Jacob A. Kern

Jacob A. Kern, of Deshler Ohio passed away on October 7, 2024. He was born in Toledo, Ohio on June 11, 1993. Jacob was always considered to be an old soul, he liked keeping it simple. He thoroughly enjoyed history particularly the Civil War taking several trips to Gettysburg with his dad and participating in many reenactments. 

Nothing was better than hanging out by the campfire enjoying the outdoors, taking a hike and tossing his fishing line into the water. Not long-ago, Jake went to the farmers market and he said how much fun he had, just something as simple as that made him feel good. 

Jacob was an avid watcher of movies, liking both comedies and a good western. Some movies he watched so many times that him and his brother Don could have a whole conversation using moving lines only. Did I mention he liked food? Oh boy did he like food, eating it, making it and posting all kinds of pictures of food. Always looked forward to fall and making a good pot of soup. 

He always liked taking a road trip, several over the years with his cousin Jimmy, even if he didn’t know how to get there. Although he was taken from us too soon, think of him fondly, and laugh about some of the silly things he said and did. 

Surviving are his parents, Cindy (Gene) Krauzer and John Kern; siblings, Don Lee, Blake Kern, Brandi Krauzer (Eric) and Dustin Krauzer (Ashley); nieces and nephews, Briana, Aiden, Leo, Lane and Ellia. Jake was preceded in death by his grandparents, James and Bernice Kaser; and Jack and Donna Kern. 

A Celebration of Life service for Jacob will be held on Friday, October 25, 2024 at 11:00 am at New Life Alliance Church, 7215 Noward Rd. Waterville, OH 43566.  Memorial contributions may be made to the family to defray the cost of the funeral.
