Liz & Mel - Re/Max Rouge River

May friends, family, and good times be a part of your day.

There are no words that feel big enough for a loss like this… but Jacob deserves to be remembered for the incredible person he was.
Jacob wasn’t just my son’s friend… he was part of our family. Our lives were woven together through countless memories, tournaments, long weekends at the cottage, vacations, and all the in-between moments that now feel so unbelievably precious.
He was the kind of kid everyone gravitated toward. An amazing athlete, yes… but more than that, he was a genuinely good person. The kind of friend you hope your child finds in life. Loyal, kind, and always able to make everyone laugh. That smile, those blue eyes, his jokes… he had a way of lifting a room without even trying.
Watching the boys grow up together, you don’t realize in the moment how special those years are… but looking back now, I feel so incredibly grateful to have witnessed the friendship they shared and the young man Jacob became.
My heart is completely shattered for Les and Garth, who are such an important part of my family’s lives. They loved him beyond measure. There is nothing harder than this… and no parent should ever have to endure it.
Jacob will forever be part of our story… in every memory, every laugh, every moment we shared.
You will be missed more than words can ever say. Jacob Winterton 2001 - 2026 🕊️💔
