Jacob E. Keiser

Jacob (Jake) Evert Keiser entered his eternal home with his Savior on Wednesday, July 1, 2026. The love Jacob had for Jesus radiated in how he intentionally loved his wife, family, friends, and each person he met. Jacob never met a stranger; he was a fast friend to all.

Jacob is deeply loved by his wife, Emma (Lown) Keiser. They loved worshipping and serving Jesus together through their marriage and at their home church, Mission Church in Lancaster. Jacob spent his life faithfully serving in his home, at work, and through ministry opportunities. He seized every opportunity to pour his life into others. Jacob served in Youth with a Mission (YWAM), Awana, youth ministry, LCBC Kids, and Mission Church Food Pantry.

Jacob was born in Doylestown and raised in Lancaster county where he grew up faithfully attending Hope Community Church.

Jacob always cherished family time. From football in the yard to his mom's cookies, board games, and the annual Keiser ornament decorating competition, Jacob was truly family oriented.

As a natural born hard worker, Jacob was a dedicated and talented carpenter at Sight & Sound. In his free time, Jacob could be found playing with his and Emma's beloved puppy Bentley, participating in anything sports related, working on a new house or yard project, or playing pickleball with his in-laws, whom he loved dearly.

Jacob is fiercely loved by many, including his parents David and Suzanne Keiser along with his three siblings: sister, Julia (Keiser) Beiler, her husband Andrew Beiler, and their sons Isaiah and Luke, sister Naomi Keiser, and brother Nate Keiser.

Jacob will be remembered as a grace-filled husband, supportive brother, intentional friend, loving son and son-in-law, and one of the Eagles biggest fans, but above all else, he will be remembered as a faithful follower of Jesus Christ, his Savior. He loved Jesus!

1 Timothy 6:12 "Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses."
