Jacob F.L. Havill

Jacob F.L. Havill, 28, lost his battle with depression on Monday March 9th. He was born May 15th, 1997. Beloved second son of Shala Havill and Preston Blanchett.

He is survived by his mother, Shala Havill (Jim Moore); his father, Preston Blanchett (Beth Blanchett); and stepfather, Dustin Ohlfest; the mother of his children, Alexandra Thompson; his children, Ellyona and Grayson; his siblings, Zachary, Brandon, Elizabeth, Nyah, and Preston Jr.; as well as many extended family and friends.

He was a loyal friend, sensitive, affectionate, soft-spoken, kind, patient, polite, and helpful. He was always there for those who needed a listening ear.

He was charming, intelligent, witty, clever, and could be described as the funniest person you’ve ever met. He was selfless and he loved making others smile and laugh. He loved chess, longboarding, playing pool, and video games.

He is loved and will be eternally missed. Special thanks from the family to Bradley Varner and Tyler Bryant.
