Obituary -- Justin Michael Jacobson 1973-2016

Justin Michael Jacobson, went to be with Jesus on October 16, 2016,  surrounded by family and a phenomenal staff at Broadlawns Hospital in Des Moines, Iowa.

He was born February 13, 1973 in Boone, Iowa. He grew up in Clearfield Iowa and graduated from Diagonal High School in 1991. Justin was a proud member of the Diagonal Maroons playing sports and in the band. His true passion was playing basketball where he helped his team make it to state in 1989 and 1991.

 In 1991 Justin spent several months recovering from an automobile accident. During his recovery he found his Lord and Savior. He made a decision to further his faith by attending and graduating from Rhema Bible College in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Justin’s greatest joy was spending time with family and friends. He was an avid sports fan, very knowledgeable in sports trivia. He loved watching the San Francisco Giants but his biggest passion was for the Pittsburgh Steelers! When he wasn’t cheering on the Steelers he was shooting pool with friends at Big Dogs in Des Moines. A true competitor Justin loved playing games and winning every time (One Way or Another!!)
