We are deeply saddened to learn that Jake Boykin passed over the weekend.

Jake was a bright young professional and aspiring researcher who had touched the lives of many. He was very active with TACSM during his time as a student at Texas Tech University, where he studied under Dr. Grant Tinsley. In fact, Jake received one of the 2021 TACSM Student Manuscript Awards. He also was actively engaged in research and presented at each TACSM while he was a student member. Jake continued his education at Florida State University with Dr. Mike Ormsbee.

In the words of Dr. Tinsley, Jake brought forth passion, joy, and excitement to his peers, lab mates, mentors, and those who knew him. He was a talented and kind person.
