Jacob-Matthew was born May 25, 1991, in Brownwood. Throughout his high school years and following his high school graduation, Jacob spent much of his time in the rodeo arena as a calf roper and also a bullfighter (rodeo clown). Our little Rebel Man, Jacob, enjoyed life and lived it as if tomorrow wasn't there. He loved his family more than words could say, and would have done anything for his friends. He had a smile that would light up a room!
