Jacob Daniel Stokes

June 5, 2017 - September 3, 2025

Jacob Daniel Stokes, age 8, of Terrell, Texas, passed away on September 3, 2025.

He was born on June 5, 2017, in Greenville, Texas. Jacob is survived by his loving father, Ryan Stokes; his big brother, Kaleb Stokes; and his little sister, Adalynn Stokes. He was preceded in death by his mother, Rachel Vann, and his brother, Jason Mott.

Though Jacob lived with Prader-Willi Syndrome, he was known for his joyful spirit, his love for learning, and his gift of greeting everyone with hugs. He delighted in silly dances and helping others in any way he could. Jacob's radiant happiness and caring heart touched all who knew him and will continually challenge us to make the hard decision of choosing joy every day.

We invite you to join us in celebrating his life on September 10, 2025 at 10AM at New Hope Funeral Home in Sunnyvale, TX.
