Jacob Vann Obituary
Attica - Jacob Kyle Vann, 29, Attica, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, November 24, 2022 at 9:41 a.m. at his home in Attica.

He was a life resident of Attica and graduated from Covington High School in 2013. Due to his cerebral palsy, Jacob was unable to work, though it did not deter him from living life to the fullest. He was a video game addict and enjoyed his time fishing and watching U Tube. He was a wrestling fan and the Undertaker was his favorite wrestler. He enjoyed being a jokester to his family and friends, always having a smile on his face.
Jacob leaves behind his mother, Joy (fiancé-Channing Shackelford) Blankenship, of Attica; a brother, Brandon Vann, Norfolk, VA; two sisters, Shawna (fiancé-David McCartney) Blankenship, Attica and Victoria Vann, Chesapeake, VA; his paternal grandmother, Ellen Vann, Chesapeake, VA; nephews, Brayden Kirby, David McCartney; a niece, Jalynn Kirby and a cousin Austin Blankenship. He was preceded in death by his father, Dennis W. Vann; his maternal grandparents, Reed and Hope Blankenship along with his paternal grandfather, Henry Vann.
Friends may call at the Maus Funeral Home, Attica, on Tuesday, December 6th from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. Services will be held at the funeral home on Wednesday, December 7th, at 11:00 a.m. with Pastor Josh Barnett officiating. Burial will follow in the Riverside Cemetery, Attica.

Jacob, we used to be best friends when we were kids. People and yourself considered me your little girlfriend, we were just kids. But I did and still love you. We lived two houses away from eachother. When you moved is when we lost contact, but I never stopped thinking about you. I always hoped you were happy and healthy. It brings me great joy that you continued to love games, as that is what we used to love doing together all the time. I remember how your wheelchair couldn’t go up and down the broken down sidewalk. So I would push you up and down it so you didn’t feel left out. If anyone would’ve told me what happened I would’ve been there. I am so sorry Jacob. I love you so much and I wish you could’ve had more time here. Atleast now, wherever you are, I hope and want to believe that now, you aren’t suffering, and can walk and do all the things you missed out on. From your old also disabled best friend, “child girlfriend”, I love you and I can’t wait to be able to see you again wherever you are. -Hannah.
