Dennis Jacobi Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 14, 2025.
Dennis joined his beloved wife JoAnn Jacobi (nee Woelfel) in heaven on July 1, 2025, at 77 years of age. He was the loving, protective, hard-working father of Laura (Brad) Jacobi, Rob Jacobi, Brian (Erika) Jacobi, and Theresa (Geoff) Costa; and the ultra-proud, devoted, and always entertaining Grandpa "Denny" to Zeylia and Mariana.

Dennis was also the consummate big brother to his siblings Darlene, Dan, Debbie and Doreen and their spouses, and a loving uncle to many nieces and nephews. Further survived by many other relatives and special friends, Dennis was a straight shooter, made everyone laugh, and always helped when you needed it.

Dennis served honorably in the Navy, was a Vietnam Vet, and loved his country and fellow servicemembers. He was a loyal and reliable driver for Milport Enterprises in Milwaukee for four decades. When not working, he loved sports and physical activity, hunted and fished whenever he could, and was well-known for his spot-on deer, turkey, and waterfowl calls. He will be dearly missed.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, September 13, at 1 p.m. in the Milwaukee area. Contact a family member for details. St James City -
