Help Us Honor the Life of Jacob Lee Brodigan
With broken hearts, we share the devastating loss of Jacob Lee Brodigan, who passed away unexpectedly on Mother's Day, May 11, 2025, at just 26 years old. Born on September 25, 1998, Jacob was a beloved fiancé, son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend to many. He was a gentle soul with a deep love for others, and his presence left a lasting imprint on every heart he touched.
Jacob loved Alaska and called its beautiful wilderness home. He also spent much of his time in Idaho, and his life was beautifully woven into the fabric of both places. His sense of humor, compassion, and quiet strength made him someone everyone could count on. He gave love freely, listened deeply, and lived with a sincerity that is rare in this world.
To honor Jacob’s life, we are planning two Celebration of Life gatherings:
1. Alaska Gathering
Date: June 1st, 2025
Time: 2:00 PM
Location: Old Paths Baptist Church, Glennallen, Alaska
2. Idaho Gathering
Date: June 8th
Time: 5 pm
Location: Calvary Chapel, Emmett, Idaho
These gatherings will bring together the many people Jacob touched along his path.
We are asking for donations to help make these memorials possible. Contributions will go directly toward:
Round-trip airfare from Boise, ID to Anchorage, AK for family members
Lodging and meals during travel
Celebration of Life expenses, including food, flowers, and obituary pamphlets
Other unforeseen family expenses
We are doing everything we can to plan these heartfelt tributes, but the financial burden is more than we can manage alone. Any amount you can give will help us honor Jacob’s life in the way he deserves.
Please consider giving in his memory. Let’s come together to celebrate his life—just as he lived it—full of love, connection, and faith in God.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for helping us carry Jacob’s memory forward.
With love and gratitude,
The Family of Jacob Lee Brodigan
