There are times in life that are too tragic for words and too hard to bear. Jacob was a wonderful man, he loved and was loved by many. He had dreams and goals. He was a big teddy bear; his piercing blue eyes and kindness showed his heart as soon as you met him. His love towards his friends and family was what made him unique in our friends' circle. He was always the first person to give a helping hand to anyone who was in need. He faced many trials and tribulations in his life. The bondage was too great to overcome. Jesus granted him grace. Jesus freed him to be home while he was the man of God we all saw him be. He was ready. It is sad but we see the sovereign hand of God everyday. We see God turned Jacob into Israel. 

We are asking for help in funding his expenses for a celebration of life. Funeral showing, cremation, etc. His loved ones have a horrifying task that nobody ever wants to do; funding a celebration of life. While the last thing on their mind should be how much, the costs must be addressed.

The funds raised here will go directly to pay for the celebration and medical expenses that were incurred while Jacob fought the biggest battle to save his life but instead, he was called home to Heaven.

Please consider donating if you are able to do so. Any left over contributions can be sent to The Gathering Church. We are grateful for every kind word, prayer, and hope for strength to make it through each day with Jacob in our hearts and not physically in our lives. Thank you, God bless you.
