Jacob D. Turban, age 88, passed away peacefully May 31, 2021, at home surrounded by his family. Beloved husband of Sharon Turban. Loving father of Cheryl (Michael) Ballenger, Cynthia (Robert) Williamson, Jacob Turban, Beth Turban, and stepfather of Lindsay (Maurizio) Goldoni and Sara (Gary) Berthold. Cherished grandfather of Matthew and Alyx Ballenger, Tara Simonis-Brunner, Lauren Simonis-Hunter, Anastasia and Blake Berthold, Marian Goldoni. Dear brother of Henrietta (Ron) Haffey, Anna Jane Runyon, Catherine Fetterhoff. Fond uncle of many. Preceded in death by his parents Jacob and Catherine Turban and siblings Jack and Mark Turban.

Jacob served in the US Navy during the Korean War. He was a math teacher at Elk Grove High School for over 35 years, since the opening of the school.

Jake's interests and hobbies included sports, chess, bridge, reading, walking and pool. He also enjoyed collecting hats, college mugs and chess sets. Jake and Sharon also loved traveling and spending time with family.

Jake's method of encouragement to his students goes back to his own education. "While you are learning you look at the trees. When you review, you get the whole forest."
