Jacob Workman Obituary

March 19, 2017 Jacob Workman of Sacramento, CA passed away March 19, 2017 at the age of 81. Jake was born June 17, 1935 in Chicago, IL preceded by father Jacob Workman, mother Mildred Talbot and son Jacob Workman III. He is survived by his wife of 42 years Candy Workman, daughters Sien (Missy) Workman, Hope Ithurburn (John), Faith Workman Gardner, Charity Dawson (Lee), and son Micah Workman (Stephanie), 19 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. Jake served in the Navy, worked at United Parcel Service (UPS) for 30 years and then became an elected Teamsters Local 150 Business Agent for 12 years. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather and enjoyed playing his guitar, music, reading books, metal detecting, and being an advocate for employee labor rights. One of his biggest achievements with the Lord's help was celebrating over 42 years of sobriety. His Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, March 25 at 11am at Warehouse Christian Ministries in Sacramento at 9933 Business Park Drive. A reception will follow after the service.

There aren't too many people I let call me "Kimmy", but it meant so much when Jake would. You are in our hearts, Candy and family. He touched my life.
