Jake graduated from Austin High School in 2005, received a Bachelor’s in Science degree from Athens State University in 2014, and was employed by Whole Sale Pump and Supply.

He was a lifelong member of Central United Methodist Church of Decatur.
Hubz’s hobbies included boating, music, spending time with friends on the Tennessee River, deep sea fishing, hunting and Auburn football. He is best remembered for his gregarious and outgoing personality, his contagious laugh, love for his friends and family and his love for life.
Jake was a beloved son, brother, nephew, and had many friends of all ages and walks of life. Special friends included Abby Vest, Peyton Johnson and Savanne Hammond.
In lieu of flowers, his family would appreciate donations in his name to his favorite organizations, Ducks Unlimited or Alabama Wildlife Federation. Checks can be mailed to 1607 Eastwood Drive, SE, Decatur, AL 35601.
