Jacob was an amazing kid with a knack of knowing what his friends and family needed before they even asked.

Everyone loved to listen to his creative stories. He loved anything to do with hunting, wildlife, sports and being outside. He loved to spend time with his family and friends. He was a man of many names and would answer to Yabut, Square Pants and Peanut.
