Jake Spak Eulogy
Obituary Paper Jake Spak
Dr. Block 11/08/10

Jake Spak, a 19-year-old actor, and a long-time resident of Los Angeles died yesterday due to a tragic acting related stunt. While acting in his anticipated movie "Death is Tragic," Jake attempted a very dangerous yet necessary motorcycle jump scene. All of the calculations and measures were taken to ensure Jake a safe 50 foot jump. Unfortunately, when Jake was landing, the pressure on the bike was too high and therefore caused the engine to explode instantly. As a result, the force of the explosion caused Jake's legs to tear off and fly in two opposite directions. Jake's body quickly propelled into the air because of his tight grip on the handle bars. Blood scattered on many

After the death, reporters rushed to hear words from his family and die-hard fans. One reporter gathered from Jake's mother, "Jake was truly an inspiration to all of us and he will be very missed." "Jake inspired me to be an actor," Jake's brother said sobbing, "and look at me now; I'm worth millions but now I feel like shit." "Jake was the type that motivated his fans and inspired them to live to the fullest,” Jake's manager reported. "He transformed negative people into positive people instantly. Many people don't know, but Jake was also a motivational speaker who wanted to inspire everyone to be happy. And this inspirational speaking was done free for schools and venues around the world. If only his speeches were as much known as his movies, then fans would really know how great of a guy he actually was," Jake’s manager stated. "Jake inspired me on and off the set to just feel better about myself and live fuller," Jake's girlfriend stated. In addition, the contents of Jake's will showed just how caring and nice he was. Jake's large supply of money was split 80% to 20% with the majority going towards several charities supporting the needy and the remaining 20% to his family. His house will be awarded to his girlfriend and her family to reside in. Next, his awards are to be given to his devoted manager, as a thanks for Jake's success. Also, Jake's valuables will be given to life-long friend,

    Tom Robinson Eulogy: Tkam

    When people talk about the ideal human being, the person that everyone aspires to be, they all think about different authors and sporting legends. But, the perfect human in my eyes is in fact a black man going by the name of Thomas Robinson. Tom Robinson was a man that was a great friend, excellent worker and now an inspiration to me. He was a person who had strong morals and he never went contradicted these. All these morals that he sustained throughout his short life were all ones that benefited the society, except for the fact that it was due to these morals that he died. He meant and did no harm to anyone in Maycomb and his services to the country were much greater than anyone would expect from someone like him. He did nothing but good to the community. We will all forever be in debt to his soul.…

    Eulogy For Duncan Buddy

    • 215 Words

    My Duncan Buddy’s name was Chariteey. She and I did not have that great of a relationship. Some days she would say that she did not like me, while other days she would apologize for saying that she didn’t like me. I think I impacted Chariteey’s life by showing her that you cannot just push people away. Saying “mean” things to people is not ok and I told her that. I told her that it was ok that she said it because she apologized, but that she cannot go around saying things like that to other people. She talks about her mom, but had mentioned that her father died when she was younger. I think her mom is there for her, but not as involved as she could be. She mentions that she goes on “trips” with her friend that is a guy. I was not sure how…

    It was all in the southbound lane and we were in the northbound lane, but we just parked there because there’s just people everywhere; they’re just screaming, crying, whatever. I jumped the Jersey barrier and this guy is just FUBAR-ed. He’s still alive; it would have been better if he was just dead, but he died in the back of the ambulance. What we think happened, or appeared to have happened, was that he wrecked his truck and as it was rolling down the interstate; he got ejected. His truck was sitting sideways south of the accident and the weird thing is that some of the bystanders said that right after that happened, he stood up, and then, he got hit 2 or 3 times by other vehicles. He was, for as bad as he was messed up, still moving his eyes, still breathing, and still had a pulse. We boarded him quick, threw him in the back of the ambulance. The medic met up with us. We didn’t leave right away because we had that feeling that he wasn’t gonna make it. It was pretty much a give-me that he wasn’t gonna live. They put him a monitor on him, his pulse was like 20, then went to 16, then like 14, then like 12, and his breathing was getting shallow, and the biggest thing is the color of his skin. It went from red like road- burn to purple and then, it just went white when his pulse hit zero, and then, he died; there was no way to save him. He had a hole the size of a soft ball missing out of the side of his head like right here beside his right eye.…

    The moment I picked up my phone I knew something was wrong. The tone of my friend Danny’s voice sounded very grave and worn. The reason why followed in lowly uttered words. “CJ is in the hospital.” In sort of a daze I rushed to the hospital and found a way into the Intensive Care Unit. There in the bed was my friend with two broken arms and internal damage to his kidneys. At his side sat his mom. When I asked what happened, she said that Cj was hit off of Brooks Bridge by a drunk driver. A thirty-foot fall into the ground below, landing in the grass. Cj was two-inches away from the stone hard concrete that could’ve ended his life.…

    I stand here before your grave, I came alone. I wish I gave your eulogy in front of others while you died from old age but no one came to your funeral., while reflecting on the past few days that I’ve spent here at home. I have prepared my speech hopping to express the pain I am in. Firstly I am ashamed and disappointed that my own father would do such a thing. Mum told us that you have tried to take your life many times before but it never occurred to us that you would actually succeed to do so. You’re a fool!…

    Immediately, the paramedics cut his shirt and gave him oxygen and took him to the nearest hospital. At this time, more than twenty five minutes had passed. When we got to the hospital there were doctors and nurses waiting for him. After 10 minutes, one of the doctors came out of the room and told us that they need to call a pediatrician, an ENT specialist, because they were not able to get the hotdog out of his throat. After the long waiting, the doctor finally arrived, inserted a pair of scissors down his throat and got the hot dog out. The doctor told us that not many children survive to and accident like this. A child without breathing for more than 2 minutes his brain can be affected and not breathing for more than 5 minutes can cause dead. He was then sent to the Cook’s Children Hospital and after two days in critical care, the doctor released him.…

    Motorcycle Collision

    I’ll never forget the first time I saw a motorcycle collision. I was walking home the night before finals week began. It was late and the walk to my dorm was relatively well-illuminated by the street lamps being swarmed by moths. In the distance I could hear the distinct whine of the motorcycle. As it came barreling down the hill towards the intersection I then heard music blaring from an oncoming car racing from an adjacent street. The collision happened in slow motion… glass and plastic everywhere. My subconscious took over as I sprinted to the lifeless biker’s aid. He wouldn’t move or respond. Another witness called 911 seemingly seconds before the ambulance showed up. This horrific event sparked my interest in a career as a Physician…

    He is honest, kind, and genuinely cares about other people. His attitude of service shined in our summer internship program as he worked with other kids and youth from our community. His exemplary work ethic is displayed in the way he overcame language and cultural barriers to flourish academically as a young teen, new to the United States. Oscar is pursuing excellence in his personal and academic life in ways that are not common among youth in the urban core. I believe that Oscar is only beginning to tap into his potential, both academically and as a person.” I’m not just focusing on getting an education, but also I encourage others to be and fight for what they want. I really like to help and inspire others because we are the future. What I been leaning is that my path was build to walk alone, but I choose to walk with people.…

    I have two memories of the Church—both of which are embarrassing. The first was during my First Communion, which is third of the seven sacraments where someone first receives the Eucharist (the body and blood of Jesus). For the ceremony, my parents dressed me in a terribly fit suit and at that age I was missing both of my front teeth—I looked ridiculous. Sometime during the ceremony I accidentally blew out my candle. I look around and every other kid still has their candle lit so I tried to fake it by hovering my hand around the top of the candle, pretending to protect the flame. I can hear my family chuckle behind me. I waited until the rest of the kids began blowing out their candles, then I just blew into my hand extinguishing the “invisible-flame.”…

    Hermann Maier is on top, winning world cup as well as Olympic gold in his sport, downhill alpine ski racing. He has been consistently breaking records with grace and speed through hard work and natural talent. But in the summer of 2001 Hermann Maier’s skiing career comes to a screeching halt. It is not just a question of “will he race again?”, but “will he survive and will he ever walk again?”. The accident didn’t occur during a death defying ski race, but instead on a break from training out cruising on his custom made Harley Davidson motorcycle. The near fatal motorcycle crash breaks his leg so badly, almost to the point of amputation and Maier is in the Intensive Care Unit battling infections as a result of a 9 hour reconstructive surgery to peace his leg back together. Maier speaks of waking up after surgery, not knowing if he still has a leg. “during a ski race, a split second will make the difference between victory or defeat. But now much more was at stake.”(Hermann. Page 1) This gives you some insight as to how bad the situation really was.…

He never gave himself great value but in my eyes he was a saint walking among us. I will never forget the moments and favours that Ed has shared with me. Ed, as many would say was a useless cab driver but in truth, I would say he was more of an inspiration and certainly it was an honour to have met this young gentleman.…
