The Jolly Samuel (Sam) M. Jacobs

June 14th, 2010

It is never a good day to come home and hear of the loss of someone, or anyone for that matter.  Prescott lost one of its finest to a better place wherever that may be….

Here’s to a jolly laugh that could be heard throughout the town, one that could only belong to Sam Jacobs!

Sam Jacobs

May 1, 1928 – June 6, 2010

Sam was born in Greely, Colo. He moved to Prescott 18 years ago. He is survived by two sons, Larry and Steve; a daughter, Devra; three grandchildren, Rebecca, Nora and Eli; and three great-grandchildren, Alora, Emma and Benjamin. He passed peacefully without pain – a short time after literally singing and laughing, and assuring those present that he was very happy.

Sam was a devoted father and grandfather, and was married to his wife Ellie for 57 years. He grew up in Carlsbad, N.M. – working in his parents’ businesses – Roy’s Rock Shop and the New Mexico Indian Trading Post. Sam attended New Mexico Military Institute and later Colorado State University at Boulder. After graduating College, he joined the U.S. Army and was in the Army Corps of Engineers, achieving the rank of Captain in the Reserves.

Sam went on to become a very successful aerospace engineer, well-known for his expertise in metallurgy. He was a president and fellow of the Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering and a longtime member of the American Society for Metals. After retiring from aerospace, he worked with his wife Ellie in real estate, where they did well as a husband/wife team – and this is how most of Sam’s friends in Prescott came to know him.

Sam was an expert photographer, and taught many others the craft of photography and color printing. He was rarely seen without a favorite camera in his hand.

Sam’s wish was that his friends gather for a party to celebrate his life, which was full and complete. As per his wishes, there will be a party from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday, June 17, 2010, at Casa Sanchez, 1459 West Gurley in Prescott, to honor Sam’s life.

Arizona Ruffner Wakelin Funeral Home assisted the family.
