Jacob loved people and was very close to his entire family. He had a special soft spot and bond with both of his parents, especially his mother and considered his dad one of his best friends.

He was an avid fisherman and had lots of favorite fishing spots. He loved to cook and enjoyed fine cuisine. He loved to travel and made any outing an adventure. Jacob had an electric personality and lit up the room with fun and entertaining conversation. He was kind and caring to all, a natural story teller and a jack of all trades. He loved music and people. He was a member of Laborers’ Local Union #530 Pipeline and he worked on several pipelines.
