Jacob Bobko Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Jacob was a sophomore at Bethlehem Catholic High School. He had a compassionate heart and was a kind, caring young man. During the warmer months Jacob could be found catching fish down by the creek or riding his bike endlessly around town. He had a knack for building things and his quick mind allowed him to easily solve any problem. Jacob loved Stars Wars, playing Xbox with his friends, weightlifting, building Lego sets, fishing, and spending time with his pets. On the weekends, Jacob would cheer on the Eagles and Penn State football teams whenever they played. He had a great sense of humor and a silly side to him that brought joy to those around him.
Growing up, Jacob participated in many sports through the Northampton Athletic Association, such as football, wrestling, and basketball. He was also a member of Assumption B.V.M. Roman Catholic Church in Northampton, where he assisted as an alter server and attended Sunday School. Throughout this time, Jacob touched the lives of many and developed friendships that lasted all through his years. He will be remembered affectionately and missed deeply.
Surviving along with his parents are his sister, Brianna L. Bobko, paternal grandparents Richard and Debra Stock of Coopersburg, PA, maternal grandparents Rowland and Sandra Wallitsch of New Tripoli, PA, as well as many caring aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Funeral Services will be held on Thursday, January 18, 2024 at Schisler Funeral Home, 2119 Washington Ave. Northampton, PA 18067. The family will receive friends from 4:00 PM up until the time of service at 5:30 PM. Interment will be private and at the convenience of the family.
Contributions may be made to Assumption B.V.M. Roman Catholic Church Memorial Fund care of the funeral home.
Online condolences may be offered to the family at www.schislerfuneralhomes.com.

It's been a number of years since I've seen Jacob but instantly remember how kind and respectful he was as a preschooler. He was one that you could count on to always be well behaved. I'm saddened to hear of his passing and offer my condolences to his parents and sister. Your family is in my prayers.

When we were younger me, Brianna Bobko, and my brother use to go outside and we use to scare my brother in the dark and it was one of the funniest nights ever.

I coached Jacob in football and baseball when he was younger. I will always remember how coachable Jacob was. He was a great athlete and I remember coaching him about setting the edge as a corner on the football team. We went over technique and come Saturday he executed it perfectly and he was like 7 or 8 years old. Always respectful and always a great teammate too.
Peace to Sam, Janet, Brianna, and the entire family.

Sam, words could never express how sorry I am that you and your family are going through such a tragic loss. I truly pray that everyone can find some kind of healing after this. Jacob sounds like such a great kid and you spoke so highly of him. He will always be a moment in your arms and forever in your heart. May God watch over you and all of your family during this time and the healing process.

I always remember seeing Jacob active at recess with my son Casey in elementary school. He was such a great kid and will always be remembered that way by his teachers and peers.

There are no words for understanding such a loss. My Grandson was a friend and classmate of Jacob during their Good Shepherd Catholic school days. I remember picking up the boys and their bikes one day. Gosh silly fun innocent boys. Jacob with his sweet kind smile being one of these boys.
Our family expresses deepest sympathies and pray for healing and comfort to come with time. Feeling selfish to say but we are just heartbroken.
Jacob your smile will shine down on all. Sweet Child Of God.

Sadly we did not know Jacob. Our son is a first year student at Becahi. We were terribly sad to hear of Jacob´s passing, so young and full of life..... Our thoughts and prayers are with Jacob and his family. God bless.
