Jakim was only 17 years old and the youngest of 6 children. He was academically brilliant, lively, insanely athletic, vibrant, jokey, and the most fun loving soul. He carried a maturity far beyond his years and he loved his family dearly. He was a phenomenal basketball talent and artist. A true creator, he brought a confident, happy, and calm vibe into any room that he entered. His life was just beginning as he winded down his junior year of high school with such excitement for what was in store for him and his future. His beautiful and loving spirit will be missed by all who knew him, especially his family and many friends.

On the evening of April 3rd, 2026, Jakim's life was tragically cut short in a car accident. The shock and pain of this loss is unimaginable for his family. As they navigate this heartbreaking time, they are faced with unexpected burial and funeral costs, as well as the challenge of covering living expenses while they grieve and are unable to work.

Any donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. Thank you for your kindness and compassion during this incredibly difficult time.
