Jacob's recent tragic death has left a huge void in the band and within his loving family. When Jacob first came to live at a residential community near South Molton he wasted no time joining the ranks of the Honeytones. With his gravelly voice, passionate delivery, and his quiet, gentle and loving disposition, his contribution to the band has been immense.

Jacob had no prejudice, he didn't pre-judge, he always forgave and said sorry even if it wasn't his fault. He was always polite, courteous, helpful; never rude, hurtful, or judgemental. By his unassuming example he taught us how to treat our fellow men and women. It was inspirational to witness the love that passed between Jacob and his beloved parents. Our hearts go out to Norman and Diana for the awful loss of their wonderful son.
