Jacob Steele was a morally upstanding person who met the highest expectations he placed on himself. He was a winner who made the world better by mentoring younger Boy Scouts and positively impacted their lives. These blessings impacting many will live forever, as will the memory of those others who were graced by Jacob's presence in their lives. Jacob will be missed!

Jacob was a kind friend. He was helpful. He was active in the SA at the College that we attended together. Its hard to imagine college without him there to brighten things up. He will be greatly missed by everyone that called him friend and classmate.
