For the past 15 years, he worked as a Technology Specialist for the St. Stephens and St. Agnes Episcopal School in Alexandria. He enjoyed kayaking, hiking, biking, traveling and spending time with loved ones.

He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Hoke Currie Jr.; his sister, Margaret “Meg” Currie-Coyoy (Luis); nephew, Emilio; niece, Marisol; many aunts, uncles, cousins, and his partner, Heather Pritchett.

We are forever grateful for Heather’s constant care of Jake over the last 22 months.
