Tonyale “Big Boy” Jacobs was born in Monroe, Louisiana, the only son of his parents and the first grandson of his grandparents. At an early age, Tony accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior at New St. James Missionary Baptist Church.
Tony lived his life as a true jokester, welcomed and adored by anyone who met him, always finding a way to make you laugh. He would say things like, “I can’t drink because I gotta drive,” (LOL).
Tony was a real family man and a great daddy! He loved to cook and barbecue and gather with friends and family, looking for a challenge when it comes to them bones (dominoes).
Tony was preceded in death by his father, John Lee Jacobs, his grandparents, five aunts, and two uncles.
Tony “Big Boy” Jacobs leaves to cherish his unforgettable memories: his fiancée, LaTrice Manning; son, TaiJauhn Jacobs; daughter, Taliyah Jacobs; mother, Shirley M. Ester; sisters, Angelica Lewis of Lake Charles, LA, Metra Jacobs, TaKesha Jacobs of Monroe, LA, and Anita Thomas (Adam) of West Monroe, LA; brothers, Louis Scott III (Shannon) and John Lewis, both of West Monroe, LA; eight nephews; four nieces; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and close friends.
