Jake was a beautiful soul, wise beyond his years. He was a beloved son and brother who brought joy to everyone he ever met. Jake was unbelievably funny and kind, offering help to anyone who needed it. He was incredibly loving and compassionate, he loved his friends, family, and pets immeasurably.
Jake was a senior at Acellus Academy and was 6 credits away from graduating high school. He planned on attending college locally and dreamed of being a paramedic or entrepreneur. Jake was creatively gifted and loved painting, graffiti, music writing and mixing, rapping, and clothing design. He enjoyed fishing, biking, and hanging out with his close friends and family. He was adventurous and loved to travel, hike, and swim. His last family trip was to Disney World, where he discovered his love of rollercoasters. He was a daredevil and courageous young man, always up for the next adventure.
Jake is preceded by his Grandmother Janet Simmer in Heaven.
