Obituary | Service and visitation today, Dec. 23, 2024, for Jacob Daniel Reich, 26, of West Bend, Wi

Jake was born to Michael and Sandy Reich on July 3, 1998.  He was raised in West Bend and graduated from West Bend West High School.  Jake has always had the biggest heart of gold.  He always had a big smile and a helping hand for everyone.

 He made everyone laugh all the time with his great personality.  He had a way of making everyone he met feel welcomed and loved.  Jake had a love for his family that was remarkable.  He loved fishing and hunting with Big Kev, 4 wheeling, starting fires, watching Packer games, playing bags and spending as much time as possible with his family up north.

Jake loved to work.  He always kept himself busy.  He was an electrician for H&H Electric and he loved his job, his boss, his coworkers and all of his customers so much.  He was so proud of everything he did and we were all so proud of him.

He was such a patient, kind and loving person with an old soul.  Jake was the best son, brother, grandson and friend anyone could ask for. Jacob was the most beautiful chapter of so many people’s lives and will be so incredibly missed.  Our lives will never, ever be the same.
