I need to look at his videos. 15 years ago when I had my first tank, I was never on any saltwater sites, it was all local LFS. Way past that now my condolences to the family.
We mourn the loss of Jake Adams

I can't believe he's gone, I was really hoping to meet him someday. I've read his articles since I was a kid, When I was younger it felt like he was the only voice telling me that it was possible. I take some comfort in knowing that his presence in the hobby will be immortalized by his work.
My thoughts are with his family, friends and every reefer who's life he touched.

It's with deep regrate that I've received the news about Jake Adams from Reef Builders has passed away on a flight to Bali. Jake was the one who inspired me to push deeper into this hobby. We shared many philosophies about aquariums in general and had plans with him for some projects in the future, this news is devastating and shows how fragile life can be, and be taken away at any moment. Jake Adams on his own, was able to change the view of millions of reef hobbyists, his influence transcended through the ocean reaching other communities and people of different ages. The impact he had was tremendous and very hard to grasp how so important it was for many of us. His passion for marine life was like no other.
All my Condolences to his family and friend, you will be deeply missed, Rest In Peace.

Why do bad things happen to good people. Jake brought something positive to many peoples days. thank you for sharing your uplifting personality and your wealth of knowledge. Rest in peace Jake.
Man, I couldn't believe the news when I first heard it. RIP to one of the GOATs. He is one of the biggest influences on me and the hobby, provided and produced some of the best content, and was a down to earth guy. I never got to meet him in person unfortunately but from my few conversations with him through Instagram, they were always a joy.
Prayers and condolences to his family and friends, we'll miss you Jake

"Medical Emergency" is what it's being referred to, more specifically he may have suffered a Blood Clot on his flight to Bali last night but that is not confirmed yet so I won't say it as a fact
dang - thanks for sharing and smart idea with the final frame.
I am still in shock to hear this terrible and tragic news. feels like I lost someone I knew, yet I didn't. Definitely, he was someone who inspired me to be so passionate for this hobby. RIP Jake.
Makes no sense for a guy so young and healthy.

I'm sorry to hear this. My condolences to his family. RIP.
a perfect last shot, Jake happy with his coral in beautiful tank and that smile that portraits happiness. RIP Jake
Thoughts and prayers, I remember helping him carry in supplies to the 1st reefstock, very thankful, real and down to earth. Such an inspiration to the reefing community. You will be missed.
My deepest condolences to family and friends. Jake will still be influencing, inspiring and teaching myself, new and old reef hobbyists on YouTube forever, doing what he loved to do. He will always be with us, immortalized through his hard work, dedication and passion for the hobby. He'll never be forgotten.
I know Jake wasn’t into the name game but to have a coral named after him would be awesome.
