Robert Jacobs Obituary
November 8, 1966 - December 26, 2022
Robert Frank Jacobs was born on November 8, 1966. He was a premature baby and spent his first six weeks in an incubator at Peninsula Hospital in Burlingame. He passed away on December 26, 2022, from several strokes.
Rob was a devoted son, brother and uncle with much love in his heart. He was generous to a fault often planting twenty or fifty-dollar bills on homeless people and telling them to, "Live long and prosper." His restaurant tips undoubtedly made many servers tremendously happy.
Rob loved animals and besides his two beloved dogs, Ingrid and Tara, he raised a slew of hamsters and guinea pigs. In school Rob received several merit based scholarships and became fluent in Spanish. Rob earned a Bachelor's degree from California State University at Hayward.
Rob is survived by parents Milton and Myrna (deceased), brother Michael Jacobs (Fhani) and their daughters Yasmin and Maya Jacobs, and brother Steven Jacobs (Cheryl) and their son Daniel.
Donations in his memory to the Valley Humane Society, 3670 Nevada St., Pleasanton, CA 94566. May Rob's name and memory be a blessing and a comfort to all.

My Uncle was a very kind person with a great sense of humor. I will always cherish the time that I got to spend with him when I was a kid, It's weird to think that hes gone now but I know that hes in a better place. To my uncle, I love you and I will miss you but I know I'll see you again.
