Jake Smith Memorial Fund

June 16th, 2019 (Father's Day) Jake was involved in a motorcycle accident that took his life.  His family, friends and children are devastated by this tragic event.  He touched so many lives in so many ways, but his children, by far, were the most important part of his life.   Throughout the short period of time he was here with his children, his world revolved around bringing smiles, laughter and stability to their lives.  He was such a fantastic father and created so many memories for his children.  He was looking forward to more field trips, building forts and igloos and the many other amazing things that fathers do with their children as they grow up.  

The family has had such an outpouring of love and support from so many people that were involved in Jake's life asking 'what can we do'.  We are setting up this page to accept donations to set aside for his children as they continue to grow and adapt to this loss.   We request, that in lieu of flowers you consider a donation to his sweet children.  This fund will be managed by Jake's family to provide for his children in the coming years.

Many of you who know Jake, knew he lived life to it's absolute fullest.  He was full of gratitude for both the successes and hardships that he endured during his 35 years.  He loved his family deeply and opened his arms to anyone that needed a friend.  His spirit was strong and powerful and everyone was drawn to his fun and exciting personality.  He will be deeply missed by all he encountered during his journey in this life.

Thank you (in advance) for any donations to his children.  Please feel free to offer any comments about Jake.
