JACOB ANDREW AGAR (JAKE), 21, of Little Rock, Ark., passed away on Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2013, in Fayetteville, Arkansas. He was born on Jan. 20, 1992, in Little Rock, Ark., to parents, Jo Ellen Stover and Andy Agar. He is preceded in death by grandparents, Dr. Drew and Ruth Agar, and Gene Wallace. He leaves behind to cherish his memory his grandmother, Betty Wallace; parents, Jo Ellen (Bill) Stover and Andy (Lauren) Agar; brothers, Drew and Jason Agar; sister, Lindsey (Kevin) Irwin; step-brother, Reed Stover; aunts, Sarah Wallace Hickman, Kristin Agar, Cynthia East, Stephanie Wallace; uncles, Bob East, Scott and Greg Wallace; cousins, Collins and Miles Hickman, Natalie (Lelon) Williams, Hannah and Sam Wallace; Cash (Bright) East, Lizzy East; and devoted girlfriend, Alex Sullivan. Additionally, he leaves a tremendous group of adored friends. Jake attended The Cathedral School, Catholic High School for Boys, and graduated Cum Laude from Episcopal Collegiate School in 2010, where he served as co-captain of the football team and was also named an All-State soccer player. He attended the Walton School of Business at the University of Arkansas and was a member of the SAE men's fraternity that he whole heartedly embraced. He was honored to serve as rush co-chairman for the fall pledge class of 2012. Jake was an exceptional person, constantly in motion, with an infectious spirit and a genuine positive outlook on life. He was the consummate leader, protective big brother, and self-appointed social chairman amongst his friends. His energy level was unparalleled as he was a gifted athlete, a fierce competitor, fueled by a mind that was in constant motion planning his next adventure. Jake had a love of music that he shared with his mother and was a natural born, self-taught musician who spent hours playing his guitar. Jake loved his Grandmother's lake house where he, his family, and friends spent countless hours swimming, boating, clinging to an inner tube, swinging in the hammock, and playing ping pong matches where losing was not an option. These are the memories that will never be forgotten. We will deeply miss Jake's genuine heart, extraordinary sense of humor, and his mastery of the quick comeback. God blessed us with the gift of Jake, and we will all celebrate the day that we are reunited with him in heaven. A memorial service celebrating Jake's life will be held at Pulaski Heights Methodist Church, 4823 Woodlawn Drive, Little Rock, Ark., on Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2013, at 11 a.m., with a reception to immediately follow at the church hall. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Wolfe Street Foundation. Arrangements by Ruebel Funeral Home, www.ruebelfuneralhome.com.
