Jacob Woolery Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
CHARLOTTE – Jacob Todd Woolery, 22, went home to be with Jesus on August 15, 2024.
Jacob was born in Charlotte, NC, to Todd and Rebecca Woolery on February 7, 2002. Jacob graduated from Charlotte Christian School and attended Gardner Webb University and CPCC. During this time, he realized he loved working with his hands and was employed by Building Trust Plumbing company in Charlotte, NC. He was an avid outdoorsman and loved fishing, hunting, and riding dirt bikes. He loved playing video games and even created a game that he made free to the public that was downloaded by many. While in college, Jacob was also on a nationally ranked gaming team. He was a genius with technology, and was the family IT consultant, answering any possible questions on the subject.
Jacob's love for fishing started when he was young, and his favorite place to fish was the Florida Keys with his family and friends. He caught all kinds of fish, sharing his passion for fishing with others. He also loved obscure historical facts and could talk anyone's ear off about F1 racing, WWII tanks, politics, and anything related to trucks. He loved his truck (Big Red) mostly because it was his Papa's truck first, which made it even more special.
A service of love and remembrance will be held 2:00 PM, Wednesday, August 21, 2024, at New City Church Southpark with Pastor Chris Payne and Pastor Travis Janousek officiating. Jacob's family will receive friends between 12:30 – 1:30 PM, prior to the service. For those unable to attend, the service will be livestreamed at the following link: https://www.newcity.us/info/eventstream. In lieu of flowers, memorial tributes in Jacob's honor can be made to the Wounded Warrior Project: .
Jacob is survived by his loving parents, Todd and Rebecca Woolery; sister Hannah Woolery; grandparents Larry and Linda Jenkins and Marty and Judy Woolery; aunts and uncles Missy Clark, Adam and Jennifer Thomas, Chris and Danielle Jenkins, and Jordan and Suzanne Chapell; cousins Nathan Clark, Stephen Clark, Rachel Clark, Mary Cait Thomas, Anna Jenkins, Callum Jenkins, Wesley Jenkins, Aven Chapell, and Foster Chapell; and a host of dear family friends, including his girlfriend Alexa Sirois.
Jacob was, and continues to be, loved and cherished by all. He brought joy to everyone he met, whether through a comedic comment or a flash of his dimpled smile. He will be remembered for his love of family and friends, his joy of fishing and video games, and his big red truck. His last Sunday was spent with his family at church where a sermon of Jesus calming the storm was preached. This message impacted Jacob, and he knew his Savior and the depth of His great love for him. While our hearts are grieving, we take great comfort in knowing that Jacob is standing in the presence of his Savior and that we will one day see him again.
Arrangements are in the care of Kenneth W. Poe Funeral & Cremation Service, 1321 Berkeley Ave., Charlotte, NC 28204; (704) 641-7606. Online condolences may be shared at www.kennethpoeservices.com.

First off i can´t believe I´m writing this. The world lost something great when we lost Jacob.
Jacob, was a very special person! A true one of a kind guy. He was such a great son, great brother, great friend, and just a great soul! I´m not saying that cause he´s no longer with us, I said that even while he was here. I told everyone about him. He really was a one of a kind guy. His laugh. His personality, and his love for life, will be so missed.
Beyond the fact that he was Todd, and Rebecca´s son. His parents should be so proud of the man he became. He was raised as the ideal person. Very kind, honest, respectful, loving, loyal, and a true gentleman.
Jacob could demand the attention of the room, by doing nothing more than just his presence. He was such a well rounded person that honesty made every encounter you had with him better than before.
I was his hairstylist, and I cut his hair for years. I hate to say it, but when you have as large of a guest (clientele) group as i did. Some times it´s easy to get lost in the numbers. But not Jacob! Not his family! He had such an infectious personality, easy going demeanor. Over the years. We would talk about a lot. But one thing that was always consistent, was conversations about his family. Man, he loved his family.
One thing i can say, is he absolutely loved his sister Hannah. I was always amazed as to their closeness in their relationship. I always wish i had that with my sister. He loved her so much!
There are so many things you can learn from Jacob. He had such a big heart! I know in times, when some one passes, you always come up with the nice things to say about someone. But with Jacob it was his every day.
I was truly the blessed one with him allowing me to be his hair stylist. Truly blessed to have had Jacob cross my life´s path. It truly is a better life with having him been a part of it.
I´m heart broken that I´m having to write this about him, but if i could tell him one last thing. I would say thank you! Not many people are lucky enough to experience the life and presence of someone so real.
Love you Jacob!
