Jacob loved to build things with legos, or just watching his movies or cartoons. He loved his cartoons and to watch animal planet. His favorite foods were spaghetti, pizza and ice cream. He enjoyed seeing old classic cars and watching monster trucks on TV. He really enjoyed hanging out with his brothers and teasing his older brother Joey. They all did everything together, they were all very close. Jacob learned sign language to help with his speech disability, this also helped towards the end when he couldn’t talk anymore.
