Thomas Matthew Jacoby- Magill

Born in Cary on September 15, 1999, he was the son of Matthew and Karen Jacoby.

Thomas graduated from Athens Drive High School in Raleigh in 2017. He went on to pursue his passion for emergency medical services, working first for Priority Care and later for Cary EMS. As an EMT, Thomas was known for his compassionate heart and deep commitment to helping others in their most vulnerable moments. Most recently, he worked as a Behavioral Technician at the Hands Center for Autism in Holly Springs, where his natural ability to connect with children—especially those with special needs—shone brightly. His calm, patient presence made him a trusted and beloved part of the children’s lives.

On February 22, 2022, Thomas married Jordan Jacoby-Magill, who survives him.

In addition to his husband, Thomas is survived by his parents, Matthew and Karen Jacoby of Fuquay-Varina; his brother, Kevin Jacoby of Fuquay-Varina; and his grandparents, Linda Jacoby of Clayton and the late Milton Jacoby.

He is also lovingly remembered by his aunts and uncles: Melissa Jacoby and (Pam Ciminera), Scot and (Chris) Jacoby, Sharon and (Al) Fallon, Cindy and (Len)Avery, (Bob Cappellini), Jennifer Adams, and Tanya and Jim Spiers, as well as many beloved cousins.

He was predeceased by his grandparents, Inge and Henry VanAckooy and Nancy Jacoby.

Thomas is also survived by his cherished dogs, Nellie, Willow, and Maggie, who brought him constant comfort, joy, and unconditional love.
