To help my parents with funeral expenses

Donation protected
After 11 years of suffering from a broken heart Jake not only had to suppress putting to rest his son Christopher, but daughter Allyson as well. It saddens us to say Jake Caputo has passed unexpectedly. It would be greatly appreciated if we could come together during this time in helping his parents in funding the funeral cost of their son. Any amount will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Jacob Geno Caputo
Jacob was born on April 13th, 1988 to Michael Ross and Jodie Lynn Caputo. He passed away unexpectedly on January 7th, 2023.

As a child, Jacob was fearless and loved to BMX bike with his cousins. When he wasn’t riding his bike, you could watch Jacob playing a variety of sports. Jake was a tremendous athlete, participating in football and wrestling. After high school, he continued his love for sports and was always on the softball field with his friends and family. Jacob thoroughly enjoyed time spent camping, boating, fishing, paintballing and snowboarding. No matter what Jacob was doing, he was great at it.

Jacob met Christina in Twin Falls, Idaho in 2010. Together they welcomed a precious baby boy into the world, Christopher Michael Caputo. Born very premature, Christopher fought for his life and Jacob was steadily by his side day and night. After two short weeks, Christopher passed away leaving both Jacob and Christina with deep heartache.

Four years later, their hearts and lives were filled with overwhelming love and happiness with the birth of their daughter, Allyson Denise Caputo. She was their rainbow baby and Jacob loved Allyson with every fiber of his being. He was the best Daddy! He loved spending time with Allyson, taking care of her and playing with her. Allyson spent the summer at the softball field, she was Jacob’s #1 fan. The highlight of Jacob’s life was the 10 months he had with Allyson. Tragically, as a result of blatant daycare neglect, Allyson died at just 10 months old. It was Jacob who went to pick up Allyson from daycare that day. It was in every way the most traumatic experience for Jacob. A part of Jacob died with Allyson that day and Jacob was never the same.

Jacob moved back to his hometown of Salt Lake City, Utah. Living in Utah gave Jacob the opportunity to spend time with family and work beside friends as a project manager for SCI. It was always nice to talk with Jacob, he made you feel heard and understood. As much as Jacob loved to tease and joke around, he was the first to be there for you. Jacob found times of peace riding his Indian Motorcycle. His favorite rides were alongside his Dad and many friends.

Jacob will be sorely missed by his parents; Michael and Jodie Caputo, maternal grandparents; Irene and Eloy Aleman, paternal grandmother Anna Marie Caputo, his brothers; Joseph (Ashley), Jordan (Halsey), and sister Julie (Carolina). His nieces; Isabella, Talayah, Tailyn and Londyn who refers to Jacob as her sweetheart, nephews; Izayah and Louie. Who will all miss playing with and being teased by their fun and loving “uncle poo poo.” Jacob had close relationships with his aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who will also miss him very much.

There is a tremendous comfort to know all of Jacob’s heartache is gone with the sweet reunion in heaven with his babies, Christopher & Allyson, as well as a nephew, Landon, and paternal grandfather, Joe Caputo. We are certain Jacob is happier than he has ever been to finally have both his babies, together, in his loving arms.
