Lorrie--- I read the article in the paper today and want you to know that my heart is with you. We don't judge you, only our Heavenly Father knows all--He understands, He weeps with you, He is with you. May you know more of Jesus and His incredible love, mercy and grace during this dark time. Know that He walks with you through it, He aches with you and He will provide healing and hope. Time will heal and flowers will bloom again. Don't believe the lies from our enemy that this is your fault, that you are to blame- hold on tight to God's hand- He's got your back. I work for an amazing ministry for women called "Revive Our Hearts"- I'd encourage you to check it out online. It is rich with resources and help for you. With love and prayers, Kimberly Marcom
So sorry for your loss. To imagine the pain Jakob was feeling, to read that there were those who were concerned about his behavior, but no one reached out or told those who could have helped him, or boldly reacted to the those bullying him,,,is the saddest part of all of this. My deepest sympathies to the family. Let us hope people have learned a lesson & will remember this young man, for the rest of their lives.
To Jakob's family: May you all be blessed! Nobody wanted this outcome, not you, not Jakob. Even though I have never met either your family or Jakob, I am confident that this act did not represent the real Jakob. Even in our darkest moments, the light of truth and love continues to burn, even if sometimes we can't see it. If it's possible for you, when others seem to deny that in you or in or Jakob, try to redirect your attention to search for that true light, which is God's love, in all of you. It is there. Sometimes it's hard to see, hard to recognize, and easy to be distracted from when the darkness is overwhelming. It is still there. Just keep looking.
My Deepest Sympathy to the Wagner Family. All of you are in my thoughts & prayers. Heaven received a special angel Jakob. God Bless You Alll.. 😇â¤ï¸ðŸ'™ðŸ'šðŸ'›ðŸ'œðŸ˜‡
To the Wagner family, please know that I share your pain and suffering, no parent should ever loose a child and I share my loss with you as you share yours with me. May you find comfort ahead....

Our deepest sympathy to you. It is heart warming to know that we can pour out our feelings to God who promises to comfort our hearts. ( 2 Thessalonians 2:16) The death of a loved one is extremely painful but have faith in Gods promise of seeing your love one again though the resurrection. ( Acts 24:15) We hope this can bring a measure of comfort and peace to you during the difficult days ahead. May you lean on family, friends and God. Remember the good memories you have. You have our condolences.

To the Wagner family: I very recently lost my husband and I know the pain of grieving for a loved one. I grieve with you for Jakob and pray that you may find God's peace in the days to come. Jakob, and whatever tortured him, are at peace now, too. Elizabeth
Lorrie and the entire Wagner family, we are so saddened by the loss of one of God's sons who simply lost his way. Our hearts are filled with a grief that is similar to yours but in no way, comparable to what you are going through. I hope that you realize that Antigo has been changed forever but we will survive and become a stronger community because of what has happened. We stand behind you and do not hold you responsible for what was beyond your control, our love and prayers are with you during these dark days. God bless!
Lorrie, once my daughter figured out who he was, she spoke very highly of him. He was in Anime club with her and Sam. I understand how you feel as we lost our niece at 16, her parents still feel the pain to this day. May his memories live on and may the blood ofour Lord and Savior Christ Jesus give him peace in heaven. Praying for you and your family. God bless. #ANTIGOSTRONG.
Rest in Peace Jakob. May the Lord shine his light upon you.

Lorrie, I want to share that Jakob was my violin student who had learned to make a clear beautiful sound that shared that part of him who wanted to create beauty. In his lesson just this last Wednesday he shared that his two favorite pieces of music were Nimrod from the Elgar Enigma Variations and Jupiter from The Planets by Gustav Holst. These two beautiful compositions are part of Jakob's soul and hopefully others can be lifted up by their incredible sounds. He played on an instrument that he had helped to restore and he had the realistic hope of becoming a violin maker. We all have lost so much by his moment of despair..
I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine the pain you and your family are going through. please remember in your darkest hours that Jesus now watches over Jakob and he is in his loving home in heaven.
Lorrie, We are So, So sorry that you have to endure the pain that no mother should ever have to face. There are no words that will stop the heartache. Just know that so many are praying for you, Jake, and your family. If you need anything at all, please reach out. ~Dodi, Jay & Sam
Jakob your contagious big smile will be missed. I will miss hearing about your music, art, and funny antics from your mom. I hope you have found your peace! With heavy heart we will help support your mom not to forget you and your beautiful spirit. RIP Jakob Lorrie and family we are here for you any time for anything~Brian and Astin Krueger

Lorrie, I am thinking of you every day & praying that you have the strength you need around you. As we would visit over the years about our kids, I always walked away thinking about what a great mom you were & I think that now as well. Jakob was a lucky young man ♡ That love lives on forever Lorrie...it knows no bounds. God Bless & remember I'm here, ok?
I'm so very sorry for the loss of this young man. I'm sorry for the pain he had in his heart.

Lorrie I am so very sorry for the loss you are experiencing. Watching Jake grow up next door, you were a great mom. You got him involved in different activities and let him try a variety until he found what he really liked. You loved him unconditionally, and he loved you. Hugs.
I live in another state and I did not know Jakob, but my heart is always touched when a young person passes away. Looking at the nice photo of Jakob and reading his obituary, I can see that you and the world have lost a very intelligent and musical young man. May you feel the Lord's comfort, and all the prayers there with you. Ellen Robinson
