Jake Jeffrey Curtis

Jake Jeffrey Curtis was born on December 10, 2006 in Santa Barbara where he lived until his untimely passing on May 18, 2025. Jake was an honor role student at Dos Peublos High School, was an active member of the swim team for 4 years and a member of the surf team. Jake was best known for his love of music, his fun loving spirit and his kind and caring nature. Above all, Jake is remembered for his service to others and his community, from being a part ot Peer Buddies as a young boy to achieving the honor of becoming a Santa Barbara County lifeguard. Jake loved the ocean and he loved the snow. From winters on the slopes of Lake Tahoe to summers spent surfing or skateboarding with friends, Jake loved the outdoors. He was at a pinnacle moment in his young life having just been officiated as a SB County Lifeguard when his beautiful light went out. All that know him are devastated by the loss of this amazing gift to the world. Jake is remembered by his many friends and loved ones as a great friend, patient listener, and a dedicated advocate for those with special needs.

Jake is survived by his mother, Jessica Brown and father, Dax Curtis and his siblings Mylee, Delaney and Jaxon Curtis. His grandparents, Kate and Jeff Brown, Danilynn Falcone, and Susan Curtis. We are all so saddened by the loss of one of heaven’s brightest stars.
