Fabio Spiteri Gets Jake Vella Tattoo
Local
Maltese triathlete and Iron Man Fabio Spiteri wanted to keep his late friend Jake Vella’s memory alive – and he did so by getting a tattoo of the young hero on his side.
The tattoo had the dates of Jake’s birth and passing (2009-2024) beneath an image of the always motivated young ambassador in action.
Jake, who suffered from ROHHAD (Rapid-onset Obesity with Hypothalamic Dysfunction, Hypoventilation, and Autonomic Dysregulation), passed away late last August after a period of hospitalisation.
Despite his medical challenges, Jake showed an indomitable spirit, always learning and raising money for animals.
Rest in Peace Jake!
