Jacob was a good man. Had many good times after high school. He literally had 10 years of hell and didn’t deserve it. He was always a “protector” and would give the shirt off his back at any chance he had. RIP old friend

Lord Jesus I lift this man up to You believing you will meet him right where he is at🙌

Why does he have a eye gaze communication device this would give the ability to talk with his eyes

[nnethson]

May he be free from this state of condition in the name of Jesus Christ our lord and savior. Amen

[rjchavers]

Dear Lord please heal Jacob and bless his nurse that is serving him selflessly. In Jesus name I pray Amen 🙏

He was a US marine, a professional murderer. So he probably killed some people, or worse. What can I say? Bro was LOCKED IN. But in all seriousness, why doesn't he have a proper assistive device, like an eye gaze machine? I know this guy probably did some horrible things in his career. But it's wrong to leave a disabled person with no way to communicate. He is unable to move or speak, but he is still there! He still experiences life and has thoughts, feelings, and opinions just like any other living person.
