Hello, I am rather heartbroken to hear of Jacob’s passing. He was a good man, and a good friend. There were many conversations I had with him discussing history or making jokes. Many nights we did trivia together on Thursdays while in Topeka. Many fond memories. He will be missed.

Dear Kuckelman Family, I am so deeply saddened and hurt to hear about the sudden passing of Jacob. While many years back I do remember vividly laughing, exploring and enjoying London in our primary school days together; and of course the hours we spent hanging out after - of which there were very many. Even after all this time I always remember his kindness, humor and the close friendship we had. My thoughts are with you, dear Kuckelman family, and the loved ones during this difficult time. Rest in peace my friend, you will always be remembered.

Condolences to the entire family, friends, and community. Nancy and Richard

Jacob will be sorely missed by so many. I was fortunate to have known Jacob during his time in law school and to have experienced his good manners, his sense of humor, and his love of life. He was proud of the many members of his family who had attended Washburn Law, including his father, uncle, brother Matthew (currently attending), and his cousin Christopher, whom I also had the pleasure of knowing. My deep condolences to them and to Jacob's mother and sister, and to the rest of the Kuckleman family. He was proud of you and I know that you must have been very proud of him. --Jalen Lowry, Assoc. Dean for Student Affairs, retired 2023
