FESTA -- Jacob "Jake" Ryan Festa, age 20, beloved son, brother,and father went home to his heavenly Father, Wednesday, June 3, 2009. Jake was born and lived his entire life in Albuquerque, NM. He was always so full of life, so vibrant and full of energy, and although his life was short, he lived it in such a way that he left his mark over much of the city that he so loved. Jacob's remarkable way with words, both written and spoken often left the rest of us speechless, he used them to make us laugh most of the time, sometimes they caused a smile, sometimes tears and frequently they just left us downright angry. May God grant us all the gift of long memory so that we never forget his beautiful smile and quick wit. Jake is survived by his precious daughter, Brody Rayne Muratori; his loving mother, Rose Rodriguez; his brothers, Joshua J. Festa, and Robert T. Roth all of Albuquerque; his sister, Ashley Rose Roth of Lubbok, TX; his beloved soul mate, Siobhaen Muratori-Kelley of Albuquerque; his nephews Malaki Drake, Steven Alexander and Tristan Aiden all of Lubbock, Tx., numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins of Texas and Hawaii; and a host of friends. Pallbearers will be Johua Festa, Christopher Rodriguez, Matthew Rodriguez and Angel Oliva. Honorary pallbearers will be Niko Schaad, Greg Schaad and Jesse Payne. Jake's care is entrusted to:
