Michael Andrew Jacobacci Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

JACOBACCI - Michael A. Jacobacci, age 96, passed away peacefully on April 29, 2020 in the comfort of his home, surrounded by his family. He survived the great depression, worked his tail off, served 21 years in the Navy; retiring as Chief Aviation Electrician Mate in 1962, with many other accomplishments in his lifetime, he did it all. Working his way out of poverty to a successful and blessed life, he was part of the greatest generation. He truly lived the American Dream. While he was a chauffeur to the local nuns at St. Mary’s in Jacksonville, Florida, he met his loving wife, Evelyn. We would like to quote this next paragraph straight from him: “My wife Evelyn was an orphan from 3 years old to the age of 18, and she was raised by the nuns with 100 other kids. I got the absolute best one! That gal… she was smart, beautiful, a devoted Catholic and faithful wife. It was not always easy, but we endured through the good and bad times, sharing 70 beautiful years together. When you start out with only two people and end up with 24 people, that’s production. Evelyn and I makes 26. That truly is an accomplishment.” He had no regrets and would live every minute over again… good or bad. By making many mistakes, overcoming poverty, and countless sacrifices, he managed to acquire a comfortable life. No one else can say that unless they were born in the 20’s. He will be missed dearly by his children, Stephen Jacobacci (Stasia Jacobacci), Thomas Jacobacci, Michele Giammarco (Edward Giammarco); Grandchildren, Angie, Rochelle, Michael, Melissa, David, & Eddie; 12 great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, & friends and family from all over. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Community Hospice, 4266 Sunbeam Rd., Jacksonville, FL. 32257. A Graveside Service will be held on Tuesday, October 6, 2020 at 10 am at Jacksonville National Cemetery with Military Honors.
