Charles Patrick Jaco, better known as Pat, The Canvas Man, "Ridin Fool" or even Sasquatch; passed away on March 30th in his Robbinsville, NC home surrounded by loved ones. Pat was born on November 30th, 1964.
He is survived by his mom Edna Clemons, wife Lisa Jaco, his daughters Tiffini Roberts (Daniel), Jessica Jaco (Matt Platts), his grandson Gabriel Lopez, his granddaughter Ariana Roberts, his brother Michael Jaco, his sister Melanie Bulkley, his nieces Jennifer Bulkley (Sase Ishwar) with her children Logan and Landon, and Vanessa Jenkins with her children Trevor and Nataleigh who saw him as PawPaw, his nephew Steven Bulkley (Sarah) with his daughter Tinlee and countless other friends and family members.
How do you put the memory of someone with such a huge personality into so few words? Pat knew no stranger and was always the first to offer a helping hand. He was always able to make you laugh, even on the darkest days, and was the king of dad jokes. He was a faithful servant of the Lord and the biggest kid around. He enjoyed spending time with his family and riding mountain trails with his friends in his Honda Side-by-Side group. He left us with the best memories and will be missed beyond measure.
Pat did not want a funeral and told us we better throw him a party. To honor his wishes, a private Celebration of Life cookout will be held at a later date.
Townson-Smith Funeral Home is honored to be serving the Jaco Family.
