Jake was born in Baltimore Maryland on January 7, 1989. Even as a little boy he was curious and full of life. Baseball was his first love! As he grew into a young boy he was the best pitcher on his team, he had an awesome arm on him! He also turned into a fantastic hitter! Jake loved sports; he later played football for his high school. He wore number 16 for the Westview Wolverines! He really loved playing football. Jake also fell in love with the water. He surfed all the time. I believe he felt free out in the ocean. Surfing was a passion of Jake’s, as well as playing the guitar. Jakes Dad and along with a good fried Micah helped to teach Jake how to play! He played “Stair Way To Heaven” all the time, it was one of is favorite songs! Jake loved so many things, he really embraced life. He was very close to his family. There’s a lot of love between all of us. Every time before he would hang up the phone he’d say “I Love You”! He also loved his friends, he has wonderful friends. I can see why he loves them so much. These are the friends you keep forever! There a lot like Jake. They are loving, caring, very good hearted, and always wanting to help! Jake was and still is one of a kind! He was wise beyond his years! Smart and funny! Just a wonderful spirit! So full of love and life! He will always be with us all!
