Kevin Leon Jacobs
April 7, 1979 – October 29, 2025
Kevin Leon Jacobs, age 46, passed away on October 29, 2025 peacefully with his family by his side. We were forced to say goodbye as his heart and body could no longer contain his spirit.
Kevin was born in Oceanside, California, on April 7, 1979. In 1990, he and his family made Lake Havasu City their home, where Kevin spent his formative years enjoying the outdoors–boating, fishing, camping at Lake Havasu and Lake Powell, and especially water skiing, which he loved. As he grew, Kevin became a well-known and beloved member of the community. He graduated from Lake Havasu High School, where he excelled in football and formed lifelong friendships. Kevin continued to live and work in Lake Havasu, often found enjoying time with loved ones at the lake or socializing around town, always embracing life with warmth and laughter.
Kevin lived his life with an independent zest that touched everyone around him. He was a fun-loving soul who knew how to find joy in the simplest moments. Kevin was always genuinely happy to run into old friends and family wherever he landed on any given day, and his warm smile and charm made every encounter feel like a reunion.
Kevin found joy in the natural beauty of Lake Havasu, especially the breathtaking sunsets that lit up the sky. He treasured time on the water, surrounded by family and friends, basking in the sunshine, and laughter. Those moments were his sanctuary. He also discovered a deep affection for the island of Kauai, which captured his heart during his visits.
Kevin is survived by his father Ed Jacobs, stepmother Grace Jacobs, mother Rhonda Morin, stepfather Dennis Proffitt, his siblings Brandy and Stacy Arena, Kyle Jacobs, Keith and Rainee Crabtree, Mike and Michelle Proffitt, Danny and Jane Proffitt, and many wonderful aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. Kevin was the epitome of a fun uncle as he remained a child at heart. He was preceded in death by his sisters Megan Proffitt and Melissa Proffitt. His spirit lives on through those who loved him, the fun filled memories he created, and the many lives he touched.
