Jacob Michael Wasserman

Jacob Michael Wasserman, 18, passed away on November 12, 2025. He was born on January 22, 2007, in El Centro, California, and lived most of his life in Orange County, California. He last resided in Coppell, Texas, where he was deeply loved by family and friends.

Jacob is survived by his father, Scot; his mother, Rosanna; his sister, Kathleen; his brother, Brody; his grandfather, Michael; his grandmothers, Carol and Edita; and many extended family members who cherished him. He is preceded in death by his grandfather, Rosalio, whom he held close in memory.

A 2024 graduate of Coppell High School, Jacob was known for his athletic talent, earning numerous medals in high-school sprint competitions. He had recently begun a new chapter, working as an assistant manager at Taco Bell. On his final day of work, he proudly closed the store for the first time—an accomplishment he was genuinely excited about.

Jacob had a deep love for basketball and a passion for self-improvement. He enjoyed movies, art, and music, and brought a creative, thoughtful spirit to everything he did. Laid-back and level-headed, Jacob was a caring, polite, and considerate young man who always showed up for the people he loved.

He had a gift for making others smile and laugh, and his loyalty ran deep. Jacob encouraged his friends to believe in themselves and grow into the best versions of who they could be. His presence made life brighter for everyone who knew him.

Jacob’s life, though far too short, was filled with love, laughter, and quiet strength. He will be forever missed and forever remembered.
