Louis G. Jacobson born in Coleville UT Oct. 26th, 1937 died peacefully on March 18, 2010 at his home surrounded by his loving family after a long hard battle with cancer. He said “I can’t fight what I can’t see,” but in typical Lou style he fought like a champion. He will eternally be a treasured husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather . He is survived by his wife of 37 years, JoAnn Jacobson, Children: John Jacobson (Oaudia), Becky Thome, Chris Sly (Crystal), Tammie Atkin, Kathy Van. He has fourteen grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his mother and father . Lou had a passion for life and he loved people. He never met a stranger and he loved making people laugh. Lou was always up for an adventure in the outdoors, snowmobiling, hunting, traveling with his wife or fishing in Alaska. He had a natural gift for welding and always said “I can weld anything but the crack of dawn, a broken heart and give me a little time and I can even help ease that.” He worked many years for United Precision, later opening Lou’s RV in Tooele. During his years in business Lou made many friends. He made sure everyone that entered his shop heard a funny joke or one of his many stories. Lou was a President of The Fratemal Order of the Eagles, and for two years President of the Tooele Travelers Good Sam’s Club. Services will be held at Tate Mortuary , 110 S. Main St., Tooele on Wednesday, March 24th at 11:00AM. A viewing will be held from 6- 8 PM Tuesday evening and one hour prior to the service.
