Jacob was honorably discharged from the USAR CON GP (REINF) in 2014.

Jacob grew up in Tucson, Arizona, the eldest son of Ferdinand and Lyndora Morell. As a child Jacob embodied love. His smile was only surpassed by his laugh with eyes that showed the sincerity of his love for his family and friends.

As he grew older Jacob excelled athletically. His success in sports can be directly attributed to his work ethic and his nat-ural athletic ability. In football Jacob was legendary, setting Santa Rita High School's record with 2,085 yards, 19 touch-downs and 333 carries to become both an All-Division and All-Southern Arizona team select for 2004. Jacob held Tuc-son's single game rushing record with 399 yards and six touchdowns in 2005. He was also named 7th in the city's his-tory for 2000 rushing yards in one season.Jacob also was a all around athlete he played soccer from the age of 5 and was great at it. he played basketball and played baseball all the way to his 11th grade. Jacob took pride in always giving his best on the field.

Learning to live without the sound of Jacob's voice, the com-fort of his hugs and the smile in his eyes will be difficult.

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
