Anyone who knows Jake will know he’s a character.
"Sport was Jake’s everything. From playing football at Haslingden Juniors Football Club to running for Rossendale Harriers, but his main love was for cricket and golf. He was a great bowler; a talented golfer and he always knew how to keep everyone laughing. He was a larger-than-life character, a team player and a joker that never took life too seriously.
