Jake was truly an awesome person! He would go out of his way to make someone else feel more comfortable or would always get the whole room full of people laughing till our sides would hurt. His personality was as huge as his heart was kind and the world was definitely a brighter place with him in it. He will be missed by many and never forgotten. . . RIP Jake
