THE STORY CITY HERALD, Story City, Story County, Iowa, Wednesday, December 28, 2011.

Daniel Craig Jacobson (Dan), 56, of Los Angeles, passed away on December 8, 2011.

Son, brother and husband, Dan was born to Norman A. and the late JoAnn M. (Swanson) Jacobson on January 27, 1955, in Story City, Iowa. He attended the Roland-Story community school system. Dan was married to Tammy Jacobson.

Dan served in the United States Navy from 1975 to 1983 and completed his naval service as an EN DV – Diver First Class. He was a deep water diver and heavy equipment mechanic while enlisted. After military service, Dan was employed as a heavy equipment mechanic in the Los Angeles area. In his youth he was known for taking things apart and as an adult he was known for putting things back together. Dan really enjoyed working with his hands, being near the ocean and working with horses and dogs.

Dan was preceded in death by his mother and a nephew.

He is survived by his wife Tammy; his father and stepmother, Norman and Anita (Joanne) Jacobson; his four siblings, Kay Stanley (Don), Becky Diercks (Ross), Lori Jacobson (Jason Kogan) and Jon Jacobson; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Dan left us too soon, but the gifts of love and memories are forever.

A private (memorial) service will be held for family.
