Our beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, husband, uncle, and friend, Calvin K. Jacob, 83, passed away April 27, 2003, at the home of his son.
Cal was born October 21, 1919, the sixth of seven children born to Isaac and Thea Jacob in Provo, Utah.
He grew up on "Temple Hill", which is now part of the BYU campus, but was in the outskirts of Provo at the time.
His father, Isaac Jacob, was one of the first large-scale sheep ranchers in Utah. Cal grew up in a family where respect and love were taught by precept and example. He learned responsibility and hard work at an early age, and a deep and abiding faith in his Heavenly Father. He received the Eagle rank at the age of 13 with 17 other young men in the Provo Manavu Ward, and has since helped scores of young men to achieve the Eagle rank and to go on missions.
He worked in the sheep business with his father, and continued in the ranching profession throughout his life.
At the age of 21
he served in the East Central States Mission as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Following his mission he met his sweetheart, Ramona Monson, of Pleasant Grove, Utah, and they were married in the Salt Lake Temple on January 28, 1944. Together they devoted their lives to raising their family. He was a dedicated Scout leader for many years, a member of several bishoprics, and a member of the high council.
He has been true to the faith and stalwart in all of his church assignments. He was always generous, kind, thoughtful, and loving. He was active in temple and genealogy work all of his life.
His eternal companion, Ramona, passed away on April 18, 1987.
Following Ramona's death, Cal married Ramona's identical twin sister, Winona, a widow of Warren Kirk.
Cal is survived by Winona, two of his sisters and a brother: Gladys Burdette, Venice Fugal, and Norton Jacob; and five of his six children: James C. Jacob, Susan Andersen, Margaret Stoddard, Mary Wilder, and Mark Jacob. A son, Richard, passed away in infancy.
Cal has left behind a legacy of six children, 41 grandchildren, and 49 great-grandchildren who will always remember his love and devotion. He is now reunited with Mom and many other loved ones who have gone on before him. We hope to live worthy to be with him throughout eternity.
