My son Logan played quarterback at jcm high school in Jackson Tennessee and Jacoby would come over and work out with him. Logan was the only QB that he wanted throwing him passes. Jacoby was such a good person and a good friend. My family is saddened to hear of his passing. God bless you Jacoby you will not be forgotten. Cecil poore

Met Jacoby at Lane College. He was always a stand up guy and kept a smile on my face when I was home sick. I appreciated the time I got to get to know him. He will be deeply missed. My prayers go out to his son and mom during this time.

To Jacoby's Family...I am a season ticket holder of the Ravens. I have an original Vinny Testeverde jersey. I want you to know that bar NONE, Jacoby is my favorite player. I was in Denver with my daughter when he caught the Mile High pass. I could not believe my own eyes. I was with my whole family in New Orleans for the Super Bowl and witnessed the great plays Jacoby made. I could not believe my eyes. But my most heartfelt memory is of watching him at every home game in the end zone dancing seemingly until the last second when he had to go forward to field the ball. I have his picture and his bobble head in my Raven Maven room. I have cried a bucket of tears over these past several days thinking of the loss of him. But I know he will forever be in my heart. I hope you know how much I mean that. Bless you, THE Raven Maven, Mindy

I met Jacoby in NOLA years ago. He was so full of JOY. He was so kind and funny. At the time we met, I didn´t know how successful he was. He was humble and kind. I am heartbroken. May God wrap his loving arms around his loved ones. Praying for love and acceptance.

Whenever I think of Jacoby Jones, I think about his incredible balance and dexterity. He was one that made everything look easy, as the great ones often do. He seemed to infect everyone with his joy and zeal. Life does not seem fair, but it's not ours to judge.
