Jacob J Nyenhuis grew up on St. Simons Island, GA, and graduated with honors in 2006 from GlynnAcademy High School. He died in the fall of that year in a car accident while returning to the University of Georgia, where he was a freshman. He was 18.

Jacob was a young man with a clear vision for his future. He began buying and selling real estate at age 15. He planned to study real estate development in college and build his own development company.

God gave him the spirit of an entrepreneur and also a heart of compassion. He cared deeply for his family and friends and planned to support them as his business grew. Trips to Africa and South America softened his heart to the needs of the world’s poor. He planned to use his business ventures to generate resources to support them as well.
