Born in Nederland, Texas, on July 26, 1989, he was the son of Rick Dearing and Marla (Chandler) Dearing. Jake graduated from Bridge City High School Class of 2007. He served bravely in the United States Army for four years. He was an all-around wonderful family man, taking great pride in his children and always making the best of every situation at hand. Jake could often be found fishing, hunting, riding ATV’s, boating, and enjoying the outdoors. His smile could capture a room, and he was always the life of any party he entered, never meeting a stranger. Jake enjoyed life to the max and never took a second for granted. He loved spending time with his children and took great joy in seeing them grow. If it was broke, Jake could fix it. He was endlessly generous, giving all and more than he had to anyone who needed it. He enjoyed a good steak and a full crawfish boil. In his life cut too short, Jake made an impact on everyone he met and will be deeply missed and remembered in the hearts of all those who loved him.
He is preceded in death by his grandfather, Wendell Chandler.
He is survived by his parents, Rick and Marla Dearing; loving wife of three years, Lauren Dearing; children, Carson Moore, Emma Dearing, and Connor Dearing; grandparents, Gary and Darlene Dearing, Cecil and Lyndell Hodgkinson, and Lynette Chandler; great-grandparents, Carl and Marcell Dearing; siblings, Derick Dearing, and Carlee Dearing; aunt, Rhonda Lejeune; uncle, Randy Chandler; uncle, Matt Chandler and wife Brittney; uncle, Brent Dearing and wife Dana; uncle, Clint Hodgkinson and wife Kandis; & uncle, Philip Hodgkinson and wife Angela; along with numerous other beloved cousins, loving family and friends.
Serving as pallbearers will be Derick Dearing, Chad Gilbeaux, Henry Gonzalez, Miguel Gutierrez, Shane Runnels, Eric Gilchriest, and Jess Worrell.

Jake was always a welcome sight. When he came in our store he always had a smile and his sharp wit to make everyone feel at ease. Not often do you meet a young man so full of confidence, but he was extremely smart and had good reason to be self assured. After about the third time he came in our store he was behind the parts counter running his own invoices. I was very impressed with his curiosity about how EVERYTHING worked and how fast he could pick up on how to do something. The last time I saw him he took the time to scroll through his phone and show me pictures of what he cared most about , his family. Our hearts and prayers go out to Jake's family and friends. All of us here at Howards Auto Supply will miss Jake. Every time I pull into the parking lot I see the long black strip of rubber in front of the store and remember the grin on his face I could make out through the blue smoke coming off his tires. Rest in peace Jake you will be missed.
