Jacob was a dedicated employee, having worked for C2 Technology since 2019, where his hard work and commitment were recognized recently with a promotion to Senior Technician. His dedication to his job and his coworkers was evident in everything he did.

Outside of work, Jacob was passionate about range shooting, law enforcement, working out, and trucks. He had a knack for lightening the mood with his humor and enjoyed joking around with his family and friends. His love for his mother was profound. Jacob had complete faith in God, and strong morals and values that were instilled in him from his mother and his family.

Jacob was a genuine, hardworking, determined, tech-savvy, car enthusiast, patriotic, God-loving man with down to earth values. He was a kind, gentle soul, full of life, and was loved by so many people. He was someone you could lean on if you were sad or needed a good laugh. He was always there for his family and friends. When you spent time with Jacob you knew it was going to be a great day. His memory will be cherished by his family, friends and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
