Jacob Doyle Stark was born November 14, 1987, to Carmen Renae McCrone and Franklin Joe Stark in West Plains, Missouri.

He is survived by his daughter, Harmony; his parents; sister, Nikki Stark (Mecole); brother, Joseph Stark; and adored by many nieces, nephews, and family.

Jacob was a free spirit, a wild child, that chose his path to walk in life with no regrets.  He is also a dad, son, and brother, above all else.  If you knew Jacob, you knew he never hid or shied away from who he was, and that's what made him stand out in any crowd.

His family and friends will miss what no other brought into their lives, a true love with a heart and smile larger than life.   He left a huge imprint on so many lives that if you knew Jacob, you wouldn't forget him.

Jacob was an open book with still so much more to write.  He didn't allow just anyone into his world, but when he did, he did it with open arms.  To anyone fortunate enough to have known the real man, they knew someone real, true, and raw. The mold was broken with Jacob because there will never be another one like him that can bring that smile, so full of laughter and a heart full of passion as Jacob Stark brought to this world.  The greatest love of Jacob's life was his daughter, Harmony.  They said Jacob went to a special place in his mind before he passed, and we know he was with his daughter.

Jacob, you lived and died your way, and we send all our love with you on your journey through the clouds, and we will see you again on the other side.

Fly Jacob fly, you're free now.
