I went to high school and college with Jacob, we shared a lot of laughs along the way. He knew how to light up a room like no other.
I´m grateful to have known him, and offer my deepest condolences, Karen and Ron.

I was Jacob's classmate for my first ever class at Ignatius. He always had an aura of enthusiasm and was happy to help others out when needed. I also was his brother's small group retreat leader. I am keeping the family in my prayers

I was a high school classmate of Jacob. Although we did not talk much, he seemed to light up those around him. My thoughts are with the family at this time.
