Suzan I am so very sorry for your loss. Praying for comfort and peace for you and your family.

Dear Askew Family, I am deeply sorry for your loss. Jacob was more than a friend to me—he was like a brother. I still remember biking around the neighborhood almost every day. We grew up side by side, and so many of the choices I made in life, including joining the military, were inspired by the example he set. He will always be a part of who I am. I will miss him more than I can express, but I will keep pushing forward because I know that’s what he would have wanted. His strength, his loyalty, and his kindness will stay with me always. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time. If there is anything I can do, I’m here. With heartfelt sympathy, Levi Hawkins

My very deepest sympathy for your family. A young hero left this earth far too soon. God bless you all.

Dear Family, we are deeply saddened by the loss of your beloved son, Jacob. His light illuminated many lives, and his memory will continue to shine. We remember when he was a child, and one day we suddenly saw him so tall, and we asked him, "What happened? Where did the little boy we knew go?" And he would laugh, always affectionate, respectful, well-mannered, and with a childlike smile, even though he was taller than us. He remained so special. We would gather to celebrate birthdays, Christmas, and countless other celebrations at the home of Jean Carlos and Gloria Murillo, our nephews, along with Junior, his son, and Gabriella House, in Greenville, NC, Junior and him, who were always great friends, even better friends. And Jacob was always there, seeing us and hugging us with such affection, and my mother, "Tata," too. He was such a special young man; he was family to us. We watched him grow from a child to a young man. I also remember when his proud mother and father told us that Jacob would be joining the Air Force—what joy and honor! No parent should have to experience the pain of losing a child. Sorry, we are very saddened. Our hearts are also grieving the tragic and irreparable loss of your beloved son Jacob. All our love and prayers are with you, and we pray that God's healing balm will fill you and that you will find strength in the love and support of all those around you. Jerry & Helena M Piggott

Sending my thoughts and prayers to his family 🙏♥️♥️🙏

Mike and I are so sad to hear the news of Jacob. There are no words to fix this pain. We have all your family in our prayers. God bless you all. Cathy Servie

I remember Jacob as such a happy kid! I was lucky to have him in AVID for three years. He brought spirit and enthusiasm to the class and was well-loved by his peers and teachers alike. After we all moved up to high school and he was no longer in AVID, he made time to stop in and catch up regularly - such a nice kid! I am so sorry for his loved ones, and I will be praying for their strength and peace as they navigate life without him.

I will miss you I know you and your granddad are talking AIR FORCE So proud of all you stood for love Aunt Pat

So incredibly saddened to hear of the loss of Jacob. Our hearts are broken with you and know prayers and this loving community are with you all during your devastating grief.

We know you have been overwhelmed with grief and disbelief this tragedy has occurred. You were a family that traveled and sincerely enjoyed each other.....always smiling. Hold on to those happy memories. Love to you both.

Jacob was amazing guy! In the short time that we knew him, he made an incredible impression on all he met. I was lucky enough to be part of his civilian friend group here in Texas. He always brightened our day and just made us feel welcomed and appreciated. Love you Jacob, fly high bud!

Our deepest condolences are extended to each and every family member and friend of Jacob. He was a fine young man and I personally enjoyed being around them the brief times I had the opportunity. Our family wishes each of you peace in the coming days, months and years. Much love!!

Liz, JP and family, our deepest condolences and prayers for strength during this difficult time. We are so terribly sorry for your loss and our hearts are broken for you both. Prayers for your entire family, Brenda and Robert

Jacob was such a kindhearted, enthusiastic student at FFHS – he was everything a teacher could ask for in a student. His smile and laughter were infectious, and he was such a light in the world. My heart goes out to all of the many family and friends who loved him so much, and you are all in my prayers. Jacob touched more lives than he could ever realize.

Matilda and family - You are in my thoughts and prayers in your great loss. Sincere sympathies to all of your family.

Words can't express the sorrow you are feeling. I am terribly sorry and I'm sure many are incredibly grief-stricken as Jacob was such a great young man. He always represented himself well on the soccer field, with true, notable character. -Coach Kevin

JP and Liz, my deepest condolences

JP I am so sorry for your loss. I know there are no words. Just know you are in my prayers for comfort and peace.

Sending sincere sympathies to his family and friends. Thank you for your service young man. May God bless your family in the days to come.

Jacob was a wonderful fifth grader in my classroom (just like his daddy was before him) and I am heartbroken by this sad news. Sending you all prayers and love along with my sympathy.

Liz & family. We are so very sorry for your loss of Jacob. There are just no words to ease this pain. May god be by your side as you walk this difficult journey.

Liz, your family has been in my thoughts since Barbara let me know. I truly am so sorry and may God help you all as he did me, through your grieving. Serms that he was such a nice young man

Prayers, and thoughts. My heart just breaks for you Bonnie, for parents, family, and friends. You have raised such an admirable son. I got to know Jacob through Bonnie. My 6yrs old son, Siotaani, still does not know of Jacob’s homecoming. So often when he would come into town to see Bonnie, they would come and pick up my son and take him to play, or even sit at work with him, coloring, playing, because we lost my husband back in May. My son loves Jacob so much, and even this past weekend was asking me, and Bonnie for him. My prayers are with you all, and although, I know so well what is to come, with not having him here physically, I do know that one day we will all be re-united with Jacob, and all our loved ones that have gone before us. Thank you for sharing your son with all of us. I’m so blessed to say I was fortunate enough to know him.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💕💕

On behalf of the local chapter of the Blue Star Mothers of America, I would like to extend our deepest condolences. As mothers of military men and women we offer up our heartfelt prayers for all who mourn the loss of this extraordinary service member. May he rest in peace in the blue skies of heaven, Pam Buscemi Pres. Blue Star Mothers of the Outer Banks

We were so sorry to hear about Jacob. Our thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Liz and family. Our hearts go out to you at this terribly sad time. We have no words to ease your pain. We remember him when he was young and would come by the Atlantic office. We enjoyed watching him grow up via your FB photos. Your loss is heartbreaking. We extend our deepest sympathies and will keep you all in our prayers.

My heart aches for this senseless loss. No words to express the feelings the family is experiencing. Hold onto the memories.

Jacob was such a bright person knew how to make a bad day a good one he was always making a joke out of something and knew how to make me laugh he was loved as brother it was such a honor to work with him my condolences go out to the family

In Honor of Airman Askew Losing Askew does not feel real. He was not just someone in our brother flight in BMT. He was family. From the very first day he carried himself with a quiet strength, like he could see every challenge ahead of us but was still ready to walk straight through it. He always had that brave look in his eyes, the kind of look that made you stand taller and keep going even when everything felt heavy. Askew inspired all of us without ever trying to. He pushed through every obstacle with so much heart. When everyone else was worn out, he was still giving everything he had. When the days felt long and draining, he was the one who reminded us that we were not alone, that we were fighting through this together. His presence made our flight stronger. His courage made all of us better. What hurts the most is knowing that someone with a soul like his is gone too soon. But everything he stood for, the strength, the loyalty, the effort, the love he had for his brothers and sisters, continues to live in each of us who had the honor of serving beside him. Askew will always be part of our Air Force family. He will always be remembered. And every time we find strength when we think we have none left, every time we push past our limits, his spirit will be right there with us. Aim high Airman. We will carry your legacy from here. ♥️

I never had the privilege to meet Jacob but I only heard WONDERFUL words and praises by his grandmother Dolorss. She admired his smile, integrity, and kindness God has him now 🙏

JP and family, I cannot find the words to express my deepest condolences. I know Jacob was loved by many. You all are in our thoughts and we will continue to pray for peace and understanding for you all in this difficult time.

Sending my deepest and heartfelt condolences on the loss of your beloved son, Jacob. My heart is devastated for a life lost too soon. Praying that time will allow your mending hearts to embrace all the cherished memories of the time you shared together. Jacob will continue to fill your hearts with his enormous love and will be missed as much as he was loved - tremendously. May your family and loved ones provide you an abundance of love, support and comfort in your time of need. With loving prayers for healing, Michaela Thorn

Askew was truly an incredible person, and I’m grateful I had the opportunity to work with him at Cannon AFB. He had a good head on his shoulders and an even better heart. I’m sending prayers, strength, and warm hugs to his family and to Bonnie. I heard so many stories about you all, and the love you shared was always clear. I hope you’re able to find healing during this difficult time, and I know Askew is watching over you. 💙💙💙

Dear J.P., Liz and all of the extended family, we are so, so very sorry for the loss of your beloved son, Jacob. It is a loss unimaginable. We are praying for your comfort.

From one gold star Airforce mom to another gold star family, I offer my deepest condolences, and prayers. Fly High Airman Askew. Thank you for your amazing service.

JP and Liz, I cannot fathom the loss you must be feeling. I want to share my absolute belief that Jacob knew the how well he affected the lives of those around him. I am sure that heaven is as proud to have him as you ever could have been. You raised a good man.

With tears streaming down my face and an aching heart, I want to give my most sincere condolences to the Askew family. These past few weeks have been incredibly difficult, especially for my daughter. When I say she is broken, I truly mean she is broken. She has lost the love of her life her one true love a man who showed her care, love, and compassion. Bonnie was so excited to start a new life with Jacob. She loved him truly. With a kind heart ♥️ Jacob didn’t deserve this. He was an exceptional person with a kind heart. He had no enemies only friends and family who loved and admired him. He was full of light, life, and goodness. He took such wonderful care of my daughter and my niece, and for that, I am forever grateful. The girls keep asking, why? Their beautiful boy. Every time he visited, they were so excited to cook for him, do activities, and simply spend time together. Bonnie was looking forward to beginning a new chapter with him in his beautiful hometown in North Carolina. During our FaceTime calls, he would tell us how excited he was to go home for the holidays and so was Bonnie. I will never stop praying for my daughter nor for the Askew family. Jacob will never be forgotten. We will forever keep him in our heart. 💔🙏

May the peace of of our Lord Jesus be with Jacob now and for eternity .. Thank you for serving our country ...
