Jake was such a kind person and it seems like he had a way of making anybody he was around feel like he understood them. Just an incredible presence and hardly ever any conflict with him around. Witty and unique-absolutely his own person. He loved cycling and racing- he was so very good at it. The memories of traveling and racing with him on a couple of teams over the past 13 years will be what I have to hang on to now. I had the privilege of knowing him and I’m so thankful for that. It will never make sense and I hope that I can be more like the person he was. And many thoughts and prayers for those who loved and knew Lennie 💔
