After learning of his passing Ravens coach John Harbaugh released a statement.

“I loved Jacoby Jones, we all did,” he began, per KPRC 2. “His spirit enthusiasm and love for people were powerful. He was a light. He was the cherished son of his loving mom, Ms. Emily. They were so close. He was a man of faith.”

“My favorite Jacoby personal moment was every time I saw his smiling face full of joy. Rest in peace, Jacoby, in the arms of Jesus,” Harbaugh added before revealing his favorite football play, which was “when Jacoby was talking to his mom in the end zone, just before a late-game kickoff return against the Vikings in a snowstorm shootout.”

“Jacoby then raced to catch the ball and run it back for a touchdown,” he recalled.

Owner Of The Beaumont Renegades Comments On Jacoby Jones’s Sudden Death

Earlier this year, Jones was appointed as the head coach and offensive coordinator for the Beaumont Renegades, an indoor football team.

“He was the best, he loved everyone,” Sam Gordon, owner of the Beaumont Renegades, told KPRC 2. “I think one of the most important things is he was a man of God. He was proud of how much he loved and feared his God. What was most important to him after football was helping the next person in line. He was the most humble and kind person to anybody who gave him the time and needed the time from him.”

“Jacoby was a special football player,” the Beaumont Renegades said in a statement. “He loved every minute of every game, and he knew that every day was a blessing. But what can be said about Jacoby the football player only scratches the surface of who he was as a man. When you needed someone, he was there. When you called, he answered. When you texted, he responded. It didn’t matter if you were a family member, a close friend, a former coach or teammate, a player he coached.”

Ravens Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis also broke his silence with a social media post. “My brother, you will truly be missed,” he said. “They can’t take the memories and the hard work you put in on and off the football field. You always gave back and were always a pillar in the community, a Raven for life. Love ya JJ.”
