CORRECTION: Jalen Dewayne Aker Very Much Alive; Obit Was Fake

  • Friday, March 28, 2025

A recent obituary on Chattanoogan.com listed Jalen Dewayne Aker, 18, as deceased.

He is very much alive.

The person who submitted the obituary to Chattanoogan.com now states, "I recently made an obituary for Jalen Dewayne Aker as a joke and he is not dead.

"I am emailing you to request that the post be taken down because I never meant for it to actually be up. I apologize for any inconvenience and confusion."
