Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Jacob William Epp to show support.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a private interment of less than 10 people will be held at the Niagara-on-the-Lake Cemetery with a Facebook livestream for those unable to attend on Tuesday, June 2, 2020 at 10:30 a. m.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating blood as Jake's transfusions allowed us many more precious weeks with him. Donations can also be made to the Mennonite Central Committee or Mennonite Disaster Service, two organizations where he often volunteered to fight social injustice and natural disasters.
