Jake Owen Firefighter Foundation

Jake Owen, a beloved Son, Brother, Family Member, and loyal friend. A kind-hearted Firefighter with a servant's heart whose selflessness and compassion touched countless lives.

Jake's smile and kind heart were infectious. He loved the Lord, his family, and his friends, and he took great pride in his career as a Jarrell firefighter. He had a servant’s heart and always put others’ needs before his own. His bravery and faith never wavered throughout his fight with cancer. He always wanted to make sure everyone else was okay. He had a bear hug that could cure all worries, and he shared that with everyone he loved.

Jake’s attention and devotion to the important things in life will be remembered and commended for years to come.

The “Live Like Jake” campaign challenges us all to greet each morning with a smile, just as he did, to put others before ourselves, and to love everyone to the best of our ability.

Though his life was cut way too short, he taught us to live each day to the absolute fullest.
