Jacob Ratcliffe Obituary

Visit the Raymer-Kepner Funeral Home - Huntersville website to view the full obituary.
Jacob Colby Ratcliffe, 32, moved his residence from Mooresville to Heaven on November 20, 2022. Jacob's heart was the most giving we have known, and his time with us was much too short - we would have extended it to forever if we had been given a choice. He possessed a great sense of humor, and never said "No" to someone in need. His biggest desire in life was always to help others, even if he himself was the one that needed help the most.
Jacob is survived by his mother, Deborah Ratcliffe, his father Del Ratcliffe and wife Sandra Ratcliffe, his brother Jeremy Ratcliffe and his sisters Chasidy Armstrong (Calvin Armstrong) and Cessily Shannonhouse (Justin Shannonhouse). Jacob is also survived by his maternal grandparents John and Doney Revels, and many aunts, uncles and cousins that loved him very much.
Jacob attended Northside Christian Academy before launching into the business world. He enjoyed reading, writing and drawing. He will always be remembered for wanting to help others.
A funeral service will be held on Sunday, November 27, 2022, 3:00 P.M., at Raymer-Kepner Funeral Home of Huntersville.
Services will be livestreamed and can be viewed below or by clicking LIVESTREAM.

Jacob was a great guy and I am one of the fortunate ones that could call him friend. When people say God puts people in your life for a reason it's absolutely true I was homeless and hungry standing in front of the QT gas station and Jacob bought me food and invited me to his house so I could get cleaned up and take a shower. He has the biggest heart and is the most loyal friend anyone could ask for. Always willing to help and support you when you needed him. I love you bro you truly were an angel walking among us you will be deeply missed. Spread your wings and fly high my friend

Hard to believe he's gone. Didn't have many pictures of him but this was one of the last times we worked together. Goofing off while trying out a new kart at work. A fun day and a fun memory. I'll miss you buddy.
