Mr. Jacob Rene Perez, a beloved Son, Brother, and Grandson, passed away on August 28, 2023. He came into this world on September 13, 1997, in Austin, Texas, welcomed by his proud parents, Rene and Lisa Perez, as a source of joy and love.

Jacob’s love also extended to his loyal canine son, Dakota Perez, who was always by his side. Their bond was a testament to his capacity for deep and genuine connections.

His presence was a blessing to his family, and his absence leaves a void that can never be filled.

Jacob’s life was a testament to his character and spirit. He was known for his incredible work ethic, always giving his best in everything he pursued. Though he had a youthful spirit and was a big kid at heart, Jacob was also very brave and willing to face life’s challenges head-on. He had a generous heart, always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need.

Jacob was known for his hearty appetite and his light-complected skin, complemented by striking green eyes that drew people in. He had a magnetic personality and was especially popular among the young ladies, who were often eager to share their numbers with him.

He was known affectionately as “Froggy” by those close to him, a nickname that reflected his spirited and sometimes stubborn nature. Jacob was unapologetically himself, caring little about the opinions of others. He embodied a youthful personality, yet he could also be a responsible and mature adult when the situation called for it.
