    There are no words to express our sorrow at the passing of Jake. Losing someone is difficult but to lose a child is one of the most devastating losses that I can imagine. You and your family are in our prayers and thoughts. May God’s love surround you at this difficult time.

  31. Lori, Kevin & Family, I have no words to adequately express my sadness over the loss of your dear son Jake. I watched him grow up and he was always so polite and helpful to me. I remember him as part of the dynamic “Pilla boys” duo always ready for a neighborhood soccer game and more.
    I pray for the angels to lift you up in this crushing time. May your faith help you through. Best Regards.

    We will always cherish our annual summer fun in the Lake of the Ozarks with your family. We have so many great memories whether is was swimming, fishing, grilling or boating! Jake was such a gentleman from the day we met him doing back flips at the pool to the last time we were together when he drove us home safely in the boat from Shady Gators! We always felt Jake’s love every time we met up for our week of Summer Fun! Rest in Peace Jake! God Bless you and your Family!

    I continue to pray for all of you, but even this doesn’t seem adequate to console you at this most difficult time! I am trusting in Jesus purpose and perfect plan for His children and know He is wrapping His strong and loving arms around each one of you as you face your sadness and loneliness, each in your own way!!! May you feel comforted, not by words, but in your heartfelt knowledge that Jake is in the presence of Jesus, being the Jake everyone knew and loved on earth…
    Until you meet again
