Jacob was an avid athlete; he loved and played every sport with overwhelming enthusiasm. He was smart, funny, artistic, and a best friend to all. His daughter was his absolute pride and joy. He would go to any length to make people laugh, and simultaneously correct their grammar. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
He struggled for many years with addiction that unfortunately he was unable to overcome. In lieu of flowers, please donate to any charity helping addicts and their recovery.
