If you would like to share a memory of Jacob please fill out the form below.

Jacob was my boyfriend, best friend, and soulmate. It’s been a year and 7 months since we lost him, and it’s still hard knowing I can’t see his smile or hear his infectious laugh in person.
Some of my favorite memories are our trip to the beach, camping at Bonnaroo music festival, the countless concerts and comedy shows we went to, and our Sunday walks/hikes.
Jacob connected with every person he encountered because he was a thoughtful old soul. He was always thinking of others and at times put them before himself. He was hilariously goofy and loved to make others laugh. The only time I didn’t think he was funny was when he would tell the grocery store cashiers that I’m stealing (still made me laugh). He’s greatly missed everyday. I hope his memory continues to live on through his many loved ones and strangers that find this website, his memorial bench, and bookcase.
Love, TM

Jacob was truly one of a kind. He will be dearly missed. He had a beautiful mind and a thoughtful soul. He was so astoundingly himself it was truly an inspiration. Incredibly intelligent, and always had the best book recommendations. He gave me so many I don’t think I could ever read them all, but he surely did, probably twice. His sense of style was arguably the best around. He was the type of guy who would lounge around in a suit, and feel totally comfortable. His apartment resembled a prestigious gothic library, filled with the books he had read and would probably read again. I never knew anyone who could reference ancient philosophers like him, just so casually in conversation. He was a bit of a modern philosopher himself. His writings were one of a kind, much like everything else about him. His record collection could put a vintage music shop to shame. He never cared what anyone thought, and made all of us that he knew laugh so easily. I wish we had more time together, but I’m blessed to say that he was one of the first friends I ever had. My deepest condolences to the family and to everyone else who was lucky enough to know him.

Jacob was my best friend while we lived at the apartments together. He was right downstairs from me. From staying in and drinking our favorite wine, to going for a drive and listening to music, or going to the store to pickup our favorite sweet treats, are all memories i will never forget. He was truly an amazing person. He always knew how to make me feel better, and put a smile on my face when i was down. I love you dude, may you Rest in Peace.

We met Jacob in elementary school where he let my son Sean borrow a glove to tryout for baseball for the first time ever. He gave our family the little league bug. I remember Jacob saying he wanted to have soup at lunch like Sean, so we bought him a matching Campbell’s soup thermos. He was such a shining light and liked by so many. I wish he could know how much his soul will be missed.

Jacob meant the absolute world to me. He was the most genuine person. He made everyone around him feel so loved and included. Words can’t express how much I’ll miss him. Thinking back to all of our memories.. coming home to him having breakfast with my dad, Gatlinburg trips, showing me Natchez Trace for the first time, the endless hikes, the cinco dinners, the book recommendations, the random pop ins just to say hey, when he would tell me how horrible my music taste was, and attempt to show me new stuff.. Jacob and I were complete opposites in some ways, but in others it felt like we were the same. He was the first person I’d call if I needed to just talk.. about anything and everything. Jacob was so incredibly loved and will be dearly missed. A piece of everyone feels missing without him. He truly was one of a kind and had the purest heart.

Jacob and I started at the post office right around the same time. He helped me learn the ropes and we quickly learned we shared similar taste in music and the love for traditional tattoo culture. He will be missed around here for sure.

I am heartbroken to see this. Jacob wrestled with my son in MS and HS.. they were always on different teams but there were friends. He was always kind and polite. And then we reconnected when he would deliver mail to our office....I will pray for his soul and the family He will be missed...

I didn't get to know Jacob personally but he's one of the most charismatic souls i've ever met. When I came to work at Glenview, meeting him was so sweet, i'm 24 and having someone your age to work with makes things a little easier. He wouldn't mind my millions of questions and he was always kind. We talked about music and the weather, he'd always have a good joke up his sleeve which would be perfect during the bad days, but i'll never forget the best advice he ever gave me. Everything in life takes time. I pray that you all find healing and that you know to lean on us when you need anything.
