I remember one time when we were in middle school and we were skating at the church across the street from Ridgeview. Jacob, Paige, O’banon, Jake Powell, and myself. And everyone was trying to board slide this round rail. After maybe an hour-hour and a half we all kind of gave up and were just sitting around. But Jacob would not let it go. And after about another 30 minutes of hitting the rail over and over and over again; he got it. This was Jacob. This is how he approached everything in life. I miss him dearly and am upset with myself for not being close in the last few years. He was ALWAYS there for me. Joanne, Jeff, Jessica, and Jason; I love you guys. 

My deepest sympathies for the loss of Jacob. May you find comfort in your hearts. May his spirit be held in peace. Remember the sweetness of who he was. Holding you all in my heart. 

We are so very sorry for your loss. Please know our thoughts and very best wishes are with you and the family on this day. 

Love, The Robertsons

When I got the news that Jacob had passed, I was in absolute shock. I still am at this moment. Jacob was one of the kindest, most gentle, compassionate people I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. He was always bringing joy and laughter into peoples lives. He always had a big beautiful smile on his face and his laugh was contagious. Jacob was also one of the most intelligent people I have known. He was able to carry on conversations about so many different topics. Everything he ever tried to do, he excelled at. Sports, school, friendships, and on and on. I loved Jacob very much and I will always remember him for being such a kindhearted and warm soul. For me spending time with him was always just so familiar and comfortable. It didn’t matter if we hadn’t seen each in years. He was just that type of friend. The first thing he would ask wasn’t “what kind of job do you have or hey do you still drive that same car?” It was always “hey man, how are you doing? How have you been?” He always cared about the important things in this life and I always appreciated that about him. And to Joann, Jeff, Jason, and Jessica. My heart breaks for you. I am beyond sorry for your loss. It was very evident that you all loved him so much.

I am sorry to hear about the loss of such a great man, although years had drawn us apart I will forever remember all the fun we had in our youth. He will be remembered forever. 

I am so very sorry for your loss. Jacob was a very kind and passionate young man. He was cheerful, good natured, and just an overall good hearted person. I loved watching him play football with my son Adam and the rest of the boys. His smile was contagious. I’m praying for you all to get through this time. Just know you will see him again. RIP Jacob, we all love you. 

 I was shocked and devastated to hear about Jacob.  He had the most infectious laugh and positive personality. He was decent, honest and strong. Both physically and in character.  To me he was one of the best friends I ever had the privilege or hope of making. I always looked up to him even if he was shorter than me. The impact he made on my life personally  cannot be understated. Jacob, you will always be remembered. I loved you like a brother and I hope your at peace

 My deepest condolences to his family. I’m sorry fall’s woefully short, I wish you all the best through this trying time.
