Sep 7 2024 Share

On the day of his final farewell, many have taken to social media and headed to Birżebbuġa to celebrate the life of a beloved figure in Maltese history, Jake Vella.

The young man’s celebration of life started today at 10:30am, with friends, family and colleagues bidding a tearful farewell to Jake.

Jake, who was deeply passionate about both sports and music, is remembered for his dedication to triathlons and his love for music. Despite his struggle with Rapid-onset Obesity with Hypothalamic Dysfunction, Hypoventilation, and Autonomic Dysregulation (ROHHAD), he organised events to raise funds for animal welfare and other causes.

Earlier today Puttinu Cares shared a touching video of some of the young man’s special moments alongside a touching message. The heartfelt message, shared with the public, invited all to the special celebration to commemorate Jake’s extraordinary life and the impact he had on so many people. In the video, Puttinu Cares expressed immense gratitude for all that Jake had taught and for the positivity he brought into the lives of those around him, despite the challenges he faced.

The farewell is not just a solemn event but a celebration of life, paying tribute to Jake’s strength, kindness, and the legacy he leaves behind.

The event is being live-streamed online for those who wish to join.

RIP Jake.
