He was born on November 3, 1979 in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin at St. Croix Health. Jake grew up in the Chisago Lakes area and attended Chisago Lakes and Pine City High schools. Jake was a very charming man, having been known as being easy to talk to and fast at making friends. He enjoyed and spent a lot of his time taking apart and rebuilding old cars as well as collecting old trucks. Some hobbies of his included fishing, specifically ice fishing with his daughters every winter, building computers, and playing videos games with his dad, brothers, and children. His daughters were something he always cherished and loved. The good memories will remain in our hearts.
