Known by many names – Jacob, Jake, Jay-Cup, Uncle Jake, Jake the Snake, Jacoby, Slim – he was the best son, big brother, and uncle. Jake described himself as big, bald, tattooed, and pierced. But really, he was a big teddy bear with a friendly face, a well-liked co-worker, a fun teammate, a mentor, and a loyal friend. He had a heart of gold, he didn’t know a stranger, he could always make people laugh, and brighten anyone’s day.
Jake was an avid Chicago Cubs fan. He also loved fishing, mushroom hunting, playing softball, cooking on the grill, and visiting Dauphin Island, AL.
