Jacob Barton Obituary

Jacob Kenneth Barton SCHUYLERVILE - Jacob Kenneth Barton was the first born child to Brian and Lisa Barton on February 10, 1997. Jacob was welcomed into eternal life by God’s loving arms on May 31, 2016. As a young child, Jacob loved exploring, reading, camping, and collecting things like rocks, Pez dispensers, and unique hats. Jacob loved spending time with his cousins, especially Ryan and Tyler, with whom he spent every summer wearing capes and making memories. As he grew older, he loved the sport of lacrosse and was a goalie since second grade. He also loved traveling, riding his 4-wheeler, and swimming. Jacob spent countless hours entertaining his family with his talented diving skills and tricks. Jacob had a love of learning and was innately curious. Above all, Jacob’s happiest times were spent with his Dad, Mom, sisters, brother, and relatives. Jacob will be greatly missed for the way he cared strongly, loved deeply, his hugs, and for his confidence and individuality including wearing his footsie pajamas until he was 19. He was the kind of young man that anyone would be proud to call son, brother, grandson, nephew, and friend. Jacob is survived by his loving parents, Brian and Lisa; his siblings Claire, Eliza, and Charles; great-grandmother, Carolyn Barton of Ancramdale, NY; paternal grandfather, Kenneth Barton of San Antonio, Florida, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. With Jacob’s passing we remind others that his life is one to be celebrated and life is to be LIVED each day. Although we will miss him every day, especially his love and smile, he will forever remain in our hearts. Calling hours will be held on Sunday, June 5, 2016, from 3-6 pm at Flynn Brothers Inc. Funeral Home, 13 Gates Avenue, Schuylerville, New York, 12871. There will be a Mass of a Christian Burial at Notre Dame-Visitation Church in Schuylerville at 9:00 am Monday, June 6, 2016 with the Rev. Martin Fisher officiating. Burial will follow at Prospect Hill Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you make donations to the Peter G. Young Foundation, 40 Eagle Street, Albany, NY 12207. Online condolences and messages to the family may be made at www.flynnbrosinc.com

I still think of this young man with such fondness. I was blessed to be his 2 nd grade teacher at St. Clements School and he always had a smile on his face. It was a joy to teach Jacob and I have no doubt that he is dancing with Gods Angels in Heaven. This world is a lesser place without you, but Heaven rejoices.

Dearest Lisa and Brian,
It was with great sadness that I heard today about your dear Jacob. I was away with a new grandchild in Toronto, otherwise I would have surely been at his wake. Please forgive me. He was always one of my very favorite students at St. Clements and I truly remember him as such a sweet, caring young man and so good to his little sisters. May God be with all of you during this time of sadness and deep grief and may you know that Jacob's name and your family's will be on the Prayer Board in my 4th grade classroom at St. Clements. God bless and keep you and know that I wish for you peace, strength, and solace in those memories you hold most dear. Earth has lost a dear soul but Heaven is jumping for joy. Love, Becky Stauffer becky

Jake,

You will forever remain in my memory with your giant smile, giant laugh... Running in the yard, twisting and diving into the pool on boogie boards, riding your 4wheeler in the sand pit... Catching frogs and snakes.... You are the beautiful, thin, blue eyed happy go lucky boy you always were... Forever....

We will miss you always.... And think of you often. Thank you for making my children laugh, bringing joy into their young lives and hearts.....

Forever,
Andrea VanKeuren

Jake; You were one of the many "children" I had in my house for a couple of crazy years. We always enjoyed having you with us; you were so kind, generous and funny. We miss you terribly. God speed, my friend.
