Jacob John Deware, 20, of Belmont died November 8, 2020 from injuries he sustained from doing something he loved; dirt biking with friends and family. He was born in Laconia, September 12, 2000, the son of John W. and Jennifer L. (McNamara) Deware. He lived in Belmont his whole life, at the age of 10 he started his own company J. D. Enterprises mowing and yard care; which he was still operating. He graduated from Belmont High School, class of 2019. He thrived in sports, but being the soccer goalie was most definitely his passion and thrill. He also was on the ski team, lacrosse for a while and baseball. Senior year he joined the robotics team which he rocked and loved creating his own robot. While in high school he attended the Huot Center in Laconia; plumbing and heating. He was employed by PENCO of Gilford as an apprentice plumber where he was making great strides on becoming a master plumber. He also enjoyed and was so good at running excavation equipment for his dad. Jacob was a member of the Tilton - Northfield Arch Trail Travelers Snowmobile Club; where he loved maintaining the trails. He coached at the Highland Mountain Bike Park in Northfield and was a member of the New England Hill Climbers where he was able to mentor so many younger riders.

He enjoyed life to the fullest. He took life and ran with it. Worked hard at what he loved and played even harder. Biking, skiing, hill climbing, boating, snowmobiling, hunting and trapping, fishing, ice fishing, camping, pond hockey, making maple syrup, gardening and canning, raising turkeys, helping others, hanging with friends, playing poker and cribbage. Jake's heart was huge, always helping others in need, or just lending a hand and volunteering because he liked to. He enjoyed mentoring younger kids in whatever he was doing. He sure loved to play and spoil his Nephew Bryson; who would always give Uncle Jake the biggest smile. He used to love working on his diesel truck and driving around in his 1976 Chevy K10. At the age of 16 he got his motorcycle license and bought himself a Harley in which somehow he was able to put on 1000's miles each year. His latest passion was his $400 boat in which he customized into his personalized cruising machine, loving the lake life with his friends and girlfriend Sydney.
