Jacob Paap Obituary
Jacob Daniel Paap was born on June 1, 1981 in Lincoln, NE the son of James Allen "Jim" and LoReeta Jo Baker.
Jake grew up in Malcolm, NE. He attended school in Malcolm and later attended Lincoln East High School. Following high school he lived in a variety of places. Jake elected to be an organ donor. We hope his recipients have long happy lives.
Jake was so loved and will be tremendously missed. Jake intensely disliked mournful funerals and asked there be no funeral, rather his life be celebrated in a laughing, happy gathering. A date to be set in the future. Please, when you think of Jake smile or laugh.
He is survived by his mother LoReeta Baker of Ft. Collins, Colo., his father Jim Paap & wife Susan of Lincoln; siblings: Tanner Paap of Milford, NE, Chance Paap of Lincoln and Shasta Paap of Bend, OR; niece Aspen McCoy of Bend; maternal grandparents: Dr. Harry & LoRee Baker of Nebraska City; aunts, uncles, cousins, other family and friends. He is preceded in death by his paternal grandparents Allen Paap Jr. & Phyllis Paap.
The family requests blood donations, in Jake's memory, in lieu of flowers.

Our hearts go out to all whom loved Jake. Definitely brings a smile or laugh when I think of Jake from when he was a little boy to sharing a home(party house) with our Matt. Jake made an impression on all those he met, and gone way too soon. May happy memories in time help ease your sorrow
