Douglas "Doug" Allen Jacobs, Sr., 72, of Mansfield, passed away Friday, October 30, 2015 at Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus. Born October 28, 1943 in Hobbs, New Mexico, he was the son of Marty and Violet Jacobs.

Doug retired from Dalmatian Fire Inc. after a number of years of service. He really enjoyed fishing and making unexpected purchases from Ebay.  Playing computer games and watching sports brought enjoyment to him.  He especially liked The Ohio State Buckeyes, Pittsburgh Penguins, Cleveland Indians and Browns and NASCAR.  He was a member of the Richland County Fish and Game Club, Son's of Amvets and had been a member of the Moose Lodge. A joker at heart, he was a best friend to his loving wife, a great dad and the best grandpa anyone could have. He was always ready to help and a very forgiving person. His presence will be deeply missed by his family.
