Jacob Robert Talley,

Norton Shores, Michigan

Jacob Robert Talley, age 16, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, May 17, 2024, following a dirt bike accident. He was born to John Talley and Samantha Stein in Fremont, Ml, on June 26, 2007. Jake lived in Norton Shores and attended Mona Shores High School. Jake loved spending time with his family and always wanted to be doing something outdoors. He loved working on bikes and cars, and knew a lot about fixing them. Jake idolized his father and they were best friends that did everything together.

He loved to go deer hunting and fishing. Jake looked forward to Sunday morning breakfasts out with Katie, Trever, Benjamin and friends. Jake started riding dirt bikes when he was 5 years old and had a real passion for riding the trails. Jacob was a great big brother and young man, always busy and always smiling. Everyone we are hearing from has said what a great conversationalist he was and how respectful he was.

Jakey you will be missed. We hope there are trails a plenty up there for you to ride. You will be greatly missed by all who knew you every single day.
