Jacob David Kelley, 20, of Nampa, Idaho passed away at home on December 5, 2022, surrounded by loved ones, after a lifetime battle with Marfan Syndrome. Jacob was born on February 1, 2002, to Josh & Jenn Kelley. Jacob attended Idaho Arts Charter School finishing up in 2020. As a graduation gift, Jacob was able to attend the NASCAR Cup Series Championship in 2021, highlighted with his "racer" winning. On April 10, 2022, Jacob dedicated his life as one of Jehovah's Witnesses and looked forward to the hope of the future with perfect health (Isaiah 35:5&6). He held this promise dear to his heart, looking forward to a time when he would have no pain, be in perfect health and able to run and "leap like the deer". He touched and changed many lives & hearts with his wise old soul. Jacob worked for the family business Kelley Plumbing and attended classes at CWI. He was passionate about family, friendships, outdoors, fishing, music, and his collection of vinyl records, NASCAR, and his football teams Boise State & Pittsburgh Steelers. In 2011 Make-A-Wish granted his wish to meet the Steelers team and attend a game. He enjoyed life to the fullest, looking on the bright side, and staying positive even on the rough days. Being part of the Intermountain Bass Anglers Club with his father and brother was a highlight for the family along with time spent together, and the memories made outdoors including their trip to Yellowstone Park last year. We will miss our sweet, courageous, quick witted, strong boy. Jacob will always be in our hearts, and we thank him for the lessons and blessings he left us.

Jacob was predeceased by his grandfather Clifford Green. He is survived by his parents Joshua and Jennifer Kelley; brother Justin Kelley; grandparents Joseph & Marva Kelley; grandmother Lou Ann Green; aunts, uncles, and cousins.
