On August 8th, Jake passed away unexpectedly while working out of town, leaving behind his wife, Shannon, and their dog, Journey. As their sole provider, his sudden loss has left them heartbroken and facing an uncertain future.

Jake had the kind of heart you don’t forget. He was a very hard worker who always put his whole heart into everything he did. He was the first to offer help, the last to complain, and would gladly give you the shirt off his back — even if that meant he had to do without.

He found joy in life’s simplest moments — from spending time with family to relaxing at home with Shannon and Journey. They were his world, and everything he did was for them. His loyalty and love for those close to him ran deep, and he left an impression on everyone lucky enough to know him.

While his family is waiting for details about what happened, Shannon is already facing the heavy financial strain of moving forward without him. Donations will help cover essential living expenses, bills, and other urgent needs during this difficult time.

Any help — whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser — would mean the world. Thank you for your compassion and support. ❤️
