Jacob "Jake" J. Starks
Fond du Lac, WI - Jacob "Jake" J. Starks, age 28, of Fond du Lac, passed away Sunday, December 22, 2019, of an accidental heroin overdose. Jacob never wanted to be defined only by his addiction and mistakes, he was so much more than that; hiding his cause of death will help no one.
Jake was born February 12, 1991 to Tammy (Schoppenhorst) Freund and Luke Starks. Jake received his GED in 2015 and his Technical Diploma in Computer Drafting-Mechanical in 2019. He was employed with All Tools NDT Inspection Service.
The things Jake loved most in his world were his nephew, Cohen, his family and friends, fishing, going to shows, and his cat "Kitty Girl". He always wanted to make people happy; a trait known to him through and through.
Jake is survived by his parents, Tammy Freund (Rick Gurno Jr.) of Fond du Lac and Luke (Ka) Starks of Oshkosh; his sister, Mackenzie Starks of Fond du Lac; his brothers, Gage Starks (girlfriend, Katie Vogl) of Fond du Lac and Dylan Parker of Oshkosh; step-sisters, Alexis Thao of Porterville, CA and Michelle Thao of Oshkosh; his nephew and Godson, Cohen Starks; his maternal grandmother, Karen Keil of Berlin; his uncles, Tim Schoppenhorst and Terry (Lori) Schoppenhorst both of Berlin. He is further survived by cousins; other relatives; and many many friends.
Preceding Jacob in death were his paternal grandparents, Walter & Marianne Starks; his maternal grandfather, Merlin Schoppenhorst; his aunt, Jaculin Starks; and his niece, Crystal Parker.
