Jacob Chambers Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Dunkum Funeral Home Inc on Jan. 29, 2026.
Jacob Thomas Chambers, 42, was born to Thomas Chambers and Peggy Weller on November 22, 1983, in Baltimore, Maryland. He died unexpectedly, January 13, 2026, surrounded by his loving family. He is preceded in death by his grandparents Paul and Judy Daniel and Donald and Joyce Noel Crabson, Carmen Weller and Earl Bracey SR, Uncle Robert (Bobby) Chambers, Aunt Linda Thursby, Sister Summer Haas, and cousins Donald Chambers Jr., David and Anthony Leto, and Andrew Grondin.

Jacob resided in Buckingham, Virginia where he lived off and on since he was 14 years old. Before he graduated from Buckingham County High School in 2002, he pursued his dream of joining the Army Reserves just before senior year. He then pursued a career in the Industrial Electrical field working as an Electrical maintenance technician and then onto Electrical maintenance director.

Jacob took pride in his work, and his family, marrying his high school sweetheart, Jamie, at 22 where they lived in Virginia Beach for 6 years. Although being divorced at 30, he had a son, Jaxon, and remarried Jamie in 2021. He loved being surrounded by family as well as listening and playing music, long conversations with anyone who would talk with him, and enjoyed the outdoors every chance he could with Jaxon riding four-wheelers, fishing, taking walks with the dogs, and watching him play soccer, football, and basketball. Jacob had a passion for music, the drums, since he was 8 years old, playing with his brother, Brandon, and others throughout the years.

He was always the life of the party and knew how to show everyone a good time with his witty jokes, a goofy sense of humor, and infectious laughter. He always had the biggest smile that made his big blue eyes sparkle, and the goofiest faces, and he gave the biggest greatest hugs and snuggles. He was a great husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend to so many that loved him. Jacob, you will forever be loved and missed by so many.

He is survived by His wife Jamie Chambers and Son Jaxon Chambers.

Parents Peggy and Bruce Weller, Tommy Chambers and Mary Ann Howard, Earl (Sam) and Debbie Bracey. Grandmother Esther Bracey, Brothers Brandon Chambers (Quintin and Logan), Thomas R (Tommy) Chambers (Shawn), Jeremy Bracey (Fawn)(Nathan, Chelsea, and Elliott). Sisters Chelsea Wilder, Stephanie Howard, Jessica Weller (Brian)(Elijah, Nevaeh, Caden, and Isiah), Jean-Marie Witt (Hallie, Brandon, Ethan), Jessica Nardine (Kenny)(Nathan and Abby), Teresa Cyr (Jerry and Jade), and JR and Joann Rowe (Keith and Austin). As well as so many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
