Jacob Grossman Obituary: Jacob Harris Grossman (“Jakey”) brought an uncommon light into this world. His energetic character focused a light on everybody that crossed his way. In his short 22 years, Jakey left his blemish on this world and changed such countless lives. He may have been little, yet he was absolutely powerful. Jakey will be recollected by his amazingly cherishing and gave guardians, Rachel and Alan Grossman; his closest companion and sister,

Talia Grossman; his committed grandparents, Fran and Mike Grossman and Claire and Warren Pulner and Theresa Pulner (z”l); and his always adoring aunties and uncles and cousins. Jakey was cherished by so many. He was engaged with USY, Buddy Baseball, Chai Lifeline, Kids of Courage, HUGS, Best Buddies, Friendship Circle, National Ability Center in Park City Utah and the Congregation Beth Shalom Community.

We are in Jewish Disability Advocacy month and it’s just fitting, realizing the number of individuals entered the clinical field or specialized curriculum in light of the effect Jakey made. He was so pleased to be Jewish and regardless of his inability, he would not allow anything to stop him. Jakey passed soon after Shabbos began encompassed by close loved ones.
