Still seems unreal that my friend is no longer here. Try my best and handle each and everyday. There are small things that remind me of him. Remebering all the childhood memories together .

I wish I wish my friend was still here with us. Seems so unreal. I have attended his grave site once and just doesnt seem like it. Can't stop thinking about him. Miss you Jacob

Even now I'm still in disbelief that such a great young man left us so abruptly. I'm glad I got to see the Fidge family this weekend and spend time with them. I wish circumstances were different when I went to visit but I was glad to see everyone was so strong and unified. I cannot express the pain I feel and I tried my best to remain strong around you guys because I know you are all in a stage where you must heal and try to look ahead. This of course with the memory and love for Jacob which I know will never cease. He will remain in all of our hearts and his spirit will live within you all. As parents no one could be more proud of a child and a sister no one could be more proud of a little brother. He loved you all very much and I know you all did too. In the time I got to know all of you I saw the bonds you all had with him. The bond you all shared were as strong as I've ever seen with any family. You all share something a lot of families don't get to have in an entire lifetime and Jacob got to experience it. There is no better gift.

I love you all and will see you soon,
Ruben Vinalay

To the Fidge Family,

I thank GOD for the BLESSING of meeting Jacob in elementary school. At an early age his wonderful real view of life oftened amazed me. I have no doubts that Jacob truly lived life and was a drum major to others to live life.
Sincerely
Odessia H. Ross

Thank you all for sharing with us your memories. We are still in awe of the amount of people that Jacob touched in his short time here. As parents you are always guiding and teaching your children and from all of your comments about your experience's with him we now know that we got it right, that we taught him well. Thank you to those that had the courage to speak at his funeral it meant so much to us all. And many thanks to our family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, Jacob's employer, Directional Rental and to Courtnie's husband David that was such a rock for me during this difficult time and to his family that has given us so much support.  I will miss his smile, his smell, his hugs, his voice, and most of all "Love ya Mom".  
Thank you for loving him.

Lifting up all loved ones in prayer. Jacob was a most precious child, who is now in the loving arms of our Lord, may you all receive his comfort and peace that passes all understanding.

To the Fidge family,
Although you already known what a great person Jacob was you should know I have never met a more friendly, sincere, and loving person. In the short time I knew him as my upstairs neighbor in Casper, Wyoming he made such an impact. He was always so nice and willing to help my room mates and I with anything. He had a huge heart and an especially soft spot for our puppies that he always offered to "babysit", I even remember one specific time when he called himself "Uncle Fidge". I will miss seeing his huge smile every morning when we passed in the parking lot to go to work. I just wanted you to know how much I appretiated him. You all are in my heart and prayers.

Gina & Dennis, my heart goes out to you at this tragic time. Love and hugs to you both. Gina, please call me if you ever need a shoulder. Love you hon <3

I am so very sorry for your loss. I only had a short time with Fidge through work but the time I got with him was worth every minute. He was very hard working and very dedicated and fun to be around and work with. I was one of the people with him that day throwing the football in the yard that Mike Domino spoke about at the servise, Fidge sure had an arm on him. Words cant tell how sorry I am for your loss, just know he will be missed by a lot of people and all of the people at Directional Rentals.

With sincere and heartfelt sympathy in your time of sorrow.  I am so sorry to hear about your loss.  You're in my thoughts and in my prayers.  May God bless you and your family.

Dennis and Gina,
Our prayers are with all of you.  A life taken away from all who loved him way too early.  Jacob left a mark on so many which was reflective in the turnout the past days.  God wrapped his arms around your daughter today and gave her the strength and courage to eulogize her brother.  Her poise was remarkable.  Know that you raised a wonderful son.  His smile was infectious and love for life was exciting.  Jacob played ball with both Kendall and Keaton; they have wonderful and funny memories to carry with them.  God Bless all of you.  May God's grace shine on you today and the days to come. He will give you the strength you need to carry you.  All our love, Kent, Susan, Kendall and Keaton Hineman

Oh my dear cousin Gina I'am so so sorry of this news Praying for the whole family love yall Andria Keller Oklahoma

I was heart broken to hear of this tragedy. Although in the short time we had together we shared a great bond and a last friendship that I will value for the rest of my life. What can one say in times like these. Your loss was very great and he took a big piece of many peoples hearts with him. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. Jacob will be dearly missed.

 To see the number of friends and family hurting over this great loss tells what an effect he had on our lives. I was lucky enough to be on his team in high school. He was so full of life and happiness. My sympathy  goes to the family that raised a great young man.

To the Fidge family.  I remember Jacob from when he and my granddaughter Hailey who lived across the street from you,played together. I always thought he was a nice guy, gentle nature and very sweet. I meant to come over since I am at Julies, but didn't want to intrude. I want to express my condolences though to all of you, and say how sorry I am for your loss. God bless and keep Jacob, and all of you.
Sincerely
Sharon Schafer (Julie McMahan's mother)

We are sorry to hear about Jacob, I know he was a good boy, our Love and Prayers are with you. Adrian and Margie  (Onalaska, Tx.)

To the Fidge Family,
My son Matt played football with Jacob at ENMU. Jacob was there for Matt when he was diagnosed with cancer, during treatment and afterward when he tried to go back and play ball. He also came all the way from New Mexico with Matt and some of the other boys to walk in the Relay for Life on Matt's team. Jacob was an extraordinary young man and my heart and prayers go out to you during this time. I have listened to many stories and I know that he will be remembered by many, but I will remember him as an extremely loyal friend to my son when he needed one. Your family will remain in my prayers.

I had the opportunity to get to meet Jacob last year and have him be a big part of my life for a little while and I am So glad that I did. He  had an infectious smile and a heart of  gold. He will always have a special meaning to me. Many wonderful memories play over in my head and I can't help but I smile.  My deepest sympathy goes out to all who knew him and  loved him. He will be missed  always. RIP Jacob ( to me you will always be Jake. :) )  thank you for all the memories .

Mr. And Mrs. Fidge I would like to start by saying I am truly sorry for the loss of your son. Although I have never met you, I had the pleasure and honor of getting to know Jacob during his time in Casper. During the duration of his time here I grew to be close friends with Jacob and for that I will be forever thankful. He has had a tremendously large impact on my life as a co-worker and a dear friend. He had the most amazing out look on life that was very inspiring which I admired and took to heart. I loved your son so very much and will miss him dearly. He made me feel like we were friends our whole lives and treated me as such and for that I will be forever thankful to you both for raising such an outstanding man. I will never be able to put into words how deeply I am sorry for your families loss. My family will continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this time of loss.  Jacob will be missed by many, he had such a sweet smile.  May God wrap his arms around each of you and comfort you, rest in peace Jacob and continuing smiling down upon your family and friends, they will need signs from you that your doing okay in God's arms.

Words are so hard right now.  Jacob was so full of life, his smile shined throughout a room.  I will treasure all the times Nick, Jacob, Russell and Jordan stayed at the house, visited to wee hours in the morning, played pool and pool volleyball.  They definitely were a band of brothers.  Jacob is smiling with God now.  My thoughts and prayers go out to Dennis, Gina, Cortnie and Stephanie Johnson.

Melinda and Jimmie Jernigan, and Austin, Cade, Erin, and Garrett Leitko, and Wanda and Bill Tedrick

I only met Jacob a few times but he was a guy that you could never forget. He always had a smile on his face and kept everyone laughing. He was a best friend and a very special person to Corey and for that I am so grateful. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

My mom and I were fortunate enough to get to know Jacob when he played football with my brother. Every time he came over he had a smile on his face and was so sweet and polite. Even though I haven't seen him in awhile, I ask my brother about him every time we talk. He was just one of those people that instantly grabs your heart and you never forget. Mr. and Mrs. Fidge, you had an amazing son that was loved by everyone he met. Our prayers are with you and your family and Stephanie. I know that the Lord will take very good care of him.

Some of the best times in my life were with this man and I cant believe I cant make it tom... my prayers go out to stephanie, mrs gina, mr. David and courtney. I know he is watching over us all right now. Rest in piece buddy. You influenced us all.

Huge heart and smile, Jacob will be shining down on us from heaven. Sending prayers to his family and loved ones. ~Jay and Crystal Jackson

Our condolences go out to Fidge's family and friends. We met Fidge while he worked for Directional Rentals in Casper, WY. He came to our house for every holiday or gathering that we had. Trevor and him were an extension of our family and our two little girls loved "Uncle Fidge". Fidge had the purest heart and was such a great person to be around. He always had that great smile on his face and would go out of his way to help others. We will miss him and always remember the great times we got to spend with him. I am grateful our family got to meet such a great young man!

I am so sorry to hear of your loss.  My heart just breaks for you guys. Love you all.

It was a blessing to share the diamond and gridiron with Jacob. He worked hard and always had a smile on his face. We had a great time these past few months and I will always remember that. My heart goes out to the Fidge family in this tough time. He was a fun and loving guy and will be missed.

Shocked and Saddened. My heart hurts with my cousins and Aunt Jackie today.

I am deeply saddened to hear about Jacob's passing.  I will always remember Jacob's sweet smile and beautiful nature.  Your son was a beautiful person, inside and out, and he will be sorely missed.  God bless you and your family.

You raised a great young man. I don't think I could have asked for anyone better than Jacob to date my sister Stephanie . He was truly the great all around American kid. I am so sorry about your loss. My families and my prayers are with you. Jacob will truly be missed on Tim's ln.

I didn't really know Jacob that well as I was more his mother's friend but my first memory was going to a football game and watching him play.  He was fantastic and Gina as full of pride.  I also remember Gina and I going to her house late one night after a night of parting and Jacob and his friends being there and Gina having fun with them.  My heart goes out to Dennis and Gina they were good parents and from what I did know of Jacob they raised him right.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.  We are so sorry for your loss.
