Jacob Larry Burris

Jacob worked for me a number of years ago teaching GED classes at the County Jail in Williamson County, Texas. He was a terrific addition to our organization and always went the extra mile. Besides being an employee, Jacob and I had a friendship that continued after I retired and moved from Texas to Missouri.
We kept in touch on the telephone intermittently over the years and since I hadn´t heard from Jacob in quite a while and not had any phone calls returned, I searched and was profoundly saddened by the news of his passing.
I will remember Jacob as a fighter...he had health issues when he worked for me and I actually took him to the ER myself on two occasions. I always admired his strength and resilience and not letting anything block his path or diminish his spirit. Most importantly Jacob was a good man and anyone who got to know him was better of because of it.
I am so very sorry for my lateness here and I send my sincerest sympathies to Jacob´s family and friends.

My condolences. Praying for the family and dear friends Troy and Louetta. May the Lord comfort your hearts. Charlana Kelly

I remember when I was coaching at Westwood and Jacob was playing baseball for little league. In a championship game, he pitched a no-hitter and hit 3 home runs. He was the best little baseball player I have ever seen. See you soon bro.
I love you, Troy

Uncle Larry when I was a kid always got along. Wrestling in grandmas living room during holiday dinners and talking wrestling like the Von Erick´s and such. He will be missed.

Jacob was knowledgeable about cars. I trusted his judgement and he helped me buy my favorite Highlander. He found the car for me and negotiated with the dealer for the best deal for me. I still have it and am truly grateful to him for his expertise and help
