His zest for life was contagious, reflected in his love for his wife and kids, outdoors,Red Bull, the music of Eminem, TV show NCIS, and The Christmas movie. Christmas time was his favorite time of year! 

A Patriot's fan, Jacob, enjoyed a game of checkers and spending quality time with his family. Active and energetic, he loved running and playing ball with his kids. His preferred vacation spots were Hawk’s Nest and the beach. Locally, playing with his kids was his most cherished activity.

His favorite color was green, and his personality was best described as funny, goofing off all the time, always making everyone smile. Lite up every room he walked into. He lived by the philosophy that life is too short to be depressed and unhappy, reminding everyone that tomorrow is never promised. His advice to all was to express love freely and frequently.

Jacob leaves behind a legacy of greatness as an amazing father and husband. He will be profoundly missed, but never forgotten.

Love you daddy! 😘
