Derek Jacobs

Happy 22nd birthday in Heaven Derek. You are missed so much! Another day has gone by, but you are never forgotten. We have memories, pictures and wonderful stories of you and how proud we all are and I am sure wherever you are now you are just as amazing!

Love, Aunt Jill

For Mr. & Mrs. Jacobs on this day, Dereks Birthday.

I just thought of you, as I often do,
And found myself smiling again.
Such a sweet little boy, our pride and joy,
I remember how you were back then.

Running, jumping, tumbling about,
Claiming the world as your own.
Undaunted by anything under the sun ...
Keeping track of each inch you had grown.


Always exploring, trying new things.
Inventing ways to fill up your day.
Pushing the limit ..but not crossing the line ...
Such an boy in your own charming way.

Unending questions ... you wanted to learn
Everything there was to know.
Curious about how stars got up in the sky,
How music reached the radio.

I cherish the moments when for no reason at all
You would stop what you were doing and run ...
Straight up to me with a hug and a kiss,
Saying : "That's 'cause I love you".

My heart is just bursting with pride!
You don't even realize how special you are ...
But the world sees the goodness inside.

Sometimes I wondered why I was born..
What good was I sent to do?

I now know the reason I was meant to be here
Is because the world needed you.


~My Friends~
No matter what you do in your daily life. I know you always remember how truly special your little boy was, not only to you but to so many other people.
Peace be with you Always!

I remember seeing derek on ripley's believe it or not. what a genius!! im deeply sorry for what happened. he's helping jesus with his computer problems.

Just dropping by to say hi and to let you know you crossed my mind today and I send my prayers.

I have no words to express to you how badly we feel about the loss of Derek. But it was great to talk to Jeff this week! Karen & Wayne

Rest in peace. We all still miss you.

****Remember Me****

Remember me when you're lonely
Remember me during your high & lows
Remember me as you laugh & joke with friends
The experiences we shared will never end
I hope I touched you in my own way,
But if I didn't you'll think of me & I will one day
Remember me when you look up a the sky
Knowing that my spirit flew so high
Beyond the gates of this world
Into a better world
Whether a friend, or a family member, I'll remember you
Just as long as you promise to remember me too
Don't cry because you are sad,
cry to celebrate my life.


*****In Memory of You*****

We want to always remember
The beautiful life you lived
And keep alive the memories we have
Through remembering what you did

For you’re so special to all of us
A wonderful person indeed
Your love, laughter and warm smile
Reflected a heart that believed

Just in the everyday things we do
We remember your faith and love
In the words you spoke to help us through
Is a continued reminder for us

Although we miss you so very much
We know we’ll see you once more
For this is the hope we have in God
Being re-united in the Lord

And as we gather we’ll continue to share
Special times we went through
For these are memories that warm our hearts
As we honor the memory of you

God Bless you Mr & Mrs Jacobs
Forever in my heart and Prayers
