The world of artisanal baking has been left in shock following the tragic news of the murder of Jacob Carter, co-founder of the popular Howdy Bagel franchise, during a vacation in New Orleans. The outpouring of support that has followed his untimely passing shows the amount of people he must have impacted.
The Birth of Howdy Bagel
Howdy Bagel, a beacon of the Tacoma, Washington community, was born out of adversity. Carter and his husband, Daniel Blagovich, both found themselves laid off from service jobs in 2020. With time on their hands and a shared passion for baking, they began experimenting with bagel recipes. Their creations quickly gained popularity among friends and family, leading to the establishment of Howdy Bagel.
The couple initially operated as a subscription service and pop-up in West Seattle before relocating to Tacoma. Their bagels, described as a cross between New York and Montreal styles, were hand-rolled, long-fermented, boiled, and baked. The result was a product that was soft and chewy on the inside with a glossy, crispy exterior.
More Than Just a Bakery
Howdy Bagel was more than just a bakery. It became community space in Tacoma. The bakery quickly became a hub for the local community, with customers often queuing for an hour to get their breakfast. The lines that wrapped around the block in the bakery’s early days were a testament to the impact Carter and Blagovich had on their new community in Tacoma.
A Tragic Turn of Events: Why Was Howdy Bagel’s Jacob Carter Killed in New Orleans?
Tragically, Carter’s life was cut short while he and Blagovich were vacationing in New Orleans. The motive behind the horrific crime has not been publicly disclosed at the moment. There are many theories floating around on social media, but no official word from investigators has been released. The news of his death sent shockwaves through the communities he had touched, from Tacoma to New Orleans and beyond.
The Jacob Carter GoFundMe
In the wake of Carter’s passing, a GoFundMe page was created. The campaign quickly gained traction, raising over $130,000. In addition that amount came from only 2.2K donors so far, which is an average of around $61 per person. This overwhelming response is a testament to the impact Carter had on those around him and the high regard in which he was held.
Remembering Jacob Carter
As social media mourns the loss of Jacob Carter, his fans also celebrate his life and the legacy he leaves behind. They point out his passion for baking, his commitment to his community, and his unwavering positivity in the face of adversity will continue to inspire those who knew him.
His legacy will live on in the hearts of those he touched and in every bagel that comes out of the Howdy Bagel oven.
