Mayor Linda Gorton celebrated the life of Jake Gibbs at a news conference Friday where a plaque was dedicated in his honor one year and two days after the death of the Councilmember.
“Jake made his time on earth count for good,” Gorton said, referring to Mr. Gibbs as a staunch defender of the environment, avid walker and cyclist, and lover of books and trees.
Joining Gorton for the news conference were Mr. Gibbs’ friends and family, members of the Downtown Lexington Management District Board and Councilmembers.
The Management District has placed a new plaque honoring Mr. Gibbs in the sidewalk in front of Alfalfa’s, the restaurant he once co-owned, now located at 141 Main St. The plaque depicts a tree with deep roots and honors Mr. Gibbs as a “dedicated servant to his community.”
