Updated Obituary - Raymond Nathaniel Jacobs

Raymond Nathaniel Jacobs, age 78 of Butler, Missouri died Saturday, July 4, 2020 in Butler. He was born June 6, 1942 to Mildred Willene Brown in Butler.

Raymond is survived by son, Christopher Jacobs (Rosa) of Butler, Missouri; three brothers, David Brown (Crystal), Kelvin Brown (Carolyn) and Mark Brown all of Butler, Missouri; two sisters, Bertha Williams (John) of Topeka, Kansas, Diane Brown of Kansas City, Missouri; and daughter-in-law, Anna Shobe of Butler, Missouri.

In practicing social distancing, we have a concern on the number of people who can gather in our Chapel. It is continuing to be difficult to bring our community together when a death occurs. Funerals are more than just ceremonies--they are avenues to bring family and friends together to support one another. 

If you know Raymond Jacobs, a card or phone call to his family would go a long way in remembering him. If you don't have family addresses, feel free to mail notes or cards to us at the Schowengerdt Funeral Chapel (1301 N. Orange St., Butler, MO 64730) and we will send to the family.
