Jacob was a diligent business owner and talented craftsman and carpenter by trade. He had an awesome sense of humor. He was also an incredibly gifted singer, artist, photographer, cook, and teacher of God’s Word. He truly loved the Lord and spent his days and nights and dreams in providing tangible help and prayer for others, service to his family, warring in the spiritual realm, preaching the gospel of Jesus, and worship of His Creator. He enjoyed spending time with his boys and wife in so many ways: fishing, camping, biking, hiking, swimming, building, drawing, fixing things, video games, movies, and so much more.
He will be truly missed here on Earth, but he is enjoying his eternal life with Jesus now.
The wise man scales the city of the mighty, and brings down the trusted stronghold.
Proverbs 21:22 NKJV
