Very tragic. A reminder that life is short. Do the things you love.

it really does, I am still in complete disbelief.
Once again my sincere condolences to his family and to our reefing community.

I have never watched his videos - except perhaps 1. I don't know why or how he died. I do know - after reading many (not all) of the posts here - that he influenced many people, was an upstanding member of the community, and sorely missed by his family. His legacy will live on with his channel. Though I was not a follower - I feel like I've lost a friend. RIP Jake

I am thinking maybe forum can organize an auction or sale thread.

We all have equipment laying around. We could donate it. Then the forum can sell it and donate money to family.

He was a young guy. I am sure family can use help.
If this is wrong I am sorry. Trying to help someway.
We all have equipment laying We don't use.
It can be sold here and money sent. This way we know it's done right.

I was going to suggest the same thing - an official R2R thing. Kind of like a R2R Gofundme. I'm not personally a fan of Gofundme. And - I would leave it to R2R to decide the recipient. I would contribute.

I hope we will be told what happened ? When people don’t know the correct information it will obviously lead to misinformation.

The last time I felt this sad at the passing of someone one I had never met was when Steve Irwin died. Both of them absolute giants in their own field of wild life, and both of them gone way to soon. Maybe they can now enjoy a dive together.

My sincerest condolences to his wife & family.
I learned so much on his videos and surprisingly I would watch the whole thing. Most reef-tubers voices or corny jokes would make my ears bleed but Jake had a way of capturing my attention and keeping me watching.

Rest In Peace buddy

Jake Adams was an amazing ambassador and icon for our hobby. Our condolences go out to his wife Windsor, his family, as well as his friends. He inspired and educated reefers around the world with his articles, videos, and in person appearances at shows. A great asset in the community gone too soon, but leaves behind a legacy of irreplaceable content for the marine industry to continue to learn and grow from. Jake's love and passion the reefing hobby was undeniable and contagious. He will be sorely missed!

Rest In Paradise friend!

Thanks for sharing this, donated and just hope they make enough to help his wife out with their little "frag" on the way. Makes my heart break that he will never meet his little one. God bless his family.

It can be lonely being a reefer in the sense there aren't a lot of us out there. Through social media, Jake put a friendly and trusted face to the hobby we all love. So sad and he will be truly missed. Rest in Peace.

Wonder how he died? Couple vids he didn’t look good. His eyes were glassed over and really slow like he was heavy medicated. May have been sick for some time. Sucks to lose such a great human being. Be greatly missed.

Im sorry, can we at least be respectful!? This comment is extremely insensitive, and it potentially feeds a false narrative.

Hey reef family, i need a huge favor. There are tons of fake videos online regarding our friend Jake and all sort of conspiracies surrounding his death. They are fake, disgusting, and well i cant tell you what i really want to say. If you see them please dislike them. Thank you.

Rest in Peace Jake, you will be severely missed.
