In Memory Of

Jacob Liedle, Age 31, of Anaconda, Montana

October 24, 1989 – April 17, 2021

It is again with great sadness and heavy hearts that we have lost another son, brother, hustler, father, uncle and best friend. Jacob David Liedle was taken way before his time at the early age of 31 on April 17,2021. In December of 2017 Jacob was diagnosed with the monster that ultimately took his life, malignant melanoma. During his long-hard battle, he spent every day fighting as hard as he possibly could to survive, showing his two beautiful daughters how badly he wanted to be there for them, unfortunately, someone else had a different plan for him. Jacob was born in Deerlodge, Montana on October 24th 1989 to David and Michelle (Tuxill) Liedle. He spent his childhood in Anaconda, Mt where he met some of best of lifelong friends. These friends were the ones stuck by his side throughout his whole entire battle with this horrible disease. As a young boy he enjoyed fishing, hunting, riding his bike, playing baseball, basketball and spending time with his daddy and grandparents in Havre at the family ranch. Of course, we can’t forget him always finding a way to get himself into a little bit of mischief along the way. With those big brown eyes and beautiful smile though, he could get himself out of almost anything. Jacob was the graduating class of 2008 at Anaconda senior high but never received his diploma until 2009 – because he decided to be a super senior (wink). Jacob went on to be quite the successful business man in his young life, there was something about his swag, always so fresh. His medical business was also the place where he met many of the great people, he now calls his family. Jacob was also quite the gamer and would challenge anyone to a quick game of call of duty or pub G. And definitely didn’t hold back letting you know if you weren’t any good. In 2013 Jacob was blessed with his 1st daughter Avrii Onna Michelle Liedle. The minute we saw his eyes light up seeing her beautiful little face, we all knew what a great daddy he was going to be. In 2014 he then met Lauren Nicole Zachow which ended up to be his best friend and the love of his life. They shared a very special bond. There wasn’t anything in the world that he wouldn’t have done for her and he made sure to show her that up until his final days. July 12, 2016 Jacob and Lauren were blessed with their beautiful daughter Aubriella Nicole Liedle. Jacob loved his little girls more than anything in this world and the bond he shared with his daughters was absolutely unbreakable. Those girls love their daddy so much, right down to the smell of his feet. Jacob was the absolute best daddy in the entire world and in his final months he loved to do nothing more other than spend his days on the couch, with his mommy and best friend, day in and day out, watching SpongeBob or 90-day Fiancé, snuggling with his girls and making sure they knew how much he loved them. Jacob was the definition of a true warrior and the things that he endured during his short life no one should ever have to experience ever. Jacob was one hell of a fighter and he wanted every single person to remember him that way. He fought this monster till he took his final breath. Jacob is survived by his parents and his biggest supporters, David and Michelle Liedle. His two siblings, his favorite sissy- Miranda Liedle (Jeremy Seitzinger- the brother he never had) and somewhere out there, Angelena Liedle. Nieces Madison Lodell, Alyssa Liedle-Caissey, Zaeh Liedle Wandler, Krusis Murphy, Monroe Devine and his one and only nephew Carson David Liedle. Surviving grandparents Margaret Liedle, and Larry and Kathleen Tuxill. Aunts Lia Liedle (Gene Opp), Laurie Goddard (Gary), Rick Tuxill (Beverly), Dede Hayward (Terry), Tara Holland (Tim). Jacob is proceeded in death by his grandfather Douglas Liedle, and cousin Douglas Garland. He has numerous cousins and friends not mentioned that were also a huge support during his long journey. Jacobs support systems was absolutely huge!! Jacob will be joining 2 of his very special friends on the other side. Miguel Rice #9 (RIP bud) and Travis Dye. Jacob was one of a kind and he is going to be truly missed by many. A celebration of life is going to be planned for Jacob for July 02nd ,2021 at Washoe Park Pavillion. Montana Fresh style just the way he asked us to celebrate him. Jacob chose to be cremated and it just happened you went up on 4/20/21. I see you brother, I hear you, I feel you. Hope heaven has a smoking section.

    Jake,
    So many conversations, and arguments, and how I will miss both. I remember the many times we would talk at the gym or when we ran in to each other, about everything, and how I always hoped for the best in every circumstance. I pray you are free now, and that those who love you can also be free of worry and sadness in the wake of the loss of your physical life. I were one of a kind, and just know, that your girls, and Lauren, will have the support and love that you would want for them, worry not friend…. Blessings upon your family, and all those who are hurting amidst your departure, Warrior. Nii IISheea.

    Much love, Nancy and Dennis

    I met Fresh (Jacob) on Xbox playing PUBG in 2018 and we became friends and grinded for a long time with a squad almost every night. Having friends on Xbox is a different kind of friendship. I got to know Fresh very well though Instagram and Snapchat and short conversations through text. I know he loved his family and was one awesome man and he was one tough dude. Good friends are hard to find and he was one of a kind. It’s crazy how you don’t even have to meet someone physically and can develop a friendship. Love you brotha can’t wait to meet you up there big guy
