I don't even know you, but I saw your name on a music video on YouTube, I thought I'd just let you know that it's super tough to lose a loved one. But that, it seems like all these 62 people liked you. Maybe, one day, we'll hang out. Seemed like you were a cool dude.

Jake's time on Earth will always be remembered. Though, it is not the end. His soul will continue to shine in the Heavens.
Jim, I will never forget your son or the love he displayed for you. I hope that your heart will heal, but I know that it never fully will.
I will continue to cry and pray for you and your family.

I will always remember Jake as the funniest, most creative kid you could ever meet. He was always putting a smile on everyone's face. I remember middle school wrestling, he was so much fun to be around. Although we grew distant over the years, I was shocked to hear the news. Jake will be missed by so many people. My sympathy goes out to you and your family, as I am sure this is a difficult time. My prayers are with you. I will miss you Jacob!Rest in peace.

Hey Jake, I remember when you were little you would want to take a bathe at dad's and it was so funny because you would fight dad to leave you sock's and underwear on in the tub, you would take all my wrestling toys in the tub with you, and we would all end up laughing about it.I remember every time we would go to gram & grandad's we would ride with the top down, music blaring, and you in the back seat rocking back and fourth, dad would always wondering if there was something wrong with the mustang "his baby" and he would soon realize it was his other baby bouncing around in the back. Boy i wish i could have just one more trip to grams and grandads with you. but you know, i think someday i will. and you and i will sing and play every day. I Love you Jacob Benjamin Selby..I always will. rest in peace little buddy. we will see each other again. I promise.

I am truly sorry for your loss! As your online pal for years, I didn't really know Jake other the games we play occasionally. I'm sure he had alot of his father and mother's good traits. Nobody can predict the future, or know what their child is thinking or doings. You have an idea, but you do your best as a parent and hope that God guides them the rest of the way.
Now God is guiding him all of the way and helping him understand what he didn't know in life. Keep your family close and stay strong. Please take care of yourselves... all of your family. God bless you all.
~Shawn.

Its impossible to put words to the emotions I am feeling. Never in a million years would I have guessed things would end like this or that I would be writing in my little brothers memorial. The immense amount of potential that you had Jacob - what a waste. If only you could have known how happy you made everyone, how much you are loved, how many friends you have, and how much you are now missed... It hurts me the most to know that at some point I am going to have to explain to my children what happened to their uncle Jacob. Sonya idolizes you so much. She asks about you daily. This hurts kid..this hurts. I am so sad, and so angry. I miss my "Lil Homie". I miss my brother. Be strong little brother, I'll see you again some day.
To all of Jacobs friends and family, my heart, thoughts and prayers are with you. We're all in this together.

Jake was an amazing individual that could always put a smile on someone's face no matter what. I had the privalage of knowing Jake and riding the bus with him since the 7th grade. He always made the bus rides a blast, whether he was singing, debating a pointless arguement, or just making someone smile. All that were lucky enough to know Jake will miss him dearly. My condolences go out to Jake's family. May he rest in peace. We'll all miss you, Jake.

Dear Friends,
I am deeply saddened to learn of Jacob's death. There simply are no words that can put away your pain and sorrow. To be sure, he no longer sufferes the challenges of this world, but the fact remains: you who so loved him want him to be part of your daily living. That makes a mismatch that is hard for us to accept. Jacob is now at peace, yet our hurt goes on. I wish you solace, peace and healing at this most difficult time. May God bless each of you with His grace and hope.
In Christ,
Jerry Jones

Jake changed my life in various ways, and I will never forget him. He will be missed by everyone who knew him and loved him. I plan on setting up a candle lighting ceremony this Friday at the football game.

He was a big-hearted, kind, and sensitive young man who loved computers and was very gifted in many ways. He will be deeply missed by his numerous friends and family, especially his father, James B. and Stephanie Selby of Zeeland; his mother, Terri and Timothy Nielsen of Fenwick; his brothers and sisters, Brad and Amanda Vlastuin of Sand Lake, Kristen and Christian Johnson of Greenville, Justin and Jackie Selby of Greenville, and Heather, Kelsey, and Shelby Raab, all of Zeeland; his grandparents, Lee Selby of Howard City and Martin and Mae Buikema of Jenison; and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins. Funeral services will be held Thursday at 4:30 PM at the Greenville Community Church (6596 Vining Rd., Greenville) with Pastor Joel Heron officiating. Jacob's family will greet relatives and friends from 2:30 to 4:30 prior to the service at church.
