John Jacobsen Obituary 1934 - 2026
John’s full and joyous life will be celebrated on Thursday, June 11 at Platte Woods United Methodist Church in Platte Woods, Missouri. Visitation will begin at 1 p.m. with a memorial service at 2 p.m. A private burial of his ashes will take place at Rose Hill Cemetery in Parker, South Dakota.
Memorial contributions are suggested to the Parkville Rotary Club. Todd DeMint will be our funeral director and personal concierge serving the family.
In June, our normal Rotary Third Thursday evening social will be held on the 4th Thursday -- June 25th, 5:30 PM at Weatherby Lake, C Point Pavilion. This will include the annual "Changing of the Guard" ceremony, as our fiscal year ends June 30th. Typically the event winds down about sunset, and there may be other interesting lake orientated activities during this time period. More details as they become available.
We needed to move the date so we could get this high demand space reserved and confirmed for the Club. Mark Comfort made the arrangements for us this year (thank you). Please mark your calendar and save the date.
Start time is 5:30 PM, and we will have a picnic style barbeque and beverages available for all. The invite includes all spouses and guests, of course … and I do anticipate the cost per person will be in the range of $30-35 per person (a superb value for what you will be receiving). More info will be provided as we get closer to the date.
It has been a number of years since we have been to this location, and I know you all will have a great time.
Thanks all,
Dave Rittman
