Jake A. McGrady – our son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend was taken from us suddenly on January 21, 2013. Our hearts ache but we are comforted to know that Heaven has a new angel. Jake was a Junior at Corona Del Sol High School in Tempe and was an excellent athlete excelling in the Corona sports program including football and track and was an avid basketball player with his friends. Jake’s family and friends will miss his shining smile, and his wonderful, quick witted sense of humor. Jake said many profound words in his short life that will ever be remembered and will bring smiles as we remember Jake in the years to come. There are beautiful memories of times with Jake. Every time we pass the schools, the stores, the sports fields he loved so much, the streets and sidewalks that he traveled either to play or come home, our eyes will sting, our throats will choke up remembering the time spend with this extraordinary young man. Jake is survived by his parents, Kelly and Patrick; sister Cassandra; brothers Vance and Dustin; maternal grandparents Jack and Sharon Clooney; paternal grandparents Harold McGrady and Janet Burghardt; a host of Aunts, Uncles and Cousins; and many friends who loved him very much. A Celebration of Jake’s Life will be held 1:30pm, Saturday, January 26, 2013 at the Arizona Community Church, 9325 S. Rural Road, Tempe, AZ 85284. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made in Jake’s behalf, to the Corona Del Sol Football Program, Corona Del Sol High School, 1001 E. Knox Rd., Tempe, AZ., 85284. “Our hearts cannot withstand this mortal wound and we rely on time to heal the pain we now know”.
