Jacob Eason Ashley
Jacob Eason Ashley, 38, of Greenville, passed away on Monday, December 16, 2024.
Born in Greenville, SC, he was the son of Claude (Jay) and Elissa Ashley.
Jacob was one of a kind. He had the greenest of green thumbs, the quickest wit, the world’s most eclectic music taste, a great laugh, and the best smile! Jacob always checked on his friends and family and lifted them up when they needed it the most.
Jacob loved the outdoors from fishing, gardening, and campfires. Jacob was anywhere speed could be found: from BMX bike racing to driving modified Asian imports.
Jacob, we will miss you, your twinkle, your grin, your humor. You touched so many people and created strong memories. You are loved!
In addition to his parents, he is survived by his sisters, Leah (Julian) Nattes and Sarah (Andrew) Culclasure; nieces and nephews, Ariana Mendieta, Gabriel Mendieta, Isabela Nattes, Darien Culclasure, Adelaide Culclasure and Rowan Culclasure.
He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Wallace Robinson and Dru Robinson, and his paternal grandparents, B Don Ashley Sr. and Ruby Ashley.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Saturday, December 28, 2024, at 11:00 AM at Cannon-Byrd Funeral Home – Simpsonville at 313 North Main St. Simpsonville, SC 29681.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Shriners Children’s Hospital or charity of one’s choice.
I am so very sorry that we lost Jacob at this early age.
He carries the good looking genes in our Ashley family.
I only wish that I could have known him.
Losing a loved one is so hard especially a child.
Elissa and Jay, our heart breaks for you and your family. We pray for God’s deep and abiding strength in your life at this very difficult time. Sending our love, Ray and Jean Trail
I can’t even imagine the pain and heartache you all are experiencing! It must be like an arrow through your heart! Saying prayers and sending love.

Thank you for the memories and being full of adventure in the summers we spent together
I am heartbroken for your loss, he and Stephen were friends for 23 years and I always enjoyed his visits to our home. He had a great laugh and sense of humor and was always willing to help out a friend. He will be missed. My heartfelt prayers of comfort and peace that passes all understanding for all his family and friends.
We were not with Jacob a lot, but certain stories come to mind. Bob wanted a young Jacob to really get to go out on Lake Huron and ride the waves on a Sea Doo–can still feel my heart sink when Jacob & Bob flew off the Sea Doo. Still young–then Jacob’s fascination with our friends’ last name–Tudor–reminded his 12-year-old self of a bodily function. But seeing the maturing Jacob over the years, every visit we saw a huge grin on his face. That’s the way we will always remember Jacob. Hugs to his loving family.
Elissa and Jay,
We have no words to express how much we grieve for your sorrow. Our hearts are heavy and our thoughts are with you as you mourn the loss of Jacob. I remember how Jacob and Chris were friends in elementary, middle, and high school! He was always kind, respectful, and friendly, to Chris and our family! He will truly be missed! With deepest sympathy.
No words can express how sorry I am. I know how special Jacob was and how much he meant to so many. Please know I am thinking of all the family now more than ever. I will continue praying for each one of you.
With my heartfelt love,
Anne
Elissa and Jay,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have 25 years of amazing memories with Jacob. All the BMX racing, Boy Scouts, home videos, digging fox holes in our backyard, tree houses, fishing, to growing up and learning to drive and experiencing life together. He has always made a tremendous impact on my life and will continue to do so. Jacob “chip” will greatly be missed.
