Jacob Hunter, known to those who loved him as Jake, passed away in Arizona after a fentanyl overdose that resulted in a catastrophic anoxic brain injury.

Jake grew up in Arizona, where he became known for the kind of presence that felt easy to be around. He was kind without trying to be, the kind of person who made people feel included without making a big deal out of it. He was silly in a way that stuck with you, and adventurous in a way that made life feel a little bigger when you were with him.

Music was a part of who he was, especially the drums. It wasn’t just something he liked, it was something he felt. There was always a rhythm to him, something steady and alive underneath everything else.

Jake will be remembered for his heart, his energy, and the way he moved through the world with a quiet kind of light that didn’t ask for attention, but made an impact anyway.
