Jacob was a 2009 graduate of Cedar Valley School and attended the Corner Stone Family Church in Dawnville, Ga. He loved walking, working out, history and the Tennessee Vols. Jacob was one of the kindest and most gentle souls, he always had a smile on his face even though he has been through so much in his short 26 years of his life on this earth. He is spending his first thanksgiving with his mom and dad for the first time in 13 years. We love you Jacob more than words can express…this is not good bye but until we see each other again “my boy”.
