... banjer picker extroadinaire! Jake died in a tragic accident along with his mother and father.March 27, 2011 in a lonely field outside of his home in Dickens, TX. He was a devoted husband to Rhonda, and absolutely adored his three children Eli Jackson age 9, Maggie Marie age 7, and Ella Rose age 5...now, all a year older.

Jake played the banjo, wrote great songs for many bands, including The Karl Shiflett and Big Country Show! He also joined us here locally as a band mate for festivals, and concerts!
