Jacob Xavier Roberts is a beloved son, brother, grandson, and nephew.  He is a believer in Jesus Christ and was led to spread the Good News in his travels.

In his passing, he leaves behind his parents, Gregory Roberts and Kimberly Roberts, and his sister, Cassidy Roberts. Jacob is also survived by his grandmother Katherine Gurley, his grandfather Raymond Roberts, his uncle and aunt Ray Roberts and Kathryn Roberts, uncle and aunt Rich Drapeau and Sandra Drapeau, his great aunts Karen Martin, Rhonda Patterson, and Belinda Gurley, and many cousins.

Jacob was a lover of reading, animals, and nature.  He was an avid baseball and football fan. He also enjoyed studying history and appreciated a wide variety of music.  He had the gift of making connections in many different circles.  Jacob enjoyed his family and close friends immensely. He was a fierce and loyal friend and would often speak of their accomplishments with joy.

Jacob wrote a mantra in Greek which all could see but few could decipher. It read:

Justice before revenge, Mercy before hatred, Loyalty before betrayal, Family above all else.

Jacob possessed a steadfast heart, a keen and creative mind, and a prankster spirit. To those who knew him, he will be greatly missed. If you didn't know him, you missed out.
