DeLEON, Jacob Jacob DeLeon died peacefully on August, 22, 2017. He was born on November 22, 1974 in Lubbock, Texas. He graduated from Pflugerville HS in 1993 and graduated from The University of Texas in December 1997 with a BA in government. He attended George Washington Law School in DC and received his law degree May 2002. Jacob was a great father to his son, spiritual, intelligent, confident, athletic , and had the ability to engage and forge a relationship with anyone. He was also an exceptional attorney and his love of people led him to represent those that others wouldn't. Jacob accomplished a lot in his short life but encountered difficulties and illness that he could not overcome. His love for God and his family and the love of his family was not enough to pull him through. We pray that the sorrow that we feel will lessen with time and be replaced with only good memories of his time on this earth. As Jacob would often say, "there it is!" He is survived by his son, Durban Jacob DeLeon; mother, Christine Harper and husband Jimmy; father, Samuel DeLeon; step-sister, Jill Harper; step-brother, Jess Harper and half-brothers, Anthony and Samuel DeLeon. Visitation will be from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m., Saturday, August 26, 2017 at Cook-Walden/Capital Parks Funeral Home. Funeral Service will be at 1:30 p.m., Sunday, August 27, 2017 at First United Methodist Church, 500 W. Pecan St., Pflugerville. Interment will follow services at Cook-Walden/Capital Parks Cemetery all in Pflugerville.

De Leon and Harper Families:
I wish you peace and comfort in this time of sorrow. Jacob lived life to the fullest and was a bright light. He was a very special person to me for a significant part of my life and will never be forgotten. Samuel and Anthony are too young to remember me, but Jacob loved those boys more than anything! I can only imagine the love he must have had for his young son. Jacob was ambitious and determined to change the world - and for many of us, he did. My heart and prayers are with you - Chris, Jimmy, Sam, Samuel, Anthony, Jess, Jill....

Leticia and I want extend our condolences to Jacob's family. We had hoped to attend the funeral but the storm caused too much flooding between the RGV and Pflugerville. Also, my mom is sorry she couldn't attend as well as she has been sick. God Bless You...

Jacob was a fun and intelligent law school classmate of mine. I am so sorry to hear of his passing, much too early in life. Many Blessings to his family.
