We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services – Cedar Rapids
Sorry for your loss. Wayne was my first right-seat partner back in high school when we cruised 1st Ave in Cedar Rapids, 45 years ago. May he rest in peace. 🙏
I remember talking with Wayne during class and at lunch when we both attended JFK High School. I remember him as funny and sweet. Rest in peace Wayne, prayers for your family and friends as they adjust to a life with you in their memories and heart.
Most of my life I have only seen Wayne a handful of times. In the past year I got to see him more as he attended Dialysis with his Aunt Doris Jacobs. Wayne was a man of humor even when he didn’t feel well. He always had the time to chat quick with my grandmother and I. His smile will always be a memory for me. The joy Doris and him had as they greeted each other on treatment days warmed my heart.
With this loss I know my grandmother was there to welcome him into peace.
Sending my love and support to all the Jacobs family.

Larry Yoder and I send our condolences to Waynes family. We both worked with him at P&G. Remembering his sense of humor he was funny. At work he talked about movies, old school music, his car, and his greatest love his family. He will be greatly missed. RIP
