This is such sad news. I always new Jake was a favorite of Elvis, and in recent years got to enjoy him through his involvement with the Bill Gaither Homecoming specials... Now he is with his wife, the Lord and Elvis..

I am so sorry to hear that Jake has passed away. he will be missed greatly from me as well as all the fans around the world. He will be greatly missed . R.I.P. JAKE We all miss you. Our thoughts are with his family at this time of grief. We have lost a great friend of Elvis , who backed Elvis in the 1970s , at concerts .
