Jakob Rahl Nadas Hegmann, a resident of Rock Tavern, passed away on December 9, 2023. He was 23 years old. Jakob was born on October 13, 2000 in Poughkeepsie, NY to George Hegmann and the late Ruth Gita Nadas. He was a caregiver in the healthcare industry.
Although his life was cut short, Jakob spent what little time he had on Earth bringing laughter and light to those around him. As a child he was the “class clown” in school, and throughout his life he always had a smile for everyone he met. He was generous with his time and would strike up a friendly conversation with anyone—whether in the checkout line or at the gas station, Jakob was always there to lend an ear. He was kind, giving, and always willing to help those in need.
Jakob was a man who knew his worth, and he always tried to lift the spirits of those around him. He was a loving partner, a caring grandson, and a loyal friend. Jakob always put others before himself and never complained about the hardships of life. He always had a smile on his face, and although he was dealt some difficult cards in life, he never let the negativity of the world get him down.
Jakob was a rock to many, and we are all going to try to honor his memory through kindness and compassion for others. He wanted to leave the world a little kinder than he found it, and hopefully, we can work together to maintain this legacy.
Jakob is survived by his partner Brielle; his grandparents Linda and Arthur; his father George; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
He was predeceased by his loving mother Ruth Gita Nadas.
A memorial service is scheduled for Sunday, December 17th at 2pm at David T Ferguson Funeral Home, 20 North Street, Washingtonville, NY 10992.
