In Tribute to
Steven D. Jacoby
43 years old. Residence: Alexandria, Va.
Passenger of Flight 77
NOTE: The visitor remarks and comments below are NOT NECESSARILY the feelings or beliefs of this website's webmaster or sponsors.
I look across my desk to Jake's picture every day, but it's always on this day that the memories tug harder. Jake was a close friend in Va. during the years that I will always count among the best of my life. He was blessed with a broad presence and an infectious smile... which made even our arguments amusing.
Today, I both miss him and give thanks for the brief time in which he enriched my life.
You will never be forgotten.

Last night I watched a documentary by National Geographic about 9-11. It made me wonder about a name of a person who I had read was a victim of one of the plane crashes. After searching the internet I found that the "Steven Jacoby" I knew was one of the victims of the Flight 77 crash. I thought I would add some bio that I knew about Steve, or as someone else called him, "Jake," which was short for "Jacoby." I knew him since 4th grade at Rutherford Elementary School, Rutherford Heights, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He lived about five houses from the school and playground, so we were at his house often. He was active in sports, and I remember he was quite good at baseball. As someone else added previously, his mother's name was Doris. My mother knew his mother from high school. My mother was Doris also, and both had the same maiden name less one letter, and they were sometimes confused for each other. Steve graduated from Central Dauphin East Senior High School, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, class of 1975. I hadn't seen Steve since graduation. Rest in peace, Steve.

I did not know Steven personally. I only know about him through his brother Kenneth and his girlfriend, Michelle (my cousin). My heart goes out to his family and friends. Kenneth is looking to reach out to his family for information on where his brother's remains might be buried. Please contact him at 717-939-2849. Or you can email me at cvanvalkenburg61 (at) aol (dot) com. My name is Crystal. Again, my sympathy to the family and friends of Steven.
God bless,
Crystal

Steve was/is my step-brother. Steve was a warm, friendly, highly intelligent man with a lot to offer the world. He loved his family, enjoyed his job, and was physically active. I regret that we were not very close; we lived in different areas, and we didn't get to know each other as well as I would have liked. Anyone with questions about Steve's parents kindly contact me at clf41970 (at) yahoo (dot) com; I will be happy to help.

Though I knew Jake on a limited basis (thru Metrocall), I still think of him at various times, and especially during certain times, such as this past weekend. I was partaking in our USA Mobility 2008 Presidents' Club award ceremony in Mexico, and during the evening when the awards were being handed out, I thought about the times when I was with Metrocall and the ceremonies back then when he was one of the presenters. As a matter of fact, I've thought that at each ceremony that I've attended since his passing. You help me stop long to understand how we should behave with the people we still have around us. For that, I am grateful for having met Jake and the small part he has played in my life. Thank you, Jake!

Lee - Steven Jacoby's parents were Gerald and Doris Jacoby from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. I am Steven's first wife and wanted to provide this information to you.

I had spoken to Steve on the telephone in my work at a Northern VA company that utilized pagers from the company Steve had worked for. I had spoken to him about 3 times and had remembered his name when I saw it and it was confirmed he had worked for the company I had dealt with. It was sad to hear of the loss. Thanks for letting me share. I am very sorry for your loss.

Daniel, Please respond and let us know if Steven is the son of Robert and Elaine. We believe he is our father's brother's son.

My family and I believe that Steven is our first cousin. We have not seen each other since we were children. After Stevens father passing away at a very young age we lost touch.....We would love to hear from Aunt Elaine, or Steven's wife, just so that we know one way or another if this is our Steven. We are from MA. Our hearts go out to the family whether this is our Steven or not.......

sadness concerning the 9-11-2001 attack, or of positive memories. If you knew this

us something about his/her life:
what kind of person he/she was,
what nice points you remember about him/her,
what kind of relationship you had with him/her,
what you two perhaps did together,
what he/she meant to you,
or other things about him/her might be especially encouraging

This web site is intended solely as a means of allowing all of us to express our grief and sympathy in behalf of the people who lost their lives, and also our love and compassion towards those who lost loved ones and friends in the 9/11/01 tragedy.

Our hearts are very touched with concern in behalf of those people, and it is to them that we dedicate this web site. It is not our intent to venture into the realms of WHO should face judgement, to take responsibility for those terrible events, because we have no way of knowing for sure who all might fall into that category. Therefore, any letters or notes written passing judgment upon any person or group will not be published on this site. We do NOT want this site to be a base for expressions of hatred, but only for expressions of LOVE!

This web site is affiliated with 24K Gold Music Shows - an oldies music showband performing in Central Florida. The members of the showband feel strongly that there were many heroes manifested during the onslaught of terror associated with 9-11, and present this site as a memorial to those whose lives were lost, and the loved ones they left behind.
24K Gold Music Shows perform primarily 50-60s Oldies, Elvis songs, DooWop, and older country music, as well as patriotic songs. All of the musicians, singers, dancers, and staff of the 24K Gold Music Shows extend their deepest sympathies to every one who lost loved ones on that terrible day.
24K Gold Music Shows performs an original song called "The Day America Cried", which is a 9-11 tribute song. In the live shows, they honor with the song not only the heroes of 9-11 but also those who are still alive: the police personnel, firefighters, emergency personnel, soldiers, and others who have served our country and kept us all safe.
Listen also to this beautiful, touching song "Love Can Build a Bridge" by 24K Gold Music Shows. Even though strictly speaking it's not a 9-11 memorial song, I still feel it is a very fitting song for the occasion!
