Jake Imhoff
April 20, 1991-January 12, 2010
John James “Jake” Imhoff, 18, passed away from complications of pneumonia. He was born April 20, 1991 to Bob & Susan Imhoff.
Though he’s never known life without cerebral palsy and its numerous complications, Jake has lived a life of love and has been a great teacher of compassion, tolerance, and the power of just being.
Jake leaves behind his mom and dad; brother, Beau; sisters, Cait & Allegra; Maria Nino and Karinna Ortiz; grandparents, Janet Mann-Kalm and Michael Kalm; Carol Ann Imhoff; Mike Mann; and many loving aunts, uncles and cousins. He is welcomed into heaven by his twin brother, Little Joe, and his grandpa Jim (Imhoff), and many others who have been eagerly awaiting his arrival.
We’d like to thank all his teachers, caregivers, doctors, the staff at West Jordan Care Center, our wonderful friends and all who have loved Jake throughout his life. Know that he’s enjoying a great big belly laugh and a crooked smile as he thinks of you all.
Mass of the Resurrection will be celebrated, Friday, January 15th at 11:00am at St. Ambrose Catholic Church, 1975 South 2300 East, Salt Lake City, where his family will greet friends one hour prior to the service and immediately after the service, in the Church Social Hall, during a celebration of Jake’s release from this human existence.
“Jakie, play, laugh and jump in Heaven. Have so much fun, meet Little Joe, make new friends and we hope your happiness never ends. Talk to God, live in love and watch over us from above. Rest in peace, never ask why, you’re in our hearts, we love you, goodbye” –with love, Cait.
