Jake was a proud veteran. He was also the former owner of JABA Trucking Services whom loved driving trucks and taking road trips. He was an avid fisherman, who loved just being on the water. He cherished family gatherings and cookouts. Especially when it came to boiled seafood. think he could probably eat boiled crabs every day for dinner. He had such a will to live and enjoyed life. During his 91 years of life he traveled, He hunted, he fished, he worked hard and made many memories. Most of all his family meant the world to him and his wife whom he loved fiercely.

The family would like to give a special thank you to his caregiver Laura Martin for the love and care shown to Joseph and family.
