World War II veteran and Tiktok star “Pope” Jake Larson died at 102

The stands are paid to the American star of World War II and social media Jake Larson, known online as Pope Jake, who died at the age of 102.

Larson was among the Allied troops in D-Day, who attacked Germany’s Nazi forces on northern France in 1944, helping to end World War II.

In a later life, he embraced social media and won 1.2 million Tiktok followers, where he shared stories in honor of World War II and his fallen comrades.

Three weeks ago, he won the Emmy Award with British-Iranian journalist Christian Amanpur for their interview marking last year’s 80th anniversary of D-Day.

His granddaughter McCaela Larson told Tittok that he died on July 17, but “he went quietly and even breathes jokes to the very end.”

“I am so grateful for sharing my dad Jake with all of you. He meant the world for him,” she told his followers about his period by Daddy Jake Tittok.

“As Dad would say, I love you all the most,” added McCaela Larson.

She asked her family to receive privacy, but said she would continue to share Dad Jake’s stories and keep his memory alive. ”

“I didn’t even know what a tyktok was until my granddaughter sent it to me one day,” Jake Larson said when he asked him about the app.

He also served in the US Army in the Battle of Blut during World War II.

Prior to the Union invasion of occupied France, when he was 19 years old, he was located in Lurgan, in Northern Ireland.

Larson has been visiting Normandy several times for D-Day commemorations in recent years.
