Jacob was a well-rounded young man, who taught himself to play the piano, and speak Spanish, but who also enjoyed fishing and being outdoors. He was intelligent beyond his years, and could fix anything to do with technology, and even knew how to write program code. Jacob was small for his age, but he never let that stop him; he was “tiny, but mighty.” He was a 6th grade honor student at Elder Middle School, where he was involved in the Drama Club, and was preparing to play soccer during his 7th grade year. Jacob also enjoyed gaming, and his favorite foods were cheese pizza and mac and cheese. Jacob was very loving and kindhearted. He is preceded in death by his MiMi, Pamela Wiggins.

Jacob is survived by his mother, Summer Wiggins; sisters, Jemma and Josie Reker; Pa, Rick Wiggins; father, Justin Lindsey; stepfather, Jacob Reker; grandmother, April Lindsey; and many other family and friends.

The family would like to express their appreciation for the unprecedented outpouring of love and support from the community.
