Jake was a loving husband, son, brother, nephew, and friend. He was a wonderful father to his three children and was always involved in anything and everything they were doing, from school projects to changing diapers. Jake could fix just about anything and was always willing to help anyone in need. Jake loved to play his guitar and sing. He was always ready for an impromptu jam session. He had a great sense of humor and if you were having a bad day, you were guaranteed to be laughing and smilling before he left you. Nobody could act out a story like Jake. He was a big kid at heart. He was loved by many and will never be forgotten. He will be dearly missed.
