We mourn the loss of Jake Adams

[revhtree]

I’ve been informed that the family knows and now we here at R2R are able to mourn together the tragic news that the reefing community has lost Jake Adams of ReefBuilders.

I’m at a loss for words as Jake was a very good friend to my family and the R2R community. I had tremendous respect for him and his work and he will be sorely missed.

Prayer for his precious wife and family.

This is so sad, I'm going to miss reading and listening to all his thoughts. He has made a big impression on me and how I approach this hobby.
So young, it's unbelievable to me...
