Professional golfer Jake Knapp's girlfriend, Makena White, has died suddenly at the age of 28. A close friend of hers confirmed the news on Instagram, but did not publicly reveal the cause of death.
Previously, Makena White herself had mentioned on social media that she had been suffering from tachycardia (rapid heartbeat) and had planned to undergo two cardiac and one vascular surgeries.
Her family and friends have asked that their privacy be respected during this difficult time.
Her good points and contact:
Education and career: She was a resident of Ottawa, Canada. She graduated from McMaster University with a degree in communications and software engineering and later worked in surgical sales.
Personality: Her friends and acquaintances described her as "one of a kind" and someone who had a "big heart that was always overflowing with love" and who had a rare ability to make others feel special.
Support and Love: She was deeply supportive of her boyfriend Jake Knapp and often stood by his side at golf tournaments. Their hug during Knapp's first PGA Tour win went viral.
Charity: To honor her memory, her friends have asked that donations be made to the Bruyère Brain Health & Memory Clinic or the Griffin Bell Endowment Fund. Makena's mother received treatment at the brain health clinic after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
Hobbies: She was adventurous, loved to travel, and did things like skydiving. She loved her dogs.
