HOPE: Richard Bryan Jacobs, 80, joined his heavenly family Tuesday, June 8, 2021. He was born March 6, 1941, in Hope to McKinley and Myrtle (Williams) Jacobs.
He was a beloved husband, dad, poppa, a southern gentleman, and a rancher who lived his life taking care of his land, cattle, and his beloved family.
After graduating high school, he began his life long career of working at South Texas cattle auctions penning cattle. He began calling pens at Hallettsville Livestock in 1959 and retired in January 2019 after 60 years of doing what he loved. He worked for several auction rings including Columbus, Wharton, Edna, Lexington, Bay City & Flatonia Livestock. In 1981, he and his brother, Johnny, purchased the Edna Livestock Market. They ran the auction successfully as partners until the untimely passing of Johnny in an automobile accident in 1983. He worked calling pens for the next 36 years, and there wasn't anyone who could do it better.
In 1967, he met the love of his life, Sandra Stevens, and they were married three months later on January 20, 1968. They enjoyed a full life together raising three kids, traveling with friends, going out to eat, enjoying one another's company, and working side by side as Sandra became his most dedicated ranch hand.
Richard loved the Texas Longhorns, playing dominoes, volleyball, ping pong, and fast pitch softball, and watching his kids and grandkids play in all sports. He had a love for music that he passed on to his kids, grandkids, nieces, and nephews.
