Jacob Francis Aich, 36, of Hutchinson, died January 4, 2025. He was born January 20, 1988, in Hutchinson, to Donald Aich and Jeanne Davis.

Jake graduated from Kingman High School in 2006 and received his BSN from Hesston College in 2020. He worked as an OR nurse at Hutchinson Regional Medical Center for 4 years.
