Jacob Sullivan, 17.. Gone too soon.

Jacob Drew Sullivan is a child of the Antelope Valley, cruelly taken from his family and friends far too soon... only 17 years old. He grew up in this valley doing all the things children here do. He played baseball and played at the park. He rode his bike, fished, learned to drive on our back desert streets and couldn’t wait to jump in the pool for a swim on our hot summer days. He was your neighbor, and for many, your family or friend. Like so many others here, growing from boy to man had its challenges, but Jacob had a warm heart and he had dreams for a future. He was a well-loved and caring son, grandson, brother, cousin, nephew, friend who deserved to grow into a man to fulfill the dreams that were so violently stolen from him. His family never expected they would be planning memorial services for their young man of 17 years old and it is a considerable hardship. Many in the community have already expressed a desire to help their neighbors in need and we have created this page for that purpose. We ask that if anyone has questions or comments about the ongoing investigation into his death, that they direct those to the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station (661) [phone redacted].
Out of respect for the family, and to maintain the integrity of the investigation, we respectfully request this to be considered a page of honor, a safe place of positivity, and a means of supporting a family that is grieving an unimaginable and unforeseen loss. Thank you neighbors, friends, and family for your commitment to support a son of the Antelope Valley and to demonstrate love and care to the neighbors across your community. God bless you one and all. Rest in Peace Jacob. We all love you and miss you already so much!
