Jacob Wayne Stotts

On June 8, 2020, Jacob Wayne Stotts flew with the angels and passed peacefully surrounded by his loved ones. Jacob was born on July 15, 2011 to Joshua Stotts and Samantha (Simmons) Stotts. He lit up every room he entered from the moment he came into this world. His eyes twinkled and his smile brightened the saddest of any persons day. The breadth of the lives he has touched is immeasurable. While Jacob did not speak words with his mouth, his soul spoke volumes.
