Meet Loki

Loki was Jacob’s inseparable companion from the moment we brought him home. Though tragically, Jacob was only a year older when he passed, their bond was profound. We gifted Loki to Jacob to offer solace during his brother’s college departure in the fall of 2022. Jacob embraced his role as Loki’s caretaker with unwavering dedication, imparting countless tricks and endless affection. Today, Loki carries forward the legacy of their bond, still performing tricks taught by Jacob and offering unwavering companionship. A gentle giant with a love for playtime and cuddles, Loki has blossomed into a cherished member of our community, serving as an ambassador and a heartwarming reminder of Jacob’s spirit.

Conversations that save lives- Our story

In the heart of every tragedy, there is a seed of hope. At Jacob Strong 615, we believe in nurturing this seed to create a beacon of light that guides those lost in the darkness towards a path of healing and understanding. Our foundation was born from a profound loss, the loss of our beloved son, Jacob. His life was tragically cut short by suicide in 2023, leaving us with an indescribable void.

However, we chose to transform our grief into action, to ensure that no other family has to endure such pain. The Foundation that bears his name works to assist young people and families recognize the warning signs of mental illness through various avenues including support, mental health awareness, and resources.
