About Jake

Jake Vinyard was an avid baseball player and talented drummer. He had a vision of going to culinary school in the fall of 2014.


Jake lost his battle with depression in April, 2014, when he took his own life 7 days after his 19th birthday.


We hope to honor Jake's life in an effort to save others.
