Jucobbi Deashun Balch

In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." Jucobbi Deashun Balch was born into time on March 11, 1992. He was the third child born to the union of Terry and Alice Faye Juniel Balch in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. Jucobbi was raised in a loving and large family. He attended Tate Temple COGIC. He attended Peake Elementary, Goza Jr. High and later finished his GED certification. Jucobbi was a lover of sports and music. His favorite artists were Lil Boosie, Lil Wayne and Zero. He was that cool, laid-back friend who was in tune with the latest trends of the 21st century. He had a great sense of humor and never met a stranger. In his 19th season, Jucobbi surrendered his soul on Sunday, August 21, 2011; and now he is present with the Lord. Family, as well as friends, will miss his quiet strength, smile and love, but will never forget his spirit and compassion. He lived life to the fullest, and there was never a dull moment when Jucobbi was around. Jucobbi was welcomed to his eternal home by his father who made his transition on Tuesday, May 3, 2011, and his grandparents Tyree and Isabella Balch.
