Jacob Fellman Obituary

Jacob Wayne Fellman, 31, of Great Falls, died Saturday, Oct. 22, of injuries he received on a construction site in Great Falls.

His memorial service is 1 p.m. Thursday at Croxford Funeral Home, followed by burial at Pleasant View Cemetery in Belt, and a reception at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Belt.

Jacob was born Aug. 25, 1980, to Douglas and Katherine (Yoakum) Fellman in Great Falls. He attended school in Belt, and graduated from Great Falls High School.

He married Amber Jean Dawson on May 18, 2003, in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

He was a loving husband, father, son, brother and friend, who enjoyed spending time with his family. He loved to hunt, camp and spend time outdoors. He was a fun-loving, hard-working man whose main priority was providing for his family. He was a peacemaker amongst his siblings.

Jacob was loved by all with whom he came in contact. He would give the shirt off his back to make another person's life easier. Jacob will be deeply missed by many. We love you so much, Jacob, more than words can ever express.

Jacob is survived by his wife, Amber; daughter Kayli; stepson Izahik Dawson; and parents Douglas and Katherine Fellman, all of Great Falls; sisters Randi (Mike) Holley-Clark of San Diego, Calif., and Staci (Rod Ledford) Fellman of Belt; and brothers Jeremy (Julie Olson) Fellman of Bismarck, N.D., and Johnathan (Rosenda) Fellman of Belt.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a trust fund for his children, Kayli Fellman and Izahik Dawson, at Teacher's Federal Credit Union.

I am so sorry for your loss. What you are experiencing is unimaginable in every aspect. Im at a loss for words, but know that if you need anything, anytime, or just need to talk I am here for you Amber.
