Jacob was a Great Friend, would do anything for anybody at the drop of a hat, I remember Jacob, Me and Randy May went Crawfishing one weekend just before we got out of school ended up being one of the best times I ever had, fallen out of boats, swimming around snakes, getting lost it was great. Jacob you will be missed, and Never Forgotten.Sherry Carpenter
A beloved husband and father, Jacob Allen “Jake” Kiger was taken from us on Friday, April 9, 2010, along with his cousin, Russel “Trey” Kiger, in an auto accident. He was 38. Jake’s kind-hearted demeanor and passion for life will be greatly missed by all. He touched so many lives and will forever live within our hearts. His unconditional love for family, LSU, and golf was abundant. Jake was a loyal employee of Gallo Winery of Louisiana for 11 years and also served in the Army National Guard.
