"Jake, you were an amazing guy. I remember the day we layed on the floor of Chris's grandparents house and talked about what we would do if the world ended right then. You held my hand. I miss that so much. You always held my hand. I love you dearly and will never forget you. Ever."
In loving memory of
Jacob 'Jake' Meyer
August 30, 1991 - February 26, 2013
Jacob L. "Jake" Meyer, age 21 of Indianapolis, Indiana, died unexpectedly on the 26th of February, 2013. He entered this world on the 30th of August, 1991 and his life was a light that shined with intellect, artistry, and giving to others. His greatest attribute was his unconditional love for family. Seminal moments of his youth and teenage years were spent on baseball diamonds and hockey rinks throughout the Midwest. His most treasured team was the Bantam Checkers coached by Shelly Gottlieb. He was a proud member of the inaugural 2010 graduating class of Herron High School where he played soccer and was recognized in his junior year with the "Difference Maker" Award in Integrated Chemistry and Physics. He is preceded in death by his brother Max. Jake will be greatly missed by his sister Carson Meyer, his Dad David Meyer, his Mom Amy Hunter and Step-Dad John Hunter, his maternal grandparents John and Jane Weichert, his paternal grandparents Norma and Larry Meyer, Aunts and Uncles John and Sandy Weichert, John and Andrea Robinson, Erick and Margaret Orr, and cousins Samantha Weichert, Lily and Callum Orr, Olivia, Raye, and Johnny Robinson and countless friends who loved him so.

All of our lives are better from his companionship and we are grateful for the times we had.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you always."

Please know that you are all in our constant thoughts and prayers."
"I always admired Jake. He was such an interesting person. He was one of a kind. I always liked observing him. I remember when Carson and I were little he was having a get together at his house in the basement and he let us go down and hangout with his friends for a little bit. He taught us how to play kemps and he would make fun of us because we were obsessed with High School Musical. I love him and he is like a brother to me. I will always be there for you Carson & family. Forever and always. Jake will always be in my heart. "

"What can a person say about Jake? He was such an amazing person to be around. He had a way of lighting up a person's life. I'm going to miss him dearly. He always had this knack for knowing exactly what I needed, whether it was just talking for hours on end, or an adventure. Thanks for making a huge impact on my life, Jake. Until the day we are reunited, you will live on in my memories. "
"Dear, sweet Carson, and all of your family members, Ally and Jake were together since John Stange always playing soccer during recess, and even though they attended different high schools she said when they would run into each other he was still the same wonderful Jake. His love for family, and your importance to him, will remain in your hearts forever, and he will bless you through your memories that will keep him alive forever. May he have found the peace that he sought, and may you and your family feel the warm arms from all who love both Jake, and you, as you travel this unwanted road ahead. Love ya Carson!!"
"David and Amy...Marissa and I send you our love and our support as we walk this same path with you. Perhaps the most meaningful note we received after our Dave's death came from someone we didn't even know that said simply..."Forever young, forever in our hearts....why cry for a soul set free". Indeed."
"Jake was my best friend. We would spend most of everyday and unfortunately, walked into a curse together. He had great taste in music and we would spend every minute in my car singing along to MF DOOM and system of a down. I love you jake. And miss you"
