for your loss, My thoughts and prayers go out to you at this time of sorrow, May God be with you and comfort you at this time of such sorrow."

"I wish i had a chance to get to know Jake better. I was really excited to be working with him in Childcare. He was truly a great kid. Praying for God's blessing, strength and comfort for everyone in his family."

"My son, Andy Steinhauer, was terribly saddened and shocked to hear about this tragic accident and loss of life! Our boys went to school together and had a Spanish class together last year. I have two boys that ride 4-wheelers regularly. I pray that this will be a constant reminder to be careful and ride using safety measures. I cannot imagine your pain! But you must know that your son touched the lives and hearts of many! You should be so very proud! May God be with you and give you strength! My heart aches for you and your family! May you find comfort in these words and the truly kind words of all these people whose lives were touched by your darling boy!!! With great sadness, Candace Ruusi"

"Ive known Jake since 6th grade. And the thing i loved most about him, was that he was nice to everyone, and he could cheer you up with one quick smile. His laugh will be missed this year, and the class of 2014 will never be the same. RIP Jake, we miss you."

"Please accecpt our deepest sympathy Wendy, Mike, Matthew and Jared! This is such a tragic loss that no words could even describe and we are so sorry! Jacob obviously touched so many lives. Dominic describes Jacob as "the nicest guy he has ever met." I saw the motivator in him with all the texts he sent Dominic to tell him what football event was coming up next, continuously encouraging the weight lifting. Jake has made a lasting impression and will be in our hearts forever. We are praying for strength and peace to you all! All our love, The Stanchina Family"

"Dr. Prevost and family, Words are not adequate to express my sadness for your loss of Jake. Zelda"

"Dearest Prevost Family Mike, Wendy, Matt, and Jared I am crushed as are so many by this loss. My heart aches for you, for Jakes countless friends, and for myself because Jake made all our lives so much richer. After reflecting deeply on who Jake was, I find myself uttering words like: courageous, playful, energetic, whimsical, joyful, determined, and, then Exuberant. Yes! Thats the one. Jake was exuberant, and unapologetically himself. Recently, while my mother was visiting, Jake saw me, raised in arms in his usual exuberant salutation, and shouted my name. My mother said, Oh, Kimberly, the kids like you! I replied, grinning, That one does"

"Jake is the only student Ive ever had who required a parent meeting because he was simply too darn funny. Now, some children think theyre funny and come to trouble that way, but Jake was genuinely hilarious, and his teachers found it distracting. I remember telling him, Youre making it tough for me, Jake, because I love to laugh, and I dont want you to stop being funny. But there are some times when you have to keep it to yourself. And he became a student of controlling his impulses, such that his ninth grade teachers had nothing but fantastic things to say about him truly, his name would come up out of the blue and just this morning, Coach Tiz told me what a great motivator Jake was for the JV football team. A hard worker. A kid who got it."

"Because I dont presume to understand why something like this happened, I have been focusing on what I can learn from Jakes brief but incredible time here. Jake didnt hold back his affection or enthusiasm; he was cool precisely because he was so comfortably himself. Jake lived with zeal, and saw the infinite humor in things, often pointing it out to others for which I will be forever grateful. He was kind to so many, and cheered people up through his very demeanor. His is a life worth reflecting on, and he will live on in our memories as that exuberant young man urging us towards living and laughing with abandon."

"Dear Doc and family, Deepest sympathy at the loss of Jacob. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow."

"I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I can not imagine what you are going through. I do know that His peace goes beyond understanding. You are remembered here in Cody and being prayed for."

"Dear Prevost Family, I am completely heartbroken at the loss of Jacob. I got to know him for about five years when I taught as a teen at LSCC's Superior Summer program. It is so hard for me to accept that his beaming smile on that freckled face is gone from this earth. However, as I look foward to graduating as an Christian elementary teacher next spring, I have been incredibly inspired through his death to make the most of every oppurtunity that I get to share the gospel with and to love with a fierceness every child that comes my through my classroom. Life is precious; Life is hard - but God is good. See you later someday,Jacob."

"Jake walked into my classroom with a smile on his face every day. He never said a mean word to anyone and encouraged all. This tragic accident can not be explained; however, I know that God must have a plan. My heart goes out to the Prevost family and to all that were fortunate enough to know Jake."

"To The Prevost Family, We are so sorry to hear of the loss of Jacob. Our prayers and thought of with all during this time of your sorrow. God be with all. Faye & LeRoy Maki"

"Jake was an amazing young man that loved life. He was an inspiration to all of us. Jake will be remembered as a loving, kind, motivating, happy, wonderful young man that truly brought out the best in others. Our hearts go out to his parents, brothers and other family members. May the love and precious memories guide you to honor him by living life to the fullest. Much love, the St. Cyr Family"

"We know that you will live on with the Lord. Rest in Peace. The St. Cyr Family"
