Jacob Garrett "Jake" Roberts, 23, of Nineveh, Indiana, passed away Saturday June 25, 2022.  He was born March 16, 1999, in Franklin, Indiana to Edward L. and Jennifer E. (Black) Roberts.

Jake was a 2017 graduate of Indian Creek High School where he was a member of the Future Farmers of America and the high school golf team.  He previously had been a member of the Hopewell Boys and Girls 4-H Club.  Jake showed cattle at the Johnson County Fair.

Jake worked alongside the family business, Honey Creek Auto Service and NAPA Auto Parts, in Bargersville, IN.  Jake enjoyed anything on wheels, modifying any car or truck he purchased.  His friends called him "Rod" , for his love of cars and trucks.  He loved grilling and making pizzas for his family.  He went on numerous vacations with his family to Pensacola, Florida, where he enjoyed deep-sea fishing.  Jake and Ricky (his beloved chocolate lab) spent time in the streets of Morgantown, IN where they would go long boarding with Ricky pulling Jake on his board.  Jake had a special bond with Sydney, his sister.  They teased each other and he was always poking fun at her.  He will forever be missed for his friendliness, chattiness, and his smile.  Jake was very social and would do anything for anyone.
