Jacob was born April 26, 2010, in Wisconsin Rapids to Scott and Jessica Stoflet. He attended Immanuel Lutheran School and was a member of the soccer team. At the time of his passing, Jacob was a junior at Lincoln High School and was working as a caddie at Sand Valley Golf Course.

Jacob loved spending time outdoors, especially hunting and fishing. Some of his favorite memories were made fishing and ice fishing up north on the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage with his grandpa and cousin Dane. He was an avid athlete who began ice skating at the age of two and started playing mini mite hockey as soon as he was old enough. He was especially excited for the upcoming hockey season and was looking forward to being the goalie this year. Jacob also enjoyed golfing with his friends at Tri-City Golf Course and The Ridges, as well as playing baseball. He played in summer leagues each year and had started his baseball journey as a young child playing T-ball.
Jacob was a person of strong faith and a member of Immanuel Lutheran Church. He was very active in the youth group and enjoyed encouraging his friends and others to get involved and attend.

Jacob had a special love for animals, especially his four beloved dogs, Bailey, Axel, Colt, and Ivy. They were an important part of his life and brought him great joy.
