Dear Holt Family - Whenever I look back on the wonderful memories and friends made in high school, Jake will always be the "brother" I had during those years. We were so close, but as it tends to happen, graduation occurred and we drifted apart. But I never forgot, nor ever will the countless great times we had together, the late night phone calls discussing life and all its ups and downs, and how I and everyone who knew Jake felt they had a true friend in him. We will all honor his memory during our class reunion and will hold you in our thoughts and prayers always.

I just heard the news am so saddened to hear the loss of Jake.  He was a great friend back in High School and he will be missed greatly.  I have such fun and fond memories of him.  Although we lost touch, the memories have lasted a lifetime.  My thoughts and prayers you all.

Jackie and Tommy, 

We are so very sorry to hear about Jacob.  Our whole family has fond memories of the boys from our days as your neighbors in Tullahoma.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Barbara and Richard Best

Tommy and Jackie,
I'm so sorry....you're in my thoughts and prayers...

Jake was fortunate to have the greatest parents anyone could ask for. May he rest in peace now with brother Eli. I love you both Mom and Dad.

Tommy and Jackie,
I will always remember Jacob as that cute little blond headed boy with that little mischievous smile and as that big strong serious football player. I know now that he is at peace and is happy with those he loves and have gone before him.  That peaceful image will linger with me. I love you and all of your family.

I didn't know Jacob but my son was connected with him through the Pact Team. Chad and I are sorry for your loss I can relate to your pain. God Bless  Karen Ross

He was a committed friend and had a great work ethic.  I will never forget the great times we had together and the little bit of trouble we caused.  My prayers are with you and the family.

I am so saddened to hear of Jacob passing. I have such wonderful memories of him to include his mismatching converse, going to baseball games, and my first ever date to our middle school dance.   I remember him being so polite. Many prayers are lifted up to your family during this time.

Jackie, I haven't had the priviledge of knowing your sons, but knowing who you were in high school...I believe they have all had a very precious mother!  May God's presence be near you for peace & strength.

Jacob and I were the best of friends in elementary school. Some that didn't know us would look at our blonde bowl cuts and ask if we were brothers. There were many years that I thought of him as one. I am deeply saddened by this news. Many prayers for the Holt family. With great sympathy,

Jackie and Tommy, I wish I could be there for you. Your family is in our prayers.  May God draw you near in this time of need. Pat and Jimmy Gaddis

Jake Holt!  What incredible memories I have with him learning how to be a young man.  We played football together, endlessly.  We lifted weights, worked together and played together.  We did everything together that can be done as young men.  He was an incredible friend and always will be.  Jake, the memories are truly endless.  Can't wait to see you again!  You will be missed, my friend.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss.  He was just two months younger than my youngest daughter Marsha. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Mary Ann Hodge Hawk

Jackie and family, you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Patsy Hunter Hancock and family.

I am so sorry for your loss. Jake was and will always be a friend that gave me many happy memories to keep in my heart and share with friends whenever I think of him. He will be missed but not forgotten.

Jake was a close friend of mine in high school. I will always remember his warm smile, welcoming personality, and living heart. I have lost touch with him since high school and am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with the Holt family, my deepest sympathies.

Tommy and Jackie, your dear family is in our thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time.

Jackie you & your good husband & family are in my prayers. I pray God will comfort you all.

Jackie and family.....my thoughts and prayers are with you all...remember the fun times with Jacob...

We are so sorry for the loss of your son.  You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

It is with deep sadness that I hear of my cousin's passing. I have fond memories of Jake and his brothers as boys, every one of them a distinctly different personality that brought life to our every holiday and many days in between. Life was a long, hard struggle for Jake, and there's comfort in knowing that the struggle is over, and in having talked to him about our eternal destiny in some of his clearer moments in the past. May the grace and peace of Jesus Christ be with him and his parents in this time. Sending my love to my wonderful Aunt J and Uncle Tommy, and always to my cousin Jake,

Tommy & Jackie- I am so sorry. I know you loved him very much. I enjoyed the time I spent with him & your family. I still love you very much.

Kim Bolton

There are no words to convey how my heart feels.  I am seeing that cute little blond boy playing with his cousins in the back yard.  I remember how little he was when he ordered shark for dinner at Guidos in Galveston! I love him and his Mom and Dad!
