I have 3 Hurricane Super-Nuker sails that were custom made for Jake many, many years ago - found his story online - sadly never knew him. Happy to give them to you as I live local in the Gorge and they are not safe for use anymore, but thought they might hold sentimental value to the family...Please let me know. Matt

Dear Jake
After a year you are still a beacon of inspiration for me and I look foward to my thoughts of you for the rest of my life.
Love Richard

Jake,

I made some great deep powder turns for you today. You will always be missed.

Judy and the girls, We are thinking of you all the time right now up here on snow covered Summit Drive. Wishing you peace and sending you comfort and love from Adam, James, and Victoria

When I brag about my dear friend Jake I use the words..."The funniest man I have ever met". He knew the right way to look at life, so fresh and full of charisma, he moved through life with such confidence. He could make the whole world listen, because he had so much to say and when he said it...you were sure it would be well thought out and interesting. His intelligence was evident, his zest for living his life on his own terms was achieved and in choosing Judy for his amazing, creative,...

I knew Jake in high school. He was smart, kind, funny and most of all, compassionate. We have lost a ray of sunshine that enlightned and warmed all of our lives. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

Anyone who knew Jake looked forward to being in his presence. He was a gentleman in all situations and added immensely to whatever he was involved with. I am better off for knowing Jake and will miss him. His life was far too short. My sympathies to his Judy and the girls.
