Jacob loved drawing, painting, being with his family and friends. He was a joy to have in life. He loved cheerleading in high school and had the best flips (tumbling tricks) in the world. He was very smart and excelled at anything he put his mind to. Jacob was the life of the party and could make you laugh when you did not want to.
