Condolences
Dearest Richard & Grace. We were so very saddened, when Roma told us about Jake’s passing. We can’t even begin to imagine what you must be going through at this most difficult time. We are supposed to out live our children, not the other way around. Please know that we are holding you both up with love & offer our sincerest condolences. Please take special care of yourselves & each other during this hard time.
Love your family, Glen & Patti. ❤️
Jake - we go all the way back both growing up - living in the same house just down the street from each other on good ole Delage Crescent! I’ll never forget hearing your voice at every party talking about the Jets (of course!) Thanks for always walking me home and for the endless amounts of memories! You were nothing short of incredible and will be missed so so much! Sending strength and love to the whole Sobieski family.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to get to know you, I do know your lovely mother Grace.
You left much too early, your life was still ahead of you.
I am overcome by powerlessness, speechlessness, emptiness and deep sadness. The most painful thing is when your child leaves you.
I feel with you in these difficult days, weeks and months, I wish you loving people who are at your side. Do not lose courage and the joy of life even though everything seems to be impossible.
Your son stays in your heart.
I know how it hurts.
my condolences in love.
Feel lovingly huged by me.

My sincere condolences to the Sobieski family. I first met Jake when we attended high school together and we became friends instantly, sharing many of the same classes together. Jake had a great sense of humor and his laugh was infectious. We spent most classes laughing and carrying on. We attended many of the same parties together around St. Albert too. Jake was a loyal person and always looked out for his friends. I remember him always working out and claiming that his body was "under construction". Although we haven't spoken in many years, I will cherish all the memories made. JETS forever, rest in peace my friend.
My deepest condolences to the entire Sobieski family on your loss. Jake was one of my best friends for the better part of my life and was one of the first new friends I made when we started Junior high. Although we had lost touch over the years I still did and always will consider him one of the greatest guys I’ve ever known. We quickly bonded over our love of sports and rap and realized our sense of humour were one in the same. One of his greatest gifts he gave me was my love for the Jets. Although it’s not easy being a Jets fan(they’re awful) it’s one thing we could always talk and laugh about how much they sucked. One of my greatest regrets will always be never reaching out and letting him know how truly important he was in my life. When my mom passed away and I was completely lost it was him, Sean and a few of our other closest friends that helped get me through it. Either by talking about how I was feeling or just sitting with me in silence so I wasn’t alone with my thoughts. I wish we could have one more chat but I know I’ll see you again. I love you brother.

Our condolences go out to the Sobieski family. We meet Jake when he worked for Tube Supply in Edmonton. Jake was a kind, caring, thoughtful, loyal, hard working man. He could always brighten anyone’s day with his smile or jokes. We were very sad when he left Tube Supply as amazing employees like Jake are very hard to find. Our thoughts and prayers go out to anyone that know him as he was loved by all that meet him.

Jake, we go all the way back to the Delage crew when I first met you and gained a lifelong friend. From there we would have countless games of street hockey in your driveway and baseball games in the backyard. We never once went to the same school growing up, until one Sociology class at gmac where all we did was talk about Alice in Chains and the Oilers. Even as I write this I can think of so many more memories going so far back. My heart goes out to the rest of your family during this tragic time. Rest in peace Jake, you were one of the all-time greats.
To my friend Jake. I've tried writing something a few times now. Its hard to put into words the impact you had on me. But basically I got lucky. I was lucky to have a best friend like you growing up. The experiences we shared together are ones I won't ever forget. You were the type of guy that lit up a room when you walked in and that gave you the ability to make any situation brighter. You touched the hearts of a lot of people and I know you will always have someone thinking about you which brings me comfort. My thoughts go out to Jake's family in this difficult time, my family and I have been thinking about you and send our love.
Rest in Peace to a beauty and a legend, my buddy Jake. Love you man, I will miss you.
What you have deep in your heart cannot be lost through death.
When we found out that Jacob had died, we were paralyzed.
With all our hearts we want to express our deeply felt condolences in this difficult time.
We like to remember many beautiful moments in which we met Jacob.
Especially when our families visit and vacation each other.
All the best in these days of sadness, reflection and farewell.
Tragic news. I will miss you Jake. I’ll always remember our blue Jays vs Yankees rivalry and the beaks that come with it. RIP to an amazing person.
If anyone would like to join a short Zoom memorial, or share pictures of Jake with the Sobieski family, please contact his sister, Roma Sobieski (Facebook/Messenger is fine).
I'm so sad hearing about you passing away at this young age. In spite of the distance of thousands of miles or that we were personally meeting maybe three or four times you had such a big influence of my personal life.
Remembering the florida vacation in 2005. You were just one and a half year older than me, but already looked like a man and me looking like a kid. Probably this memory made me doing weightlifting today :D
We were watching my first American Football games on the couch at that house in orlando what brought me buying Jets Jerseys for us. We both had the same. (#87 Coles)
Now my Jets Jersey is framed up at the room of my own son. Looking at it will be my biggest remembrance of you.
I hope you will rest in peace, leading us the way from up there.
You will be never forgotten.

My dearest condolences to the Sobieski family. Jake and I had a passion for the NFL that would require a minimum 30 minute discussion every time we crossed paths, no matter where it was. His ability to connect with all ages and types of people was impressive - he brought the people together. He will be greatly missed. Rest easy mate. J-E-T-S
Jake was intelligent, kind, and loved the Jets. I was fortunate enough to know him since kindergarten and he holds a special place in my heart and memory. One of the people you could pick up a conversation as if no time passed- I always cherished that.
May there be moments of light from the many messages during this difficult time. Deepest condolences to his family and loved ones
While I didn't know Jacob well he was always so nice to be around. He was funny and wise, and we always had good conversations. I will miss never getting the opportunity to karaoke with him again and drink nice glasses of wine. I can't believe he is gone, taken too soon
Jake was like a second older brother to me throughout my Junior High and High School years. His contagious smile and laugh will be deeply missed by everyone who was lucky to know him. Sending all my love to the Sobieski family.
I’ll never forget his passion for music. I was one of the only other people at the time listening to The Stone Temple Pilots, so we went to the show and it was incredible. He was truly happy. I’ll never forget his smile, that smirk like he knows what you’re up to and his laugh just made you want laugh. Heaven gained another angel. RIP ❤️
Heartfelt condolences to the Sobieski Family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during these unimaginable time. We saw a lot of Jacob growing up in St. Albert with sport teams and being a very close friend of Sean. Our hearts are broken. RIP Jacob. Gary, Lawona, Sean and Kathleen Power
Although I haven't seen or spoken to you since high school, I have some amazing memories of you, mostly from junior high when we first met. I remember your name coming up many times when us girls got together. Yes, we all thought you were cute but it was more than that. Your smile, your kindness, your fun personality, it was hard to not like you. Your obsession with the Jets is still something burned into my memory haha. I'm so sorry you were taken from us so early. Sending your entire family so much love and prayers to make it through this heartbreaking time. Rest easy old friend. Xoxo
Oh Jake, it is so heartbreaking to hear this news. We have known each other since elementary school and always laughed about being the two kids with the funny Polish last names. I can recall so many late nights talking about and sharing music and cranking Alice in Chains in my car cruising around St. A. You were one of a kind and always had a great sense of humour but most of all you were a kind soul. Thank you for being a part of my life, I will never forget you. Much love and respect.
I grew up with Jake and even when we were kids I had a crush on him in many ways- handsome; yes, but also so cheeky and hilarious. I can still hear his mischievous laugh. If he liked you he adored you...if he didn’t like you...haha well, you’d know it. He was honest, most times a trait people didn’t appreciate. But I did! He always teased me which I’ll thank him for now because it made me toughen my skin! I’ll never forget how he was obsessed with the Jets and how he’d raise both of his giant biceps up cheering them on, any single time a person brought up the team or it’s rivals. We walked up and down St. Albert to many different parties, always the life of the party, always good company, always up for a heart to heart talk. I wish now that we didn’t let our beautiful friendship fade, I wish I was there for him, I wish I supported him better, I wish we kept in touch. Let this be a lesson all of us who knew Jake can heed. Keep in touch. Know that none of us are ever alone and many are here for anyone whose struggling. It’s with a heavy heart that I stare at the picture of this goofball, knowing he was taken way too soon. Sad for all the things he’ll never get to do or experience. RIP buddy. Love you.
It’s been many years since I’ve seen Jacob, but I have so many fond memories of him. After hearing of his passing I went looking for old photos from high-school and was reminded of how contagious his smile was. He was a wonderful person. My deepest condolences to the Sobieski family.
I was just talking of my admiration of jake and nostalgic memories the night before I got the call. Jake was a beautiful, intelligent person. Sending love to his family, and my fellow friends and other students who shared their childhood all the way through high school days with this guy. I will never forget that smile.
Jake, we first met over the phone in grade 7 when I would call you because I thought you were super hot haha.Throughout the years we grew to have a really special friendship and I cherish all my times with you. Thanks for choosing me as your grad date and thanks to your parents for the bottle of red wine and the amazing night. I'll cherish our times at MacEwan and your endless song recommendations. You were always the life of the party but also someone we could all truly rely on. I love you and I will miss you. Sending love to your family in this very difficult time. Love, Brittni Ellerbeck
Jake was always a good guy to me. He showed me it was cool to be a nice guy. I’ll always appreciate that.
Rest easy, Dude.
Steve
Sobes, you made every event a party. You had everyone’s attention whether you were informing the crowd why the JETS were the best or cranking up some grunge rock. Tons of great memories, you were a good friend and a great person. Gunna miss you buddy.
You were the man jake, going to miss you buddy ! All my love to you and your family
You were an amazing friend. You were the first person I told about my wife. I'll cherish every moment we ever had together. You were a real friend that I feel blessed to have known. My deepest condolences to the Sobieski family. An amazing person gone to soon.
On behalf of Jake's friends and former colleagues at John Crane, we send our deepest condolences to Jake's family. Our time with Jake was short but we have very fond memories of him to hold on to.
Chris Kalin and John Crane Canada
It is with a deep sadness and a broken heart, I offer my sincere condolences to the family. Jake was kind, had a great sense of humor and was a loyal friend. He will be sadly missed by all he touched during his short time with us. "Hey buddy" - as he often said. I'll remember you always.
