Jake was my friend, he was my boss but most importantly he was my brother in Christ. In the years prior to his illness he was a precious and faithful attendee of Maple Hill Baptist Church and it was always a great day when he walked in at church. He will be fondly remembered and loved by those that knew him, especially by Johnny and me. Our prayers for all of you as you continue this life, until we all meet again in Heaven.

Peace, strength and love to you all on this tender journey. So grateful to have had him as my Uncle Jake here on earth. I can just imagine he and Daddy are sharing heaven and stepping on clouds!
