Jacob (Jake) W. Roehn

Jacob W. Roehn, born on December 5, 1994, passed away unexpectedly on July 16, 2025, at his home in Glendale, Arizona.

Jake was a joyful, fun-loving soul whose presence could light up any room. He was a kind man whose energy and adventurous spirit touched the lives of many. He had a remarkable gift for making others feel seen, welcomed, and genuinely loved.

All who knew Jake knew that he had a deep passion for baseball, the outdoors, and his cherished dog, Lila. He lived life fully and with so much enthusiasm, always giving his whole heart to the things he loved, whether it was time spent with the people he cared about, watching the Cubs, fishing, or making some of his best memories around the grill. He proudly considered himself the master of the smoker and he took joy in sharing his meals with family and friends.

In Jake’s professional career, he found purpose, connection and he valued his time with the WW Clyde team where he was a Deputy Project Manager and was considered a “Leader of Leaders.” He brought the same dedication, work ethic, and heart that he carried into every part of his life. He wasn’t just a valued employee, he was a trusted teammate and someone others could always count on. Jake took pride in doing the job right, but even more so in helping others learn to do the same. He always made time to mentor, guide, and assist those around him, sharing his knowledge with humility and a genuine desire to see others succeed. His positive attitude, sense of humor, and generosity left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of working beside him.

Jake was a devoted son to Ron Roehn (Michele) and Stephanie Roehn (Troy), and was deeply loved by his sisters, Shannon (Matt), Amanda, and stepsister Kyli. The bond he shared with his family, including extended family, was unbreakable and filled with love and an immeasurable sense of pride.

Jake also found his soulmate in Hannah Rowan, the love of his life. He loved her deeply and wholeheartedly, and together they dreamed of a future filled with laughter and love. She brought him joy, strength, and comfort, and he cherished every moment they shared.

Jake’s absence leaves an immeasurable void in the lives of all who knew and loved him. His light, love, and legacy will live on in the hearts he touched.
