Bill's Site at the Family Cemetery

    Bill played in the Dixie Youth League with all of his childhood buddies from Tee Ball through the Majors, making the All-Star team a number of times. He and his teammates would pile into the back of his momma’s Bronco and head out to the All-Star tournaments. He was lucky enough to be coached by his daddy and many wonderful family friends who instilled in him the love of the game. Bill and his teammates on both sides always looked forward to the hotdogs after each game, and they never even cared who had won.
    Bill was an avid golfer and fisherman. He loved to go to Grand Isle with the Resweber family to fish and eat that great Cajun food. He grew up playing golf at Panola Woods with his daddy and later with his brother Ryan and their friends from Huntington. Bill won many trophies in golf and tennis and baseball. He loved the outdoors, camping, restoring his Mustang, and sitting around a campfire with his family and friends. Bill loved spending time with Tarra’s family whom he considered his family, too. Bill was quiet and introspective and warm and the best friend anyone could ever have. He loved deeply from his soul. He especially enjoyed hearing all the stories of the humorous antics of his childhood growing up in Woodland with his little brother, Ryan, and their many wonderful friends around the neighborhood. Little Bill would laugh the loudest when hearing the story told again of how he chopped up his brother’s First Birthday cake and then hid the knife in a shoe box.
    Bill was a member of St. Patrick Catholic Church in Ferriday, LA. He was Baptized and Confirmed, received his First Holy Communion and was an altar server for many years. Bill grew up in the church. His first years were spent in the front of the church on his momma’s hip as she directed the church in song. He entertained himself by sticking his tootsie roll pop in his momma’s hair or by lying with his feet propped up on the altar eating sweet tarts. During high school, Bill worked at the church helping Sister Barbara Gooding with the altar and the bulletin.
    He was employed by Evans Equipment and Environmental of Broussard, LA Bill worked with wonderfully supportive and understanding people.
    Bill is preceded in death by his grandfather, J.T. Jacobs, Jr., and his great-grandparents, Stella and Lee Calhoun and Joshua and Lillian Jacobs.

    Bill leaves to cherish his memory in their hearts forever and ever....his fiancé, Tarra Foreman, his momma, Sherrie Jacobs and his second momma, Rachel Resweber, both of Broussard, LA; his daddy, Bill McMahon and wife Linda of Bastrop; brother, Ryan Calhoun Jacobs McMahon of Baton Rouge; his grandmother, Maudine Calhoun Jacobs of Ferriday; his grandparents, Bill and Beverly McMahon, Staten Island, NY; his special family, Fonda and Bubba Collins of Coteau; uncles Jamie Jacobs and J.L.
