Jake enjoyed playing in many sports when he was younger, especially basketball and softball. He loved spending time with family, especially his grandchildren.

He was always happy, had a great sense of humor, always making people laugh. Jake called everyone, “Kid”, even the Judge once, which cost him an extra week. He was always generous even when he had nothing. Jake was the founding father of the “50 Cent Crew.” Everyone liked Jake, he made friends everywhere he went.
