Charles R. Jacobs
Charles R. JacobsJohn Deere ACharles R. Jacobs, 75, of Prospect, died Tuesday afternoon, November 10, 2020 at the Marion General Hospital after a short battle with Covid-19.

He was born June 25, 1945 in Kenton to the late Carl and Henrietta (Hedges) Jacobs, he was also preceded in death by siblings: Joann Tevis, Bob, Dick and Bill Jacobs

Chuck was a dedicated farmer, something he loved. He also was retired from the Whirlpool Corp. in Marion.

He is survived by his wife; Lucille (Bails) Jacobs, they were married October 3, 1964 in Monroe, Michigan. Also surviving are his girls: Tami Spayde of Marion, Lori (Kevin) Robinson of Prospect and Lisa (Rick) Hoback of Waldo
Siblings: Janet Dunn of Marysville, Jean (Richard) Plotner of Marion, Jim Jacobs of Marion, Rebecca Rynders of Abilene, Texas and Jerry (Linda) Jacobs of Garrettsville

His five grandchildren, of which he was very proud of: Chelsea-bug, Slim (Kyle), Pokey (Caitlynn), Junior (Easton), and Nellie (Janelle), he enjoyed spending time with all of them and imparting his “wealth of knowledge”.  Many hours were spent with them playing board games and pool in his sunroom.

One of the great joys of his life was giving motorcycle rides to anyone who would go - with the most memorable being when he took Olen Parish for a ride when he turned 100.

He brought so much fun and pleasure to those around him.  He never met a person he didn’t know and anyone tagging along with him knew to allow “extra” travel time because there was bound to be someone he met that he needed to socialize with.

He was such a bright spot on this earth, he was one of a kind - a person that put one at ease as soon as you stepped up next to him, made you feel better if you were sad, made you laugh if down in the dumps - a special kind of individual.

He was funny, caring, and kind, and had the most beautiful blue eyes.

His favorite days revolved around meals and he never missed one - Thursday lunch was for chicken and Saturday breakfasts with the boys at the Villa Hotel in Richwood.

The farming community and everyone who knew him will never be the same and those around him will always feel a void.  To those he loved he always left them with these parting words, “Keep Smiling”.

Private family graveside services in Prospect Cemetery will be livestreamed Tuesday November 17, 2020 at 11:00 AM; Pastor Joseph Rhea will officiate.

UPDATE: A memorial gathering will be held to honor Charles Jacobs on Saturday June 26 from 2 to 5 p.m. at Jacobs' Farm in Prospect. Bring your memories, stories, and antics to help us celebrate the man who made us all smile.

Memorial gifts may be made to the River Valley FFA, 4280 Marion-Mt Gilead Rd, Caledonia, OH 43314

I am so very sorry for your loss, he had THE BEST smile. A few months ago he stopped by to take me on a ride, he said you are finally home I have been three times to get you, I said well let’s get going then. It was such a nice relaxing ride. I sure am glad I was home.  He spoke about all of you and to say he was a proud father and grandfather is an understatement.  Thoughts and prayers are with you all!

Love 💕

I always tried to see Uncle Chuck and Aunt Lou when I was in Ohio. We had a few adventures on his motorcycle with the last one being where we got soaked to the skin. He had to pour the water out of his shoe. But even with that he made it fun. My trips to Ohio will never be the same. His family, friends, and his farm were everything to him. Hugs and love to all he left behind. Thanks Uncle Chuck for your ready smile and quick wit. I know you will always be with and watching over those you loved so completely. RIP Uncle Chuck.

My thoughts and prayers to the whole Jacobs family on the passing of Chuck.  Gary and Chuck went to school in Byhalia when he was younger so they always enjoyed catching up.  Chuck never failed to stop by the fair office and visit during the fair. Last year we would run into each other whether at the Palace for shows or eating out in Marion.  We just always said "what are you doing here"!  Always had a great talk with our shared relatives.  He will be missed.
