Jacob LOVED the outdoors and spent most of his time in nature. Arboretum Trail at Long Hunter State Park was a favorite. Tiffany and Jacob spent countless miles on this trail. Thanks to our many amazing family and friends who came together to create a place this trail to enjoy and take in the scenery in remembrance of Jacob.
Thank you to Amanda and Brenna for all your input and making this happen! Without the two of you and your contacts, we wouldn’t have been able to push this through.
We hope you can find the time to enjoy one of his favorite places!
If a story is in you,
it has to come out.

Jacob’s Library
Jacob’s Free Library was placed in memory of Jacob Raymer. We are incredibly thankful for the donations that make this possible! It is in a high traffic area where he lived and many people have already been blessed by it. Jacob always said his dream was to put as many books into people’s hands as he could so we are helping fulfill that dream.
Jacob loved life and loved to share with others. We are spreading his love through acts of kindness throughout the community. Feel free to use this hashtag to share with others!
A big thank you to Mr. Todd for all his hard work on Jacob’s sharing library. It exceeded anything we could have imagined. And to Teresa, thank you for the finishing touches of the plaque and wording.

Update: We delivered all the books to the hospitals. We were able to provide a new Christmas book to EVERY child and some siblings to Vanderbilt Children’s and Centennial Children’s hospitals. We also donated 50 activity books and crayons to the kids at the Ronald Mcdonald House. Many thanks to y’all’s generosity and love of helping keep Jacob’s memory alive.
Our first Jeepin’ for Jacob event was a success!! We had over 500 people attend and collected 482 books. We exceeded our goal and are very thankful for all of the support and donations. We can’t wait to donate them to all of the kids at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital.
