My Name is Scott Davis and Jacob Snyder was my best friend of 20 years. We spent the better part of our childhood growing up together. I watched as my friend grew up to become a great person but at around 21 years of age we parted ways. I felt I needed to find my way in life, but Jake never left my heart. Just in the past year were we becoming reunited again. But I was in Florida and he was in Ohio and all over the place. I always could see the potential in Jake. I was even jealous of his talent. He could play the bass like no one I have ever heard before, and it came so natural to him. But unfortunately the one thing that did not come natural to him was every day life. The pain that I saw him go though I would not wish on anyone. I remember one time I had called him and as we were talking I could began to feel him fade so as a desperate plea I cried out "JAKE COME BACK BRO I LOVE YOU AND SO DOES JESUS" He began to cry and proceeded to tell me how much he wanted to feel that love. Well I believe what ever was holding him back from feeling that love has no hold on him now. I believe that Jake made a personal decision to let Jesus have his life. Even though it seemed he would slip off the potters wheel all the time I believe God was still in control, and I look forward to seeing him again. If you have not made that decision ''to follow Jesus' then I would encourage you to talk to Him. It is never to late I don't know how I would ever get through a tragedy like this with out the hope of seeing my friend again.
