Jacob Herman Hamoen Obituary
Surrounded by family on May 1st 2020 at the Columbia Forest Long Term Care in Waterloo, Jake in his 74th year went to see his Lord and Saviour. Beloved husband of Toni (Servos), Brother of Betty Carrol (Micheal), Ann Dekker (Jack), Dirk (Barb). Loving father of Allison McMurray (Patrick), Trevor (Alison), Jennifer, Chris (Michelle), Steven (Emily), Michael, Kate Flemister (Mike), Jeffrey (Megan).
Step-father of Shawn Court (Carolyn), Ryan Court and James Court. Opa to Leiden, Spencer, Andrew, Daniel Adam, Mikah, Kieran, Elianna, Gabrielle, Isabell, Jacob, William, Lillian, Gabriel, Simon, Ameila and Layla. Jake touched many lives both professionally and personally. His life story of optimism, faith and love has brought special meaning to many people he has met over his lifetime, more importantly over the past eight years since his accident.
The glass was always half full with him and his positive nature certainly gave all who met him a different perspective on life. His love of guitar and music will be deeply missed. Special mention to Calvin and Hobbes and the Farside Gallery, an inspiration to the infamous "Jake Jokes". We are profoundly grateful to Columbia Forest for the amazing, loving and caring and safe "family" that they provided for Jake.
Because of all restrictions due to Covid19 internment will be limited to immediate family. A memorial will be held at a further date for all to gather and celebrate Jake's life.
