In the early hours of Sunday, March 23, 2025 we lost Jake Anders Martel in a tragic motorcycle accident.

Jake’s time with us was far too short, but the love, joy, and inspiration he brought into the world will never be forgotten. He lived with passion, embracing every moment and leaving an undeniable mark on the hearts of all who knew him. Though we grieve this heartbreaking loss, we can choose to honor his memory by living as he did- fully, fearlessly, and with purpose, reminding ourselves to cherish every day, just as he would have wanted.

From an early age, Jake showed a passion and drive like no other. Jake’s life was a journey led by his desire to be the best version of himself in every way. His work ethic was infectious, and he pushed those around him to be better than they thought they could be. He overcame obstacles and great adversity, and through his battles, Jake found optimism, peace, and love. In his next chapter, he hoped to share these things with the rest of the world.

Our goal is to establish a memorial scholarship fund in memory of Jake. Our intent is to honor and promote the character and qualities he embodied, including a passion for growth and learning, overall health & wellness, tenacity in pursuit, and the mentorship of self and others that he so believed in.
