Jake Scudder Obituary
Jake Scudder, 47 of Montague, passed away Friday, December 30, 2022. He was born July 12, 1975, in Shelby, the son of Phillip (Bud) and Connie Scudder.
Jake attended Montague and Whitehall High Schools. At a very young age, he started driving cars, dirt bikes, and heavy equipment that developed into a love of motors. He is known as a "legend" in driving heavy equipment and semi-trucks. Operating heavy equipment was not only a job for Jake, but an art form. One of his jobs that he enjoyed was building snow cross tracks for the Michigan snow cross series (MSXRA). Basically, anything that was fast or had a motor, Jake loved and knew how to maneuver.
He will be remembered by many young & old for teaching them how to ride dirt bikes. He loved music blasting from his car & garage, working on cars/motors, alpine skiing, super cross, music festivals, driving fast, and enjoying life!
Jake is survived by: mother, Connie Scudder; children, Case Scudder (21), Karter Scudder (12), and AbbyLynn Scudder (9); siblings, Jodi (Keith) Hartlaub, Phil Scudder, Vic (Karrie) Scudder, Jesse (Marcia) Scudder, and Jamie (Chuck) Priese; Jake respected each of his children's mothers, Shelly Willard and Bobbi Scudder; He continued to have a special relationship with his step-daughter, Janelle Wilkinson; Maggie Foster (significant other) was a bright light in Jake's life and brought him much love & happiness;
Jake was a good friend to many. Everywhere he went, he greeted others with a hug & smile
Jake was preceded in death by: father, Phillip (Bud) Scudder; brother, Tom Kamrowski; and grandmothers, Jean Meinert & Eunice Scudder.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to help with funeral expenses & funds for his younger children.

I, like many I'm sure, find myself wishing I could talk to him just one last time. If so, I would tell Jake how much I admired his love and interaction with his children. I would thank him for the adventure and hands on learning experiences he provided for my own children, and for truly being their "uncle jake" in every sense of the endearment. I would tell him how much I appreciated his friendship while I had it, and for all the deep talks we shared about life in general. I would thank him for his kindness and generosity of his time, and for his willingness to help a friend whenever he was needed. My heart is so broken to hear of his passing.
My condolences go out to all of Jake's family and friends. He was so easy to love because he loved. He will be truly missed.
