Jacob was granted his angel wings, following a lifelong illness. His final days were spent surrounded by family and friends that Jacob had touched in some small way throughout his short, yet very memorable life.

Jacob's life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by him understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. His gentle smile could melt the hearts of those around him and though he never spoke a word, his voice and thoughts could always be heard.

Although Jacob's illness made him appear frail, he possessed strength, perseverance, and an ability to overcome incredible odds and physical challenges. With his courage he led us to believe that each day is a blessing and an opportunity to create lasting memories. He could spend hours rocking in his favorite chair while cuddling close to those he loved so much. He enjoyed music, sleeping late, and reading stories.

Calling hours are to be held July 06, 2016, from 6-8 pm at Bagnell and Son's Funeral Home. There will be a memorial service July 7, 2016 at 11:00 am at Lee Hill Community Church . A collation will follow the service.
