It is with profound sadness and broken hearts that we share with you the passing of Jake (Jacque) on Sunday, March 5, 2017. Adored and loving son to Lisa and Chuck, brother and best friend to Cole. Treasured grandson of Marian, Allan, Noreen and the late Frederick Thompson and the late Carol Rose. Beloved nephew of Jennifer and Darryl, Jonathan and Sue, Cristine, Terese, Ted and Barb, Jill and John. Jake was a fun-loving cousin to Nicole, Marissa, Sophia, Donal, (Peggy), Clara, (Damon), David, Michael, (Trisha), Courtney, Kevin, (Harmonie), Sara, Hunter, River, Jack, Sophia, Emma, Adriana and Olivia. Jake had special bonds with Rhoda Villar and his dog Sami. He will be sorely missed by his many, many, dear friends.
Jake had a deep appreciation of music. He had a magnanimous personality, was quick on his feet and a natural athlete. He was bright, compassionate, insightful and had a voracious appetite for new experiences and adventures at home and abroad. Jake’s engaging spirit will live on in all of the lives he touched.
A Celebration of Jake’s life will take place on Saturday, March 11, 2017, 2:00 p.m. at The Four Seasons Hotel (Aria Room), 60 Yorkville Avenue, Toronto.
