Jake was born in Bismarck, ND on December 17, 1987 son of Ron and Michelle. The family moved to Everett, WA for a short time before moving to Butte, MT in 1992. When Jake was 16 his family moved to Belgrade, MT where he found his forever love Monica Russell. Jake and Monica were married on June 27, 2009. They made a beautiful life together. The love between them was undeniable. Two years later in 2011 Jake and Monica welcomed their first daughter Bentley now 8 years old. Then in 2014 their second daughter Lexi was born. She is now 5 years old. Then in 2018 they welcomed their son Kai who is now 1 year old.



Jake was loved by many. He was known simply as the gentle giant with a gentle spirit. He was a very loyal person, with a great sense of humor. Jake's simple pleasure in life was spending time with his family. As a family they enjoyed going for walks, hiking, barbequing, spending time at the lake boating, bowling, watching movies, and just spending time together. His love for his wife Monica and their children was an unimaginable love. Jake was always involved with his family and had so much love for each and everyone of them.



Jake loved music of all kinds. His passion however was sports. Jake loved softball where he was known as big Jake who hit clean up for his team. Jake also loved playing basketball, where he played varsity for the Belgrade Panthers. He then continued with playing adult league. Jake also loved playing ice hockey. He loved barbequing with family and friends, playing corn hole always yelling winner, winner chicken dinner as I don't think he ever lost.



Jake worked at Gallatin County 911 dispatch for 7 years. He was on the search and rescue team for 8 years and became a Deputy in 2017. Jake and his brother-in-law Brian started a business in 2016, called Outlaw Landscape. Jake always worked incredibly hard for his family to ensure they had the best life possible.
