Jacob Thomas King was born May 3, 1986, to Thomas and Lori (Klopfenstein) King in Wauseon Ohio.  He passed away on Dec 11, 2016 in Bryan Ohio after a tragic single car accident.

He graduated from Pettisville High School in 2004 and worked for Swanton Welding and Fabrication for the last eight years as a supervisor.  Jacob married Brittany Fryman on August 29, 2015; they lived in Wauseon Ohio, and were a part of the Kings Cross Church in Defiance Ohio.  Jacob enjoyed watching and participating in truck pulls, motor cross sports, being at the lake for "Sunday funday", late nights at the shop with friends, and most of all spending time with family.

Jacob is survived by his wife Brittany, Parents Thomas and Lori of Archbold, Ohio, Siblings Nicholas (Samantha) and Isaac of Sarasota, FL, Grandparents Lester and Marge King of Wauseon, OH, and Gene and Ruth Klopfenstein of Pettisville, OH.

Services will be held on Saturday at 2 PM at Pettisville Missionary Church with Revs. Samuel Andres, Nathanael Schumacher, and Jesse Engle officiating.  Interment will follow in the Pettisville Cemetery.  Friends may call at Pettisville Missionary Church from 1-8 PM on Friday.

Memorials in Jacob's name can be given to the Make a Wish Foundation, an organization that Jacob was involved with for many years, which also brought him great joy.

His wife, family, and in-laws want to offer their sincerest gratitude for your love, prayers, and support during this time.
