Jen, you and your family are in my thoughts every day. I am so sorry you are going through this, but we are here to support you. Let us know how we can help. You are truly a dear friend. I really wanted to be there today for you.

We met Jake as a very young boy, along with his brother Aidan. My husband still remembers how helpful both boys were as he and Chris assembled the crib in our new apartment to help us welcome our first born. Kevin. Chris and Jen, we are deeply sorry for your loss. Our heart is with you. We pray that you, along with Aidan, find comfort, peace, and hope in time.

Chris, Time has passed since we last saw each other. You have e done a wonderful job raising your son. I knew you’d be a good father. My deepest sympathy to you and your entire family. I can’t imagine what you are going through. I only know that God will give you the strength to get through this. Your memories will last forever.

I met Jake this year. Although it was not a lot of time, I quickly grew to admire his easygoing nature and enjoyed the handful of nights me, Jake, and Aiden spent hanging out together. Jake was a legend, and It saddens me to think that we will never get a chance to all be on campus together. I think I speak for everyone when I say he will be remembered fondly.

Jake, what a kind respectful young man! Often when students move on to the high school from their junior high days, they often do not acknowledge or speak to their old (music)teachers, but Jake was never that way! Whenever our paths would cross he would always smile and take the time to tell me how his day was going and ask about mine. He was a wonderful person, and a good friend to my son. Jake will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Saying prayers for his family.

While I may not have known Jake for that long I know he was a great guy and a good friend. My condolences and support go out to the Daly family and his friends.

Beyond saddened at the loss of such a truly kind and genuinely nice young man. I had the pleasure of working as Jake (and Aiden’s) manager at TMSC. Jake always had a smile on his face and was friends with EVERYONE! I pray for love peace and comfort for your entire family through this most difficult time🙏. Jake and his smile will never be forgotten

We were so sorry to hear about Jake. We’ve known him mostly through our granddaughters at Holy Cross. He was always so friendly and respectful. Last summer he told us about his sailing trip to the islands with his dad. We hope the many happy memories bring you some peace.
Addy - Jun 24, 2024
You always told me you were here for a good time not a long time and neither of us realized how true that was until it was too late. Our friendship was a highlight of my senior year and words can’t express how grateful I am to have gotten to call myself your friend. I’ll miss you forever <3

My condolences are with your family during this tragic time. In grade school, Jake was such a good friend with the best humor, and heart. He grew into such an amazing young adult and it’s clear he has an impact on so many people. May Jake rest in peace, and your family takes all the time to heal.

Dear Jennifer and family, I'm so very sorry for your loss of your beloved son Jake. May the happy memories sustain you now and forever.

Chris & Jen, Words can't express my feelings having heard the news about Jake or how you are feeling right now. Find comfort in knowing that Our Lord has finally welcomed Jake home. I’d like to believe he was greeted with the words we all wait our whole life to hear, “Well done, my good and faithful one. Welcome to the place where you belong. Well done, my beloved child. You have run the race and now you’re home. Welcome to the place where you belong.” Today, as hard as it may be, no longer mourn his passing, but in turn “Celebrate His Life” and the footprint he has left on so many hearts! Thoughts and Prayers to you and your family during this time.
