Obituary
Send FlowersThe Fishing Life
Right from the beginning, Jake Jagoda believed that he had a special knack for fishing, and so he was willing to put up with certain inconveniences. For instance, he was scared of worms.
He got into fishing when he was about 4, but those worms! When he was 9, his sister Mary, who was 3, had to attach the worms to the line. Of course, before she did, she tormented him with them.
He moved on to other lures. He became proficient at fly fishing. "If he saw feathers on a hat of mine and he liked the color, he would take one off and make it into a fly," Ms. Jagoda said. He went deep-sea fishing. He went ice fishing. He trapped lobsters.
Mr. Jagoda, 24, grew up in Huntington, on Long Island, and every chance he got he grabbed his pole and went fishing. One Mother's Day, his gift to his mother, Anna, was to take her to Connetquot River State Park to fish. Afterward, he complained that she didn't care enough about catching a fish — she just liked the scenery.
When he was 13, he started working on a fishing boat. After college, he became a tackle salesman, working weekends on a party boat that took groups fishing off Long Island. "This last year, Jake was sort of growing up," his sister said. "He wanted more of a regular job that you would commute to and where he could have more of a future." So, at the beginning of the summer, he became a trader at Cantor Fitzgerald. For the first time, he learned how to use a computer. He continued to live in Huntington, and every chance he got he went fishing.

Just wanted to let you know you are not forgotten! I was thinking about everyone, but especially you and Angela Rosario who worked at Tradespark who I called daily to confirm trades, with from Houston, Texas. Last night as I have done for all these years, I prayed for your family and friends who suffered the loss of you. May God continue to be the light in their eyes and the hope they need to know that they will some day see you again! God Bless! ❤

I am still so sorry for your loss. I feel somewhat of a kinship as my last name is also Jagoda. I was at the 9/11 Memorial Museum in September 2019 and first learned of a Jagoda that was one of the many who perished on 9/11. I pray for God to ease your pain.

Jake, I never had the pleasure of meeting you. But your mother and late brother were wonderful friends and mentors to me when I was a high school student. I knew that you were a big Wagner enthusiast, so I think of you, as well as your family, every time I see a Wagner opera. I am deeply saddened by the tragedies that have afflicted your family and can only hope that life brings other joys to assuage the pain of losing you and your sister and brother. Dona eis requiem; dona nobis requiem....

Jake, Im thinking about you as always, but especially today. I so enjoyed confirming trades with you @ Tradespark each day. You always put a smile on my face even though I talked to you from Houston, TX. Prayers for your family even though I know you are with them in their hearts still today. Valerie

Sending our heartfelt condolences to your family. May God always give the needed help and support everyday. Words will never remove the pain but they show that others still do care about your loss. Jake is still missed and will not be forgotten.
