Norman Howard Jaekle

He lived a wonderful life full of adventure, humor, public service, and unconditional love. We were blessed to learn many valuable lessens from Grandpa during his 94 years. After serving as a medic in WWII, he moved west and met the love of his life, Ann Harriet (Blankenship) Jaekle. He worked and became in charge of the largest chicken ranch in California. He retired from civil service with honors at the Lemoore Naval Air Base. He then helped build Glad Tidings Church from the ground up and maintained the building and grounds for years thereafter. His dedication and relentless work ethic are an inspiration. Norm’s ability to be kind and give unconditional love in the hardest of times was unprecedented. A man of many talents who loved to laugh and be humorous. He went above and beyond for his family and friends.

His legacy lives on with his grandchildren, Anna Sanderson and Jonas Howard Low, great-grandchildren, Alysann, Chasity, Lotus, Cocora, Sage, David, and Bowen, and great-niece, Beverly Olivera.
