Jakob and a friend were riding their bikes across a freeway offramp in the unincorporated area of Long Beach when they were struck by a Target big rig. Jakob was trapped beneath the trailer, and was killed to the horror of the many witness at the busy intersection.

Some details can be found with searching; it happened almost three years ago and we still don’t really know why this happened. We may never understand “Why”…but we do know “where”…..RIP in heaven Jakob….we love you..

Since most of Jake’s pix and comments were hacked away, I’m reposting his photos from his childhood years.

The original website we had for Jakob got hacked, and lots of wonderful comments were lost. I’ve started over again, and will begin with posts from his adult years.

The spot where Jake was killed, mourners met to grieve.

Was only two months before that Grandpa Gordon died suddenly; here Jake and Dawson are in Sequoia where Dad was most fond.
