Jacob Listorti

Jacob Matthew Listorti of Severna Park, a 25 year-old loving and energetic spirit, passed away on Jan. 26, 2019.

Jake was born to Michael A. and Lucille G. (Gillespie) Listorti in Baltimore. Jake graduated from Severna Park High School in 2011 after playing an active role in the Severna Park athletic community during his childhood. He went on to attend Lycoming College where he graduated in 2015 with his Bachelors in Business Administration and was a proud member of Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity.  After college, Jake began his career at Meade High School where he is familiarly known as “Mr. L”. Teaching was more than a job to Jake. He not only devoted himself in the classroom, but also coached baseball and wrestling and served as a mentor to many students. He was an immensely popular teacher with great compassion and empathy for the often complex situations his students faced; his legacy of love and benevolence will live on through them.  During his time at Meade, Jake graduated from the F.B.I. Citizens Academy and was currently working on his Master’s in Administration at Goucher College. In his personal life, Jake was a lifelong music and sports enthusiast, attending concerts and sporting events whenever he could.  His great love was serving his family and friends, giving his love, affection and humor at every opportunity.
