Jake's father, Ray McKinnon, was a coal miner who died of a lung disease when Jake was in his late teens. Jake mostly looked down on his father because of his profession, but Ray was very fond of his son.
Jake's mother, Alice McKinnon, left him when he was in his early teens. Jake has not seen her since.
Siblings
In 1992 Jake discovered that he had a half-brother on his father's
