Timothy "Jake" Jacobs

Timothy Jacobs, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully at his residence on October 25, 2025, surrounded by his loving family after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Born on September 26, 1958, in Covington, Kentucky, Tim was known for his fun-loving personality, great sense of humor, and ability to bring joy to those around him.

Tim dedicated 45 years of his life to a successful career as a Sales Manager for Wulco, Inc., where his passion for his work shone through every day. A proud graduate of St. Pius X Elementary (1964-1970), Covington Latin (1970-1974), and Thomas More University (1974-1978), Tim placed great value on his education and the lifelong friendships he formed along the way.

Throughout his life, Tim cherished many hobbies and interests, including golf, woodworking, hiking, fishing, and spending time outdoors at his farm he dubbed 'New Jacobstown'. However, nothing brought him more pride and joy than his family. His most significant accomplishments were woven around his love for his children and grandchildren.

Tim is survived by his devoted wife of 46 years, Sally Jacobs, their sons Craig (Chas), Brent (Liz), Scott (Alli), and Todd (Amy) Jacobs, along with his cherished grandchildren Madison, Carson Claire, Griffin, Olivia, Everly, Greyson, Henry, Amelia and Charlie. He is also fondly remembered by his brothers, Dr. Alfred "Chip" (Dori) Jacobs, Tom (Claudia) Jacobs, Mark (Julie) Jacobs, and Dr. Paul (Jennifer) Jacobs, as well as his sisters Jeanne (Charlie) Mershon and Chris (Tim) Dunlevy.

Tim was preceded in death by his parents, Dr. Alfred (4/18/1994) and Jeanne Jacobs (3/18/2018), who undoubtedly laid the foundation for the loving and supportive environment he created for his own family.

The visitation will be held on Thursday, October 30, 2025, from 4:00 PM until the hour of the Mass of Christian Burial at 6:00 PM, all at St. Barbara Roman Catholic Church, 4042 Turkeyfoot Road, Erlanger, KY 41018.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew him, and his joy, laughter, and dedication to family will forever remain in their hearts.
