Jacob Durel Coffman

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Jacob Durel Coffman. Jacob brought a big, unmistakable energy into the world. He was beautifully loud, sometimes a bit of a wrecking ball, but that was simply a reflection of the force and passion with which he lived.

From the time he was a young boy, Jacob wore his heart on his sleeve. He was profoundly genuine — open, earnest, and unfiltered in the best ways. He will always be remembered as the most sincere kid a parent could ever hope for.

A gifted athlete in high school, Jacob excelled on the football field and grew up training in Judo and Jiu-Jitsu, developing a quiet strength and discipline that balanced his wild energy. He carried that same drive into his young adult life and had recently — and proudly — earned a promotion to a manager position at his job.

Beneath his fierce exterior lay a deeply thoughtful and creative soul. In recent days, he had discovered a new passion for writing his own songs, pouring his heart into words and music. Above all else, Jacob fiercely loved his five siblings. His vibrant spirit, his creativity, his deep sincerity, and the big, loud space he held in his family’s life will be missed beyond measure.

He is survived by his parents, Clay and Jessica Coffman; his brothers, Travis, Clayton, Nathan, and David; his sister, Abigail; his grandparents, Arden and Kathy Jones, and Conrad and Linda Miller; his grandfather, Lynn Coffman; and his aunts, uncles, and numerous cousins who loved him dearly.
