Thank you so much for being the first to say the weather didn’t seem like a factor. That’s infuriating and insinuating some other dark cause of the crash. We are all grieving this loss. Jacob was an amazing young man and devoted to god. He impacted so many people. In fact his home town in Exeter, California is also having a memorial service in honor of him. His wings were ready but our hearts weren’t. Love you brother.
Very sorry for your loss. I know it must be hard.
