Saturday the 16th of December was one of the hardest days of our lives. My wife Tammy and I buried our 18 year old Son, Jacob Wesley. He will certainly be missed. His smile, his humor, love for children, his ability to put you on the spot, and most of all his heart of gold. He had an amazing ability in which he could have you angry one minute and laughing the next.
He loved to ride motorcycles, 4-wheelers, horses and would do just about anything if there was a little danger involved. He also loved to cook believe it or not.
As many of you know, Jacob was not our biological child. My wife’s sister (Melinda) was tragically killed in February of 1990 almost 17 years ago. She was 24 years old. Jacob was 2 years old at the time and we immediately took him as one of our own boys. We had 4 boys for several years. From the oldest to the youngest. Jimmy, Daniel, Joshua and Jacob. Derek would come along several years later in February of 2000. Making Jacob a big brother for the first time.
It is so hard to believe he’s gone, so it is with a heavy weeping heart that I write these words. For now he lies beside his first Mother, but I’m looking forward to the day when we shall see them again.
So for now I say……. Goodnight Son, I love you!
Dad
