Glen R. Jacobs

Glen R. Jacobs was born November 14, 1955 in Lake Charles, Louisiana to the late Ernest F. and Beatrice “Bea” Jacobs.

The oldest of four children, he held himself to a high standard, leading by example to his siblings. During his school years, he often accompanied his father’s blues band “Cookie and the Cupcakes” to various gigs. He attended Marion High School, graduating class of 1972. Upon graduation he enrolled at McNeese State University where he completed a year before answering the call to serve his beloved nation.

In 1973 he enlisted into the United States Air Force where he served as a combat medic. It was during his deployment to the Philippines that he met Concepcion. They were married on October 25, 1977 and welcomed two daughters, Christina and Glenda. Due to injuries sustained during his enlistment he received an honorable medical discharge and returned with his daughters to Lake Charles.

He held the duty to his family in the highest regard, although medically disabled, he did not allow it to deter him from providing a good life for his children. He was the most valuable man, a jack of all trades, a master of none, he took odd jobs to provide them a quality education. He was a stern but fair and kind man to his children; he taught them to never give up nor complain no matter the circumstances. He was a dedicated family man who enjoyed nothing more than spending time together, cooking, or BBQ’n.
