He loved the area, and enjoyed the peace and tranquility of raising animals and riding on his tractor.

Special thanks to Dr. Shamo and Dr. Smith, and Brent's many neighbors for their kindness and helping hands. A sincere thank you to Ray Searle for his selfless, compassionate and endless caring.
All who knew “Jake” loved him. He was best friends with his wife, Linda. His many friends will sorely miss this fun loving man, his stories of Hooter Jones and his claim of being “Sheriff of Tupelo, Mississippi”!
