Jacob Crookston Obituary

Scott and Shelle, Barry McMullin here - my thoughts have been with you since my learning of Jake's passing. Know this - you are loved. And he was loved. Mortality has its twists and turns ... much of it not anticipated nor expected. However, our Heavenly Father shows us "macro love" in "micro moments". Enjoy the small moments of love that you have in your memory of Jake and live for the small moments of love that will fill your heart as the days progerss. Godspeed. -Barry

I am sorry for your loss, may God's spirit be with you at this time of need.

I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Jake, but I often saw his smiling face in the halls at Doherty. Everyone I've spoken to who knew him said he was just a great kid.

I am so sorry for your loss. My daughter and I express our deepest sympathy and send our thoughts, prayers and love to you during this difficult time.

From someone who lost a young son no words will every fill the hole that is left in your heart, but the reassurance that others know what you are going through, now and in the future was comforting. We will keep your family and all who were close to Jake in our daily prayers!

So sorry for your loss. Praying for you.

I am so sorry. He was my only friend in elemgary school. He was the best person that I have ever known. I'm so sorry.
