Obituary of Jacob Russell Begley

Jacob Russell Begley was born November 12, 1994 in Monroe, Michigan. He was the only child born from the union of Russell T. Begley and Kathy (Shaw).

Jacob really enjoyed listening to music so much that his face would light up when the music started.  It did not matter to him what genre the song was playing; he was just happy when he could bounce in his chair to the beat of the music.

He would eat anything, but he especially was fond of biscuits and gravy.  His appetite did not reflect on his weight at all. He could eat plates full of food and never gain a pound from doing so.

Jacob and his father, Russell, would spend quality time fishing, camping, and hunting on occasion, in the Chelsea, Michigan area of Brune Lake. They would also make sure to spend time with their special friends in Bath, Michigan and would cherish every moment they could get away to see them.

Jacob Russell Begley, age 25, passed away, peacefully in his sleep at home, on Saturday October 17, 2020.  In addition to his passing, he is preceded by his step grandmother: Betty Begley.

To cherish his memory; he leaves his father and caregiver his entire life: Russell T. Begley; his mother: Katherine Turner; grandparents: Monford Begley, Ardieth Zawacki; half brother: Brendan Turner; three uncles: Manny (Melissa) Begley, Allen Begley and Douglas Dandron along with several aunts, uncles and cousins.
