About Jacob and Mr Puddles: 

Jacob was a sweet, brave, adventurous, silly little guy with beautiful curls. He was a big jokester and loved magic. He loved superheroes, especially Captain America. Jacob battled with DIPG for 352 days, he passed away Oct 07, 2021. We miss him so much every day..

Jacob's best friend was a stuffed kitty he named, Mr Puddles. Mr Puddles was a big part of Jacob’s short childhood and cancer journey. He was really attached to him and took him everywhere. Mr Puddles continues to be part of our lives as we try to incorporate him on events and our DIPG Journey as Bereavement parents. He is our way to keep Jacob alive in our memories and thoughts.
