I went to elementary school, middle and high school with Jacob. I played soccer with him for several years. He was such a good team player and an awesome goalie. He always brought a smile to my face because he was so kind and sincere. His light on Earth will be missed but let him shine bright where he rests in peace. Rest easy Jacob. You will be missed.

I remember Jacob attended our Preschool at West Elementary back in 2000. He was a very sweet boy. When his brother Jesse was born he was such a proud brother. He showed off his baby brother every chance he got. My sincere condolences to Laura and Jesse.

Jacob was a sweet boy who loved his family. We will remember Jacob from the good times we had at the lake house in North Carolina.
We are so sorry for this great loss but know Jacob is with God.
