Donation protected

Jacob \"Jake\" Andrew Bean
 Age 11
May 8, 2000 - March 26, 2012
Our son was a wonderful, smart, funny, regular kid. He lived in the country in Rensselaer, Indiana with his dad and his brother and sister ages 17 and 15. He was a sweet little boy who always very joyful and happy since the day he was born. He was always joking and laughing. He loved his dogs and kitties, loved geting out there in the dirt, and he enjoyed playing his own little made up tunes on his harmonica. He also loved to learn magic tricks and card tricks. We dont know what got into his mind but something made him unlock the guns and take his life. Please don\'t call it a suicide, he was just a little boy in pain and wanted to stop what must have been a very secret, temporary, pain of a confused adolescent time. I know in my heart he did not understand the magnitude of his actions that day and would never have hurt his family or friends by doing anything so traumatic. He loved his family and spending time with us and he knew how much we loved him. He was truly a special gift to us and he was a light in so many lives. He was a good friend, he stood up for the weaker kids, he was a gentle, soft hearted boy with compassion in his heart for others. He was just like every child with his goofiness and his grumpy times but he made our lives better for just having him there. Our hearts are broken and our family is in great need of donation for his funeral and all donations will go towards that purpose, and for purposes of wage lost during this tragic time. The funeral home wants to be paid in full within 30 days. It has come down to paying for our precious sons funeral and keeping up on a mortgage and keeping the home.

All checks can be made payable to his dad...his best friend...his good buddy
