This is terribly sad. He was such an inspiration to me and I always looked forward to his videos and podcast. Honestly, was happy to watch any content he was in.

This reminds me of the time he was on ReefBum and they were already probably almost 2-hours in and Keith was wrapping it up and Jake just wanted to keep going. He had a true passion for reefing and will be missed.This is terribly sad. He was such an inspiration to me and I always looked forward to his videos and podcast.

Sane here, I fall asleep watching them on my phone. Soo sad.I’ve been recently starting to binge watch the Reef Therapy podcast by ReefBuilders and I cannot believe this news!?! I’m in disbelief and in awe of the leading, brilliant inspiration he has been in this hobby… ):
I am thinking maybe forum can organize an auction or sale thread.sad news. Im sure everyone can come together for a donation in his name for a reef restoration project or something.
Your not aloneI might be in the minority here, but the first video of Jake's that I came across was of him interviewing someone, and I thought he was a bit of a blowhard. LOL. But the more I checked out Reef Builders, his videos, his mission, the more I realized that his "tude" was just his passion shining through.
Now, I honestly can't go a week without listening to he and Mark's Reef Therapy pod. Such a trailblazer and an asset to the community. I didn't know him and never got a chance to meet him, but he feels like a dear friend. He will truly be missed.
RIP Jake.
