On the 1st of August Jacob passed away. He had Duchenne muscular dystrophy, which is a terminal muscle-wasting disease.
Jacob was 21, and he lived with his Mum Claire, Dad Darren, and doting big sister Lauren. He has an older brother, Jordon.
“I’m struggling so much at the moment to find words, as I said before Jacob has always been my best friend in the whole world – he was my whole world – and he was such a beautiful soul.”
