Miss you Jake Dog it was a pleasure to lay streets with you back in the day and establish a friendship.
I still see Jake as that sweet two year old my dad carried on his shoulders around the block in Centerville at granny’s house the first time we met him. Constantly chattering away. Our cousin-in-love. We all loved him so very much. Praying a peace that passes all understanding for his family during this time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of Jake’s family and friends. Jake was one of the cutest little boys we ever knew. I hope this time of quiet peace heals the hearts of all who knew and loved him. We know he will be missed by all.
