Jake Donovan Gallegos' Obituary
Our “Son” Jake Donovan Gallegos received his wings and is now with the Lord. Jake played little league football and on to High School where he attended Kearns High, he was an exceptional player. Nobody could take him down, at times it took the entire team to tackle him, yes, little Jake. Jake battled drug addiction, with this life it didn’t change the person he truly was. His laugh and smile you could hear and see a mile away, not to mention his looks, SO handsome. He had a love for working out, drawing, writing, playing the guitar and acting like a kid playing video games with his brother (Danny), niece and nephews who loved him dearly. They loved their uncle Jake so much, he would always crack jokes and make them laugh. He cared whole heartedly for his family and friends. He loved his siblings so much, they will miss him more than he’ll ever know- Audrianne Gallegos (Anthony), Jessica Kierstead (Brayan), Druellie Kierstead (Misi) Danny Kierstead (Liz) and cherished his Niece (Elysia), Nephews (Izac, Donavan, Devon, Jeremy) so much and loved his parents like no other (Dan & Alisha Kierstead) as we all did for him.
The kids were raised with having dogs but Jake was attached and an outstanding dog man that cared so much for them. They gave him comfort, he would roll on the floor with them like he was one of the pack. He is with a very large pack right now that has been waiting for him at the gates. No more struggle Son. The time has come that you now watch over us. So, loved by your family whom always wanted the best for you and cared for you so deeply. ~ Fly High with The Angels ~
