KEITH BERNARD JACOBS

Keith Bernard Jacobs, a beloved maintenance engineer, passed away on March 14, 2026, in his hometown of Dallas, Texas, where his journey began on September 5, 1969.

Born and raised in Dallas, Keith graduated from North Dallas High School with the Class of 1988. He was known for his sweet, truthful, kind, honest, and loyal nature. A man of faith, he lived with straightforward integrity, balancing a talkative spirit with a deep appreciation for his own personal space. Neat and orderly, he took pride in his appearance and in caring for his clean truck.

Keith found joy in playing cards and dominoes, visiting the casino, and cheering on his beloved Dallas Cowboys. Above all, he cherished his family, taking great pride in them and in the life-changing gift of receiving a kidney. Many who knew him described him as “one of a kind,” a man whose presence brought comfort and whose sincerity inspired those around him.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Kimberley Jacobs; their son, Jeremy Morris-Jacobs; daughters Kenya Chism-Jacobs and Kyra Chism-Jacobs; stepchildren Dominique Brown (Makesha Brown), Kasha Brown, and Whitley Brown; his stepfather, Willie Fred Ward; brother Deric Ward; nephew General Ward; aunts Joyce Jacobs, Cammie Smith, Brenda Banks, and Juanita Newman; and uncles Marvin Jacobs, Michael Irvin, and Melvin Jacobs, along with many other loving family members and friends. He now rests with his mother Irene Ward Jacobs, father Ernest Edwards, siblings Michael and Michelle Ward, and uncles Clifford Jacobs and Larry Williams Sr.
