Jake graduated from Prospect High School in 2016 where he excelled in football and wrestling. Hobbies included fishing and his lifelong devotion to the Chicago Cubs.
Most notably, Jake was a warm, loving soul who cared deeply, wore his heart on his sleeve, and had the natural gift to make those around him bust out in laughter. He could bring smiles to a room as well as listen to those in need. Jake had a zest for life – whether selecting the right spice while playfully preparing a delicious meal or wearing a creative outfit for a fun night out. He lived life fully with a no holds barred approach along with a genuine spirit that truly touched people’s hearts.
