Jake Ryder Johnson was a huge part of the Aurora Burgermaster family. He cared deeply for every person he met while he was at Burgermaster, and had a special skill for getting to know everyone on a deep level and making them feel cared for. His absence is felt astronomically. We want to give back to Jake's family the way Jake gave to everyone around him, so we're raising funds to help his family pay for costs associated with his Celebration of Life and headstone.

Jake was an incredibly talented individual. His life revolved around his love of art in any form including stage drama, musicals, drawing, painting, multimedia art, comedy, and especially music. He touched the lives of so many people with his music and interest in others. Anyone who knew Jake couldn't help but feel special and valued in his presence! Jake also cared deeply about his family and often told stories about those he loved. This is why we want to take care of them, the way Jake always wanted to.

Please help us in sending support and love to Jake's family as they navigate this difficult time.
