I only remember Jake as a child but even then he was amazing and funny, he really could make us laugh. I am sure we are all thankful for the memories. Loosing someone so young is never easy. I am sure he is up in heaven with his glass of champagne and still making people laugh. Keep all the beautiful memories close in your heart

Jake was a good friend of our daughter and visited our home many times, always bringing amazing energy and a huge smile. He created the most beautiful cake for our son's 18th birthday which is why we have lovingly referred to him as "Jake the cake man" since then. Our hearts are broken for your loss. We will miss him.
