HILDEBRANDT; Jake. It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our father, husband, brother and grandfather Jake Hildebrandt on April 25, 2014 at the age of 76. Jake is survived by his loving wife Katie, daughter Mandy (Colin), son Mike (Cindy), daughter Tammy (Raymond), sister Jessie (Nick), brother Cornie (Suzie), step children Randy (Marian) and Angela (Paul), grandchildren Sheri (Graham), Michele, Nicole, Jacob and Madeline, step grandchildren Daniel (Daisy), Kairee (Ben) and Kelsey and great step grandson Knox. Jake was born in Neuenburg, Ukraine on July 31, 1937 and immigrated to Canada in November 1948, eventually making his way to the Fraser Valley. Jake had a passion for sports including softball, hockey and fishing. He was also a tremendous handy-man and spent many hours in his workshop working on projects. After many years of service for the municipality of Matsqui/Abbotsford, he found a new love working at the MCC in Clearbrook. In keeping with Jakes’ wishes, there has been a small family service; we hope that you will share a kind thought in memory of Jake. He will be deeply missed by his friends and family who all loved him very much. In lieu of gifts or flowers, please make a donation to a charity of your choice.
