I was a student of your brother's at the University of Arizona for a semester. It was over a decade ago at this point, but I think it was English 109. It's hard to explain how humbling it felt to chat with him one-on-one. He struck me as a genuine, intelligent, and friendly guy who was worth listening to.

This is such terrible news and I wish Jake and yourself the best.

What a genuine, intelligent, and friendly way to have remembered such a fella worth listening to.

If possible put your email, even a throwaway, in your profile, and I will send a message.

  • Sure thing, I updated my profile with my real email. I certainly don't expect you to remember me, but you might remember my buddy Atish, and I hope you know that you left a massive impression on both him and me. As kids fresh out of high school, you were (and frankly, you still are) the guy we looked up to. Thanks for being you.
