Joshua was the most caring and loving young man IV ever known, he loved his family with the out most love and he loved all animals and his scrolls and the Bradfield Chappell area in his wheelchair, he always came back home with plenty of stories about his adventures with it seem like a half-dozen dogs be his side and it was like they were pertecting him and seeing him back home safe, l want to say thanks to all the community that showed Joshua any kinda love, God bless you all l love our Community and so did Joshua Lee Jacobs
Josh was my first friend outside of my immediate family after a long time without any in person. He took my thoughts and concerns seriously and always had something silly to say to make me laugh. We spent a lot of time together last year, and I’m so grateful I got to know this wonderful human being before he left. I’ll miss you Josh ♥️
We are going to miss you Josh. You was awesome young man.love you.we will see one another again.
One of the nicest young men I’ve known. I feel lucky to have called him friend. He had the kindest heart and the best personality. I saw him recently after he had gotten his new motorized chair. He loved all the different maneuvers that the chair provided for him but the best part to me was the chair going up and down. For the first time Joshua could be taller than me and it was just amazing to look him directly in the eyes instead of looking down on him in his wheelchair. He always had a good attitude and was a friend to everyone who knew him. Fly high Joshua! You were loved and you will be missed.
Joshua and I grew up together and graduated Daingerfield High School in 2016 together. I remember us being in the same Kindergarten class. We played together at recess when we were little kids. I have some distant memories of him liking to play dinosaurs and on the swings. He was always such a kind person. I remember him being able to walk and play like all the rest of us up until we were at South elementary. I have this memory of someone (really tall guy) who played basketball coming to the school and donating an electric wheelchair for him to move around in. I remember us all being so excited for him as this would help him SO much to be able to accessibly get from one place to another throughout the school much easier than his push-wheelchair. As we grew older, I believe it was either the senior prom or program, I remember he looked really nice and so happy to be there. ♥️ He was always so kind, gentle, and content.
I only have very fond memories of Joshua and I pray he is resting peacefully with the Lord in heaven where he can feel the most fulfilling comfort and happiness he deserves. He was a delight and I am so thankful to have known him. Rest easy, Joshua. ♥️ Prayers and much love to your family. ♥️
This is so sweet!
My prayers are with the Jacobs family.

From time to time I would see Joshua strolling down the road, talked to him and wished him a good day.
Thank you I’m his mom Jacqueline Jacobs, I’m pleased he was able to know you and I’m happy you thought he was nice, he was my soft kinded son.
Loved him with all my heart and I can’t believe they sent him to someone who was using him and she didn’t even have custody of her own son but she bought 659. Dollars worth of BBQ equipment in Pennsylvania and he was on a feeding tube, my poor baby boy.
I only remember Joshua as a young boy, I am his brother Kenny’s aunt. I know Joshua had a hard life to live but as I’ve been told, he was happy and loved making others happy. It is with a sad heart that the family lost such a beautiful young man but I know he is flying free with God and his family in heaven, especially Kenny and his grandma Sue ! Love, Susan Lucas
