Jake was a retired roofer, who worked most of his career for A.F. Smith Roofing Company in Hannibal.
Jake served his country proudly in the United States Army.
In his free time Jake enjoyed assembling model cars, hunting and whittling canes. An avid reader, Jake preferred to read a classic western novel. Going on his daily walks, watching St. Louis Cardinals baseball and car rides with his brother Jim were a few of Jake's favorites. Life's simple pleasures were most special to Jake. He liked to sit on his porch swing and spend time with his nieces and nephews. A gifted storyteller, Jake could be funny and stubborn at times. Throughout his life Jake was a hard worker that loved his family. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
Pallbearers will be James Lain, Bucky Gollaher Jr., Jim Van Hoose, David Shepherd, Toby Lain and Billy Joe Culp II.
