Jacob Michael Romero

In Loving Memory of

Jacob "Jake" Michael Romero 

December 28, 1990 - February 8, 2026

Jacob "Jake" Michael Romero, age 35, passed away on February 8, 2026, leaving behind a family and community who loved him deeply. Born on December 28, 1990, Jake brought laughter, energy, and light into the lives of everyone who knew him.

Jake is survived by his loving parents, Michael Romero and Karen Romero; his sister, Katrina (Romero) Flores and her husband, Nic Flores; his sister, Keanna Romero; his grandparents, Robert Romero and Jane Romero; and his grandfather, Joe Stuckman. Many aunts, uncles, and cousins survive him as well. He was a beloved son, brother, grandson, uncle, and friend whose presence filled every room with warmth and humor.

Jake had a natural gift for making people laugh. His passion for stand-up comedy was more than a hobby-it was part of who he was. Whether he was telling jokes to friends or performing, he found joy in bringing smiles to others. He also loved skateboarding, hiking, and camping, always embracing adventure, and he did his best to live his life to the fullest. Jake had a big heart, a playful spirit, and a charm that earned him many friendships-and yes, he certainly loved the ladies.

Above all else, Jake cherished time spent with his family, especially his nephew, Knicqo, and his two nieces, Kina and Kalylah. He treasured his many friendships and deeply loved his two dogs, Macey and Marvin, who were his constant companions and brought him endless happiness.

Jake left us far too soon, but his laughter, love, and unforgettable spirit will live on in the hearts of those who were blessed to know him. His legacy is one of humor, adventure, and deep connection-a reminder to live fully, love openly, and never miss a chance to share a laugh.

He will be forever missed and forever loved.
