Jacob was a spark of light, joy and energy to all he encountered. Filled with a vibrant love for people and God he was always desiring to spend his time and energy maximizing both. He was a brother who loved his siblings deeply with a special affection for his little sisters. He displayed a constant flare for fun and silliness while being a young man of simple pleasures. Always ready to eat a snack, cook a good meal or go out with friends, Jacob was a man who loved to socialize with a large appetite for food and life. His loves include but are far from limited to family, friends, Florida, lake life, football, basketball, very colorful fashion, golf, Christian and beach music, grilling, trumpet band, choir and relaxing. Deepest in Jacob's heart was his fervent love of God, Jesus and Heaven. His faith was on constant display and he enthusiastically embraced Mass, prayer, evangelization and discernment on a daily basis. His greatest goal was to love God daily and share it with those closest to him. His longing for God and Heaven was frequent in his conversations and thoughts in his discernment over his future vocation along with his daily plan.
Jacob is survived by and will be deeply missed by his father and mother, Scott and Gina; brothers: Aidan and Luke; and sisters: Grace, Elise, Rose and Clare. Jacob was met in heaven by his biological mother, Kiley.
"Love you God. If you are all I have, I have all I need." – quote from Jacob's journal on May 11, 2025
