Jake William Wallace, 21, of Montoursville passed away on Wednesday, January 22, 2025 from a vehicle accident.
Jake was born on December 23, 2003 in White Plains, NY and is the son of Eric Wallace and Jessica Kepler.
Jake was a graduate of Montoursville High School and was employed by Steve Shannon Tire & Auto Center, South Williamsport. He enjoyed going to the Gym and working on cars. Jake was a talented mechanic and was always available to help when a friend had car trouble.
Jake was affectionately known to his family members as Jakers, JakiePoopers and Poops; all nicknames that have been with him from birth to adulthood. As the eldest of four boys and the second eldest cousin, he had many who looked up to him, admired him, loved him, and loved being around him. Always a beautiful child, he grew into a handsome man who brought lots of smiles to those around him. His smile was infectious, as was his energy. Becoming a father at a young age brought its challenges but he loved his son fiercely. He is deeply loved and will be greatly missed by all. We all share in the words that his mother would say to him, “I love you from my windowsill to the farthest star.”
In addition to his to his mother Jessica Kepler of Montoursville and his father Eric Wallace of Florida, he is survived by three younger brothers Aiden Wallace, Christian Calehuff and Cooper Calehuff all of Montoursville, a son Maverick William Wallace of Hughesville, grandparents Cynthia and Larry Lewis of Florida and Lisa Kepler of New York, aunts and uncles Meghan (Terence) Dolan, Frank (Erika) Spinelli, Glen (Casey) Iannarelli, Scott Wallace and Denise Gangemi all of New York, and many close cousins Elissa Ferris, Tiernan Dolan, Joan Dolan, Liam Dolan, Frank Spinelli, Loredana Spinelli, Thomas Spinelli, Gianna Wallace, Mason Wallace, Kaylee Iannarelli, Emma Iannarelli, Tracy (Keith) Harmon, Donna (Gabriel) Guthartz, Regina Poniros, Isabella Pazoga, Ryan Harmon, Emma Harmon, Julia Fortier, Giovanna Lisikatos all of New York.
