JACOB SKYLAR GAMBLE, age 24, A true hero left this physical world on Saturday January 17, 2026, after a lifelong struggle with physical health issues. Jake was known and loved by so many in the Franklin County community because of his kind, funny nature and his love for all things Fire, Police and Rescue. He had the biggest personality and the kindest soul and that love for others continues to live on in his final act of giving as he was able to provide 4 people with the gift of life through organ donation, one being his own aunt, Michelle Norvell Gamble. Jacob's sense of kindness and love for everyone is an inspiration to all who knew him and the family hopes everyone will find their own way to celebrate this amazing young man with their own acts of kindness, love and giving. To know him was to love him and nothing made Jake happier than everyone coming together and being present in the moment with all the people he loved.

Jacob is proceeded in death by great-grandparents Alvin and Maybelle Reynolds and Doney (Hotshot) and Anna Nell Gamble.

He is lovingly survived by paternal grandparents Debby and Bobby Gamble of Huntland, TN, Maternal grandparents, Mary Gifford of Winchester, Tn and Jim (Julie) Goins of Huntsville, AL, parents Jonathan (Troy) Gamble of Huntland, TN, Amanda Gamble and stepmom Amanda Moore of Belvidere, TN, sister, Anna Gamble (Kadin Barnes) and niece Rowan Barnes.
