He was a member of Wabash First United Methodist Church. Jake was an avid Purdue Basketball fan, and enjoyed fishing, lake vacations, drag racing in his early days, and always taking care of his family, friends, and especially his girls. He was a jack of all trades and loved working on the family home, cars, and helping others. Anyone who knew Jake speaks of his kindness, generosity, orneriness, mentoring, and problem solving. Thanks Dad/Pa, we'll take it from here.
