Default Jake Dykstra Sr.

Dad, Big Jake, The Cookie Man.......Jake Dykstra Sr. passed away this evening with all of us by his side. He had many friends here and in the car community made over his lifetime. Known for his larger than life personality, jokes, love of family and friends, and most importantly being a great Dad and Grandpa. He will be missed greatly but his legacy will live on.

Wow, wasn't expecting to wake up and read this.

Feeling very sad for the family's loss and holding you all in our thoughts.

I will never forget Dad bang shifting the 409 with open exhaust and 4:56’s when I was 7 and Jake was 10 years old.
I will always remember the smile on our faces hearing that car scream! Our Dad was a LEGEND. Godspeed
Like Jake said, his legacy will live on.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know that my time with my dad is short and I'm trying to spend time with him as much as I can.
