Jacob Bassett Obituary

Bassett, Jacob. C., beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend, passed away Thursday afternoon, May 12, 2011. He was 19. Jacob was a resident of Cooper City and graduated from Cooper City High School in 2009. He was a student at the University of North Florida and planned to major in graphic design. Jacob loved music, and played the trumpet in grade school before falling in love with the guitar. He spent the summer of 2008 in San Salvador, El Salvador working with the organization Handmaidens of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to help build a school for an orphanage, and one of his fondest memories was playing guitar with local musicians to entertain the children. Jacob is survived by his mother and stepfather, Suzanne and Andrew Ryan; his sister, Nicole Andrewski; his grandmother, Mildred Andrewski; his father, Charles Bassett; paternal grandparents Hugh and Judith Ryan and Lynn and Sharon Bassett, and a host of family and friends who loved him.

At one time Jacob worked at Tree Tops Park and in his honor the park's flag was flown at half-mast after hearing of his passing - the photographs of Jacob that were posted here are an inspiration to anyone wanting to volunteer overseas - may he rest in God's peace...
