The family at his side consists of his parents Wayne King (father), Crystal King (stepmother), and Cindy Domecq (mother) and his immediate family; Trev King (Kallin Wawrzyniak, Wesley Elam), Jessica Christensen (Daniel Christensen), Chelsey King (Brandon Mayo), Brady King (Kerensa Campos), McKaylee Domecq (sister), Ellie King (sister), Eva Christensen (niece).

Jake did several jobs for me. He was an honest hard working man. I valued him not as a contractor, bur as a friend. I will miss him dearly.
