JACOB DIEDRICH KRAHN

Condolences & Memories (9 entries)

• Jake was my friend. We worked together helping to build Wayside Gospel Chapel's new building and became very close during those four and a half years. He was a great listener and had a wry sense of humour that I came to appreciate. After the church was completed, we got together once or twice a week for coffee and to talk or not talk, just to enjoy one another's company. He was a servant of the Lord and a good friend. We will meet again but until then I will miss him. - Posted by: Bill Main (Friend) on: May 22, 2015

• This makes me think about the trip thru south Dakota! There were two People... friendly, warmhearted, helpful! It was an awesome Time to get to know Jacob and Barbara. I will never forget the funny moments we´ve had, the talks we´ve had. Since 2007 we hold the contact to each other. I feel a Connection since we met. My biggest wish would be to see you again. - Posted by: Janina Thies (Zellmer) (friend in germany) on: May 21, 2015

• Jacob was such a kind and easy going guy. Always wanting to help others. When Barbara & Jacob would come to visit me in Rapid City, Jacob went above and beyond helping me with projects around the house and yard that I just couldn't do myself. Last year it was his goal to save and straighten a huge Evergreen tree that had been bent in half by a severe winter storm. Jacob tethered that tree with ropes and a winch. Every day he went out and slowly adjusted it until it was standing straight again. I really didn't know if the tree would make it but it did and is still standing tall...to me it will always be "Jacob's Tree" and I think of what a wonderful man he was every time I look at the tree that others would have just cut down. Jacob will be truly missed by all that knew him, my heartfelt condolences to my cousin Barbara and Jacob's family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. - Posted by: Caroline Skromeda (Barbara cousin) on: May 14, 2015

• Hi Barbara I'm not sure if you remember me but I used to drive Jake back and forth to work at Winters Autobody. I used to operate a bus service out of Pineridge Trailer Park. I remember Jake well. Always a very happy delightful man. My sincere condolences on his passing. May he soar among the Angels. God bless. RIP Jake my old friend. Until we meet again. - Posted by: Avalon Beck (friend) on: May 09, 2015

• We had our best times Fly-in fishing at Frenchmens Lake. Even though you had much respect for the water, you were right there in the boat fishing with the rest of us. - Posted by: John Krahn (brother-in-law) on: May 09, 2015
