In Loving Memory of Jacob Conner Casebolt

May 23, 2005 – August 5, 2025

With hearts heavy and full of love, we mourn the loss of Airman First Class Jacob Conner Casebolt, who passed away far too soon on August 5, 2025, following a tragic swimming accident.

Though his time with us was brief, Jacob's impact was deep, and his memory will live on forever in our hearts. At just 20 years old, Jacob was already living a life of service and purpose as a Network Operations Journeyman in the 130th Airlift Wing's Communications Squadron. He was passionate about Jesus, proud of his uniform, and filled with hope for the future.

Jacob was both a dreamer and a doer. He had big plans, endless ideas, and a heart that radiated kindness. He loved deeply and lived with intention.

He joins his Pawpaw Steve in heaven and leaves behind a family who will love and miss him always: his dad and stepmom, Joshua and Jennifer Casebolt; his mom and stepdad, Kelly and John Mason; his siblings Emma, Ayla, Leah, Ben, and Colton; his grandparents, Mamaw Gail Casebolt and Randy Burdette; Papap and Nana, Bill and Shirley Crawford; and countless aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and fellow service members. whose lives he impacted.

We invite you to celebrate Jacob's life on Sunday, August 10th at Maranatha Fellowship Church in Saint Albans, WV

at 5:00 PM. The family will receive friends from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, prior to the service at the church

Jacob will be laid to rest with military honors at Tyler Mountain Memory Gardens on Monday, August 11, 2025, at 11:00 AM.
