Jacob Nelson Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Jacob was the beloved son of Patti Nelson and grandson of Ann Shay. He was a devoted husband to Bayley Nelson and the proud father figure and provider for Anderson Nelson, whom he cherished above all.
Bowling was more than a hobby for Jacob-it was his passion. He approached every game with heart, enthusiasm, and a love for competition that brought him close to many. He was also a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan, cheering on his team with unwavering loyalty and pride every season.
Jacob's laughter, loyalty, and generous spirit made him a constant source of support and joy to those around him. His presence will be deeply missed, but his memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
