We have many great memories at the family cabin and travels across the U.S. and abroad. Jake is a young man that anyone who met or knew him would be proud to call him friend. Jake's legacy of leadership, service, and kindness will be lifelong. Jake touched many lives, and we are so thankful for all the great memories and the time we had with him.
