Jacob Harper, 36, of Jacksonville, Florida, passed away on May 1, 2025. He was born in Palatka, Florida.
Jake was a gifted musician who played in many local bands throughout the area. Through his art and music, he expressed a unique and thoughtful spirit that touched the lives of those around him.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Dawn Baldwin Harper, whose memory he held close throughout his life.
He is survived by his beloved children, Elias Harper (Tracy) and Norah Edmondson (Ashley); his sister, Emily Jackett (John); and his nephew, Connor. He also leaves behind many other cherished family members who loved him dearly and will miss him deeply.
Jake will be remembered not only for his artistic gifts, but also for his kindness, sense of humor, and his love of his family and friends. Above all, he cherished his role as a father, offering unconditional love, guidance, and support to his children. His legacy lives on through his family, his art, and the music he shared with the world.
A private memorial will be held by the family at a later date.
