Jacob Allen Bull was born Nov. 6, 1996 at Methodist Hospital in Omaha to Donald and Jeanna Bull of Omaha. He died April 6, at the age of 5 years and 5 months.

He loved life and his personality, wit and beautiful eyes melted the hearts of everyone he met. He loved watching sports, particularly basketball (No. 23) and Husker football, especially Eric Crouch. He loved school, Sunday school, playing outside, watching movies, running in his wheelchair, taking care of his sister, Molly, and teasing anyone and everyone he could. He was our son, our grandson, our nephew, our friend, our teacher and, most of all, the light of our lives.
