2024 Jake Hoffman.jpg

50 year old Jake Hoffman was the son of Verna and Leonard (Sonny) Hoffman.   He was the husband of Dianne (Jones) Hoffman and the father of  Jacob and Julia Hoffman & Alex and Ava Bilunka. Graduating in 1992 from  North Clarion High School, Jake was proud to be a lifetime member of the community and  Washington Township Volunteer Fire  Department. 

Jake joined the Fire Department at the age of 14 and spent his life dedicating his time to mentor, train and be a brother to all firefighters he encountered.  Raising money, writing grants and improving the WTVFD was one of his greatest accomplishments as well as serving as Fire Chief for many years.  His life was abundant helping others. Jake designed a bed for the safety of the patients  and it was sold to psychiatric hospitals country wide while he served as the  Director of Plant Operations at Clarion Psychiatric Hospital .

Saddened by the untimely death of our community member The MAYFEST Community Association felt it was only proper to continue Jake's legacy and have our 5k in Jakes memory donating the proceeds to the Washington Township Volunteer Fire Department's newest endeavor of creating a Quick Response Service (QRS) in our area that would meet the patients needs until an ambulance arrived on scene.
