Jacob Andres Mejia's Obituary
RACINE – Jacob Andres Mejia, age 22, passed away unexpectedly on May 14, 2016.
Jacob was born in Racine, WI on May 29, 1993 to Pablo and Tanya (nee Kottal) Mejia.
Jacob had an infectious smile and was able to make others smile too. He was very outgoing. He enjoyed riding motorcycles and anything outdoors, especially camping and fishing. Jacob aspired to fly and did so one time. Even though Jacob loved excitement and lived fast, he will be remembered as a calm, warm and loving person who adored taking care of his baby sister and nephew. He also had a wonderful relationship with his grandfather who he missed very much.
Left to cherish Jacob’s memory are his parents: Pablo and Tanya; sisters: Alyssa and Amelianna Mejia; brother, John Paul Mejia; nephew, Bronx Harrison; maternal grandmother, Janet Van Brunt; paternal grandparents, Raul and Amalia Mejia, and many loving aunts and uncles; cousins and friends. Jacob was preceded in death by his grandfather, Ron Kottal; maternal great grandparents; Patrick and Mavis Brook; and cousin, Jeremiah Brook.
A celebration of Jacob’s life will be held at the Wilson Funeral Home on Thursday evening, May 19, 2016, at 6:45 pm. Family and friends are invited to meet from 5:00 pm until the time of service.
