Jacob was born in Brookhaven, MS July 6, 2002, to Jason and Heather Smith. He was a kindhearted person that only saw the good in others. He was generous to a fault and sensitive to the needs of his friends and family. Jacob had a special bond with his mom and sister and was a great help working with his dad, he was a very skilled dozer operator. Jacob had two very special friends, Blaire and Pudding, his poodles, and he enjoyed spending time with them as well as going hunting and fishing with his brothers and dad. He was a car enthusiast and a member of the Car Club. Jacob was called out of this life and into eternity on February 24, 2024, much too soon. He will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered by all those who loved him.

Jacob is preceded in death by his grandparents, Mickey Thornton, and Linda & Cameron Smith; great grandparents, Millard & Winnie Smith, and Thelma & Russel Smith; aunt, Karis Thornton; and cousin, Brooks Smith.

Those who remain to honor and cherish his memory are his parents; brothers, Jonah Smith and Jackson Smith; and sister, Anna Katelyn Smith; grandparents, Donna & DeeDee Smith; aunts and uncles, Dienna & Pete Moak, Meagan Turpin, Kim & Wayne Mitchell, Mark Smith; great aunt, Connie Beavers; and cousins, Will, Maley, Morgan, and Walker Moak, McKenzi Dyess, Anderson Turpin, Marshall Davis, Grant Abbey, Samantha Nino, and Cole Smith.
