Unexpected Loss of Husband and Father

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of John Stanley Esposito, known as Jake to most, born in St. Augustine, FL, on July 14, 1991.

Jake left this world on December 28th, 2023, from cardiac arrest, caused by an enlarged heart. He is leaving behind a legacy of love and friendship. He was a devoted sibling, caring son, proud father, loving husband, and a loyal friend. His sudden departure has left a void that cannot be filled, but his spirit will continue to resonate through the countless lives he touched. Jake was a devoted husband to Caroline and the greatest father to their beloved son, Ryder Esposito. Jake's role as a husband and father brought a special brightness to his life, and his memory will forever be a source of inspiration to those who witnessed the depth of his love for his family.

Jake's journey through life was marked by a genuine passion for connecting with people. His love for family and friends was always paramount. He brought comfort and happiness to all, and his absence leaves a profound loss.

Most importantly, Jake found his greatest joy in spending quality time with his son, Ryder. Jake was a kid at heart and loved getting outside to play with Ryder and the neighborhood kids or his many nieces and nephews. Ryder was the light of his life and he was so proud of his little boy. His legacy will live on in his eyes.

Jake's departure is an important reminder to treasure the moments we have with our loved ones. In the wake of this profound loss, let us remember the joy and laughter he brought into our lives.

The family of John Esposito has organized this fundraiser to give him the memorial he deserves, honor his memory, and help his family.
