Haven’t seen Jake in over 8 years but he was never once forgotten about. He was always thoughtful, kind and sweet. He was a big inspiration to me from a very young age, teaching me to never give up on something I love with my whole heart no matter what. A Young soul taken from us to early, rest easy Jake 🕊️🤍

Kellie and Tommy
In 2008, a bright-eyed 9-year-old walked into our gym and instantly became part of our lives. Jake was full of smiles and laughter, lighting up every room he entered with his infectious energy. From the very beginning, his passion for Taekwondo was unmistakable. Through years of training and competition, his dedication never wavered.
But Jake was more than just a student—he was family. His presence brought joy, his have a go attitude inspired others, and his journey became big part of the community. We are forever grateful for the time we shared with Jake and the memories he gave us. Forever in our hearts.
Sue Lamshed and Ned Watts
