Jacob was born on June 15, 1999 in Hendersonville, Tennessee. He graduated from Station Camp High School in 2017. From an early age, Jacob was mechanically inclined and could fix anything. He loved diesel trucks, cars, motorcycles, four wheelers, tractors and anything that has an engine. Jacob was a sportsman who enjoyed all types of hunting and fishing.

Jacob wanted to be like his dad and followed in his footsteps eventually working for him as an electrical contractor. He loved his mom and his family with all of his heart and cherished every moment. He lived his life with the highest values and morals. Jacob was smart, funny and a loving young man whose smile lit up a room every time he walked in. As his little sister has said, Jacob was the biggest, strongest and bravest big brother ever. Jacob's loving presence will be dearly missed by all that knew him because when Jacob loved, he was all IN.

Jacob and his dad had a lot of connections that only the two of them understood and one of those was "just send it."

Visitation for family and friends will be held on Monday, March 2nd from 2:00 PM - 8:00 PM and on Tuesday from 12:00 PM until the time of the service.
