Condolences for Jacob Steven Martin
I am so sorry for the family loss Jacob a.k.a. tuna was an amazing person had a heart of gold I got to know him really good from Bowling. Many of us are very sad to hear of his passing. he touched many hearts. He was a great friend.
You will be so missed and you were loved by so many. It’s definitely not going to be the same in the “hood” without you in it. I hope you are having a heck of a party with your Mom, Nick and the other friends and family you reconnected with there. Rest in peace Jacob and sure love you
I met Jacob in high school, then working at piezanos. He always made the environment we were in warm and it was always a delight when we crossed paths again. As I’ve thought about all the loss of many friends in this last almost two decades the theme I see is those with the biggest hearts and warm hugs have gone into the light. It doesn’t make the grief any easier but it gives me hope in believing that maybe the shortness of their lives was to shed as much light as possible and maybe they had to go back into the light to recharge only to help the next generation of lives they touch. Sending all my light and love to your family.
Jacob, what a gem. So many great times shared with literally everyone. You made a foot print in all ours lives.
May you be at peace, and enjoy only sunny days from here on out. You will be truly missed.
Jacob always had a smile on his face. Loved working with him through UNL. Rest in peace Jacob.
Rest in Peace Jake! Tell your Mom hi for me! Much love to the Martin family and friends
Jacob you were such a great friend and an even better friend. You touched more people’s lives than you may even know. Rest in peace man.
Sending deep condolences and love to Jacob’s family and loved ones. I went to middle school with him and while our paths didn’t cross as adults, I remember him well for his bright smile and constant kindness. I am deeply sorry to hear of Jacob’s passing. He was a diamond in the rough. Rest in peace, Jacob.
Enjoyed working with Jacob at UNL. Always a pleasure to work with. He will be missed! RIP
Jacob was such a sweet kid and friend to our beloved Nicholas. He lived down the street and was friends with him for many years. May they soar together with the angels. 🙏😇🙏
