He loved the open roads, traveling, all around the map, meeting people but couldn’t wait to come back home, to his family, and the BBQ’s. Jacob’s presence was larger than life. He was a gentle soul, sincere in everything he did. His laughter would light up a room in a matter of minutes. He was known for his big heart and his infectious smile. Jacob was a proud uncle, always ready to cheer on his nephews and nieces everything they did. You will be deeply missed but we know you are now an angel among us. Mr. Leal is survived by his son, Ethan Leal; Mother Yolanda Leal; siblings Michael Castillo, Juan Ricardo “Rick” Leal (Letty Macias); His nieces Jada, Jaslyn, Stella; nephews Jaizon, Chris; Tia Sandy Castillo and numerous other aunts, uncles, and cousins.
