He was in the construction industry for 19 years and held various positions, but loved and enjoyed operating heavy equipment the most. This was a passion he shared with his father. Jacob loved spending time with his wife, son and family, camping, fishing, hunting, sledding and sharing his love for the outdoors. During the winter months he especially loved a rousing game of cards, with a strong drive to be the champion.

In his final days Jacob expressed the desire to celebrate his life with love and fond memories. The family is hosting a hootenanny in his honor on Aug. 26, 2023, at 2 p.m. Please RSVP to Michelle or Janine Redding.
