Jacob’s laugh was contagious. His kindness and laughter were magnetic. His zeal for life was apparent as he lit up any room he was in. He loved being surrounded by his family, friends and his dogs Sookie and Mila. He loved to travel and explore new places. He loved to dance and is dancing in the sky.
