Carroll Lee “Lee” Jacobs, 74, of Springfield, passed away on Wednesday, November 5, 2025. Lee was born on June 6, 1951, to John and Elsie (Budd) Jacobs. He is survived by many cousins. The family would like to thank Trustwell Living Center and Transitions Care for their care for Lee.
He was a longtime member of Together Church on North Grand in Springfield. Lee’s generosity and love for his church family were truly unsurpassed. As his condition progressed, he graciously allowed his home to be used as the church’s very first “mission house”.
Through Lee’s generosity, several men were given a place to stay while they worked to get back on their feet and strengthen their walk with Jesus. For the past six years, Dale and JoAnn have lovingly cared for Lee as he patiently waited for his call to go home.
