Jake was one of 8 Boys surviving as a proud brother to Jeremey, David Jr, Ricky, Josh, AJ, Luke, and Hunter. In West Grove, Jacob would become a sports fanatic taking up Football and Baseball. He would go on to take his talents and love of sports into his high school career at "Avon Grove High". After High School, Jacob would find his career as a carpenter and worked at Partition Plus.

In his spare time he enjoyed spending time with his family and watching all his favorite sports teams the Philadelphia Phillies, Eagles, Flyers, and Seventy Sixers. He will be remembered for his fearless and outspoken nature. He had a burning love of automobiles. The pride he took in his car was second to none. Sporting a one of a kind custom Honda Accord everywhere he went. He will also be sadly missed by his loving maternal grandmom, Cynthia Kirkendall, aunts, uncles, cousins and many dear friends.
