Jacob "Jake" Spurlock
December 25, 2013
Jacob “Jake” Lee Spurlock, 38, was born on December 10, 1975. He passed away on December 25, 2013.
Jake wore his heart on his sleeve, when you were down he would pick you up. Jake charmed everyone with his ornery, jokester sense of humor and his blue eyes. His hobbies were fixing things, playing poker, having numerous toys, making people laugh and smile. You name it, Jake had it – motorcycles, bikes, four wheelers, electronics, etc. He had the best of the best. Jake could turn nothing into something BIG. He will truly be missed by everyone.
Jake is survived by his girlfriend, Crystal Sikes; the “girls”, Stevie and Charli; father, Carl Spurlock; grandmother, Lorraine Cole; grandfather, Waymon Spurlock; sister, Amber Joss (Richie Osborne); nephews, AJ and Dillon; uncles, Terry Ritter and Jimmy Spurlock; aunt, Jan Spurlock; cousins, Michelle and Gina; and many loving friends.
Jake was greeted in heaven by his mother, Linda Spurlock, whom he had missed so very much. He was also greeted by his grandfather, William Cole; grandmother, Shirley “Nana” Spurlock and his beloved dog and “kid”, Zeus.
Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, December 30, 2013 at Hamilton’s Southtown Funeral Home, 5400 SW 9th Street. Family will greet friends from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 29 at the funeral home.
Memorial contributions may be directed to Jake’s family.

He may be missed but now people have less stuff missing glad he is gone and with Lucifer. What a low life thief and this world is better off without him living in it.

Carl,
It's been a long time since we last spoke or saw each other, but I had to express my sorrow about Jake's passing. I very seldom review the obituaries in the Des Moines paper, but the other day when I did the name Spurlock jumped out at me. I have a 38 year old son and I can't imagine what you are feeling. Hopefully knowing that others care and are praying for all of you helps to ease the pain. Take care and cherish the memories.

Jake you will be missed by many. Life has a crazy way of filling our days with agendas. Whether it's family related, work related, or just our recreational hobbies. Although we hadn't hung out in a while when I heard you passed away the memories flew through my mind as if they were yesterday. Where does time go so quickly?
My prayers go out for strength to your friends and family, and that they take time to celebrate your life on earth, as now your new life will begin and you will be healed of all illness and pain. Again, you will be missed, but instead of good bye, I will say, until we meet again!
