Jake was born February 1, 2001 to mother, Melissa Henrickson and father, Hugh Cornick. He was raised by his mother and father in Albert Lea along with his brother, Hugh Benjamin Cornick, Jr. “Ben”.

Jake had a relentless passion for fitness, MMA, and Flips n Tricks. He inspired many people with his passion. Jake loved his family of pets including Oppenheimer The Destroyer “Oppie”, Alabama Blue “Blue”, Bella, Beauregard “Bo”, Duffy, Pancakes and Kit Kat. Jake had one true love, Andrea Minehart. They spent 5 years together. One of Jacob’s lifelong goal was to tap out dad in Ju Jitsu. This was quite a challenge for Jake because dad was A lifelong martial artist and cage fighting veteran.
