I was fortunate to have taught Jacob horse riding. The horse I own really seemed to like Jacob too. Jacob was so gentle and got along with my horses very well. Jacob was the most loving sole. He showed love any chance he got. He was also willing to help with any task necessary.! It was funny. He actually started telling me what to do. …i hope wherever you go Jacob! I hope you are happy. And I know you will show off your riding skills.
So sorry for your loss Nanci.

Darren, Nanci and Family,
I am saddened to hear of Jacob’s passing. I fondly recall his laughter and love for bocche and basketball. In the time I worked with him, he’d be outside at the crack of dawn in his crocs, tossing the ball. His smile lit up any room.
Thank you for sharing the beauty of your son and his presence with all of us.
I’m deeply sorry for your loss. I know words cannot stop your pain, but I hope you are comforted in knowing God cares about your loss and will reunite you.~ John 8:50-56 Luke 7:12-15
