Guys,

Words cannot say the pain that I am feeling right now. Jake means a great deal to me and to alot of you guys. I want you to all know that I am here for you all. We are all here for one another. Jake was our brother and we will remember him always. I want to include an email from Mosh and Jessie.

quote: "Jake has passed away due to illness. Jake loved you all. I know he would want you all to live good lives. He is on a good spirit journey and will always be with all of us. In my tribe we think on the good things of those that pass and not of our own loss. There was so much good in Jake. I know he will be watching over all of us. Respectfully, Jessie and Omastewin"

Nathan, we never can understand the reasons why things come to be. Only Tunkasila Wakan Tanka can know that. We can only accept what comes our way and continue on a good path. But if you wish to honor Jake then tonight before you eat, place a small bit of food on a plate and set it under a tree facing west. It is our way, its called wopila which is a sacred kind of thank-you and its known as feeding the spirits and that would honor Jake.

lots of love, Nathan
 
I'm sure that Tunkasila Wakan Tanka will cast an eye across the Atlantic to the huge Scots Pine in our garden tonight.

Jake will be sadly missed.

I had to look this up and read it. I think it was the last public message from Jake.

I find some comfort that he felt so good and strong and was looking ahead with wonder and happiness.


Jake\'s message
 
Lil bro bear (((jake)))

ste loves you and he always will miss his lil bro.
No words can speak the sadness and emptiness he feels inside of himself.

You light up the darkness, you fill life with light, and that of the the spirits within, lift you from darkness into the spirit World.

Youre chains are broken, they are no more, the shackles are broken, and you are free as a bird, and you are at one, with the spirit Gods,

I loved you bro,

God, this hurts. As much as yesterday, if not more.

Fare ye well, little bro. And I'm sure you're in Heaven because lord knows ye deserve it.

Hope I'll meet you by Jerusalem's Gate.

((((((((((((Jake))))))))))))

Love,

Scot
 
I did not know Jake, now I do from reading his last post (thanks for providing the link Don). My heart is absolutely broken. I cry for the suffering Jake had to endure but rejoice that he was able to find strength and peace in his final days. He was generous to have shared those thoughts of hope with us.

I will feed the spirits tonight in honor of Jake, indeed, in honor of all of survivors' spirits.
Be at Peace Jake - John
 
I met Jake in chat after reading his horrible life story. I felt like, Why am I even here at this site? I don't deserve to be here. What I went through was nothing compared with what Jake went through. And in his broken typing, Jake said that wasn't true. That no matter what we've been through, we didn't deserve to be hurt, and we did deserve to be here to heal with our brothers. A man who went through hell. Comforting me over a few incidents of SA and a bad family.

Jake deserves peace. My hope is that he'll get a first chance at life again in a world of peace. No scars, no memories, and no disease. Jake was good, and I'll miss him.
 
I have posted a tribute mp3 in spirituality forum.

It is a song called Goodbye old friend, by Karla Bonoff, I forget who sent it, but it is there for 7 days.

It is sad and profound,

thanks for linking Jakes post.

The whole post is so positive and inspiring, not just for the last few weeks of Jakes tragically short life, but for it's message of hope to ALL of us.

Jake was RIGHT, we can recover from this shit we were dealt, we WILL recover!

Guys,

I sit here looking back at that Jake has given me, given us. How could such a abused and hurt man be so loving? How could he on his death bed be concerned for us? How could someone like Jake teach us so much? Jake always gave of himself first and would do anything for us. If I could only be half that man he was.

Jake I know you can hear me and I want you to know that I am going to live your dream. I am going to live a life of joy and happness. I am going to honor you the only way I know how by living a good life.

lots of love, Nathan
 
I really have no words at the time. I'm still in shock and disbelief right now. All day I have been in denial. All I can do to honor Jake is to remember him, and live my life to its very fullest. I know that that is what would make him happy.

For those of you that didn't know Jake; Jake was the kindest person that I have ever known. No matter how many times he was kicked down, he kept getting back up, and he would encourage me to get back up too. Not very long ago, I was having a really bad night, it didn't even matter that Jake was having a bad time too, he would always be there, always take the time to help someone else. I sent him some text messages and he sent some back, then he gave me a call because I was still having a hard time. He has saved my life countless times, and has always given me the encouragement I need to move forward. He was the most giving, selfless, person that I have ever known. The last text message that I got from him was "Hug Bro."

He used to always say to me that "we will get through this together bro," and we still will. Your spirit will live on, I know that you will be with all of us in our darkest hours, and our greatest, you will certainly remain in my heart forever.

Your bro, forever,

Jon
 
To all Jake's brothers and friends,

I never knew Jake, as I was still quite new here when he left I think. But what a tremendous influence he was and remains in all your lives; that I can see so clearly. It is a moving experience to see you rallying around each other to cope with this terrible loss. Lots of love and hugs to each and every one of you.

It - not the person whom I knew. My meetings of people here are limited to difficulties of communication, and it makes it also rather difficulty to make attempt ' rooms for discussions '. But I know, that he was the good person, there are no not good people here. And it, he has much, mentions on many people here, including people for which I care very much. I most of all regret to everyone who has this loss.

Jake sent me a personal email about how he was doing on the reservation and I shall keep it always. He and I talked a lot by pm. He was a truly brave young man and I shall carry his memory with me forever.

I am reminded of another. SeaOtter who though he was dying continued to help others on this site until the very last. Jake did that. Always caring and helpful to others.
 
Brothers,

This is a note from Mosh and Jessie.

Thank-you all for your love, support and posts, poetry, pms and messages. It means a great deal to us. His spirit is strong and is with us, watching over us all, with all the love he shared so freely. The healing and freedom from his abuse that he sought for himself is what he wanted for all his brothers, he loved you all very much. May his strength be an inspiration, his love a guiding light and his determination a reminder of hope for a better future. Mitakuye Oyasin ( all our relations) with respect and love, Mosh and Jessie
