Mr. Jacobs was a faithful member of Whitehill Free Will Baptist Church, where he devoted much of his time serving and participating in church functions. He loved NASCAR racing and enjoyed spending time with his family. He was a wonderful and devoted husband, father, and grandfather who deeply loved his only daughter and granddaughter.

The family would like to express special thanks to his caretakers, niece Wanda Jacobs, nephew Kenneth Jacobs, and the staff of Scotland Morrison Manor for the care and kindness shown to him.

His memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
