  HONORING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF BOONE COUNTY COUNCILMAN STEVE JACOB

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. VICTORIA SPARTZ

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 1, 2021

  Mrs. SPARTZ. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of a 
dedicated public servant and constituent, Steve Jacob. Steve passed 
away peacefully on Wednesday, March 17, 2021, surrounded by his family.
  Steve Jacob was born on March 16, 1947, to parents William and 
Marietta. He grew up on the family farm in Jasonville, Indiana, going 
on to attend Purdue University. Upon graduation, Steve began his career 
at Indiana Bell, working his way to the role of vice president of 
Ameritech. Through his knowledge and experience, Steve served as a 
Congressional Fellow here in Washington, D.C., working for the telecom 
industry.
  Though Steve had many commendable experiences in his career, he is 
perhaps best known in my district for his 20-plus years in public 
service. Steve served on the Boone County Council and at the time of 
his passing was the president of the council. His work on numerous 
boards and committees is to be commended. I am confident that the 
impact he made in public office will be felt for many years to come.
  I extend my deepest condolences to his wife, Janet; his children 
Jeff, Jill, and Chris; and to the rest of his family and friends.

                          ____________________
