Jacob "Jake" Garver Siddoway

May 3, 1983 – June 22, 2022

Jacob Garver Siddoway- beloved son, brother, and father born on May 3, 1983 to Dr. Paul Ryan Siddoway and Mary Ellen Siddoway, passed away suddenly at the early age of 39 on June 22, 2022 in Tampa Florida. Jake had found his own little paradise living on the Bay in Tampa with his beautiful daughter Hunter.

Jake grew up in Butte, Montana. He was an exceptional hockey player and proudly played in several state championships with the Butte Blues. In his sophomore year of high school he was recruited by the Vail Colorado Avalanche where he graduated from high school and went on to fiercely compete and proudly represent Butte throughout the US and Canada in the AAA hockey league. Jake graduated from the University of Montana where he received a B.S. in Biology. He led a successful career in the medical field as a clinical research manager with Senseonics in Germantown, Maryland and was critically involved in the development of a new implantable glucose monitoring device to help improve the life of those suffering with diabetes.

Jake was truly unique. He excelled at everything he did from a very young age. He often went beyond his comfortable limits in all he pursued to accomplish more than one thought possible. He had the courage to live beyond the boundaries of traditional thought and he took pride in meeting and overcoming challenges. He had little tolerance for injustices and an innate sense to protect those in need. He spoke his mind, his truth and never looked back. He loved the outdoors, fishing, hunting and hiking, yet nothing was more important to him than love for his daughter Hunter. She was in fact his world. He had a strong, fit stature and wore his self-created tattoos like fine art. He had a smile that would melt your heart in an instant and the glimmer in his eye shined directly from the center of his soul. Jake was a beautiful complex man, who has left this earth way too soon.

Jake is preceded in death by his grandparents: John and Beverly Siddoway and Leonard Schabadach. He is survived by his daughter, Hunter; Deb Yan mother of Hunter; parents: Paul and Mary Ellen; brother, Nick; future sister in law, Jocelyn; sister, Megan and brother in law, Jake Reid; niece, Millie Mae and nephew, Ryan River; grandmother, June Schabdach, and a large extended family of aunts, uncles, and cousins.
