Alex was born in Lynwood, California, the oldest of four children. His family moved often for his dad’s work, but Kansas City is where Alex would always say he really grew up. That’s where he went to Boy Scout camp, fell in love with Chiefs football, and began to show the steadiness people would come to rely on. The family later moved to Homer, Nebraska, where Alex graduated from high school.

He attended the University of Nebraska–Lincoln and lived in Abel Hall (Abel 8, to be precise). College brought lifelong friends, plenty of stories, and at least one memorable incident involving Alex dropping a keg down several flights of stairs in the dorm. He earned his degree in biology from UNL and later returned to earn his teaching certificate after realizing he loved teaching as much as he loved science.

Alex spent 33 years teaching middle school science in Lincoln Public Schools before retiring in May 2021. All but one of those years were spent at Park Middle School. He had a way of taking hard concepts and making them click. His classroom was loud, hands-on, and full of laughter. Years later, former students still tell stories about how much they remember from his class and how much they loved having Mr. Deabler as their teacher.

While in Lincoln, Alex met the love of his life, Ronda. They married in the summer of 1988 and built a life together full of laughter, hard work, and raising a family. Alex could light up any room and was never far from a joke, often delivered just far enough over the line to earn a gentle smack on the arm from her. Together they welcomed four children into their family: Kelsey, Quentin, Chloe, and Carley. Though Carley passed at birth, she was always part of their story.

Nothing mattered more to Alex than his family. He quietly took care of the everyday things that kept a household running: cleaning, dishes, laundry, and all the little details no one else had to think about. He was always looking for small ways to save money for his family, content with wearing hand-me-downs, hanging clothes to dry, and making quiet sacrifices without ever calling attention to them.

He taught his kids to ride bikes and drive cars, made sure their vehicles had oil changes and emergency supplies, and stayed up late until everyone was safely home. You always knew he would be there.

Alex and Ronda believed learning didn’t stop when you left school. They camped all over the Rockies and made multiple trips to Yellowstone and Glacier. They explored cities like Kansas City, St. Louis, and Chicago with their kids in tow.

Later in life, they took that curiosity overseas, visiting England, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Argentina, and French Polynesia. London, in particular, became Alex’s favorite place in the world and felt like a second home to him. He loved riding the Tube, walking the streets, and having a pint at a local pub, especially when he could share it with his family.

At home, he was just as happy watching Chiefs football or working in his garden.

He is survived by his wife, Ronda; his children, Kelsey (Elizabeth), Quentin, and Chloe; his mother, Lynda Deabler; his sisters, Maria Timothy and Sandra Kotalik (Tom); his brother, Matthew Deabler (Amanda); his nephews, Benjamin Timothy and Samuel Deabler, and his nieces, Madeline and Isabelle Deabler. He was preceded in death by his father, Raymond Deabler, and his daughter, Carley Deabler.

A celebration of Alex’s life will be held from 4:30-8pm on February 6 at the Stables at Wyuka Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you stay curious and love your people well. Live like Alex.

Florine enjoyed landscaping and maintaining her home. Her home was showcased by The Lincoln Journal Star for its well-manicured lawn and the value it brought to the Clinton neighborhood.  Florine enjoyed playing cards and board games with her friends.

Herb was an easy-going, happy man who lived life with a calm, steady presence and a generous heart. Known for his quiet nature and go-with-the-flow attitude, Herb was the kind of person people felt comfortable around; kind, genuine, and always willing to be there when it mattered.

Herb’s kindness and generosity defined him, especially in the love and support he gave to his daughter, Cheri. Being there for her was one of the things he cared about most, and it showed in countless everyday moments that spoke louder than words ever could.

One of Herb’s proudest accomplishments was earning his GED later in life, after facing challenges in his younger years. It was a reflection of his quiet determination and perseverance; proof that he never gave up on himself.

In his younger years, Herb was more social and known for his sense of humor. He loved to make people laugh and tell stories; stories that often required a fact-check with his mom, but were always told with a twinkle in his eye. As the years went on, he became more reserved, a man of few words, but his warmth never faded.

Herb was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Faribault, Minnesota, and belonged to several organizations, including the NRA, the Legion Club, and the Masons. He found joy in simple pleasures, especially hunting, fishing, and spending time on the golf course.

Herb is survived by his daughter, Cheri Thomas; sister, Gloria Steinmeyer; brother-in-law, Don Steinmeyer; and grandsons, Brandon and Bryson Thomas.

He was preceded in death by his parents, E. Fern Schroeder (Pardee) and Frederick Schroeder; wife, Linda Joyce Schroeder; brother, Dwain Jones; and sister-in-law, Jackie Jones.

Herb will be remembered for his gentle spirit, his generosity, and the quiet way he showed his love. His presence will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved him.

December 16, 1937 – January 14, 2026

James A. “Jake” Jacobsen was born on December 16, 1937, in Omaha, Nebraska, to Einar A. (Al) Jacobsen and Leta Mae (Brungardt) Jacobsen. He passed away peacefully at home on January 14, 2026, surrounded by love, with his wife of 67 years, Sharon (Sharp) Jacobsen; his son, Jim (JJ) Jacobsen; and his loyal dog, Buddy, by his side.

Jim proudly served his country as a Navy Seabee in the late 1950s, stationed on Guam, where he helped build quarters and roads for incoming Navy personnel. In 1958, he returned home to Lincoln, Nebraska, where he built a long and dedicated career. After 40 years of service with the Lincoln Telephone Company, Jake retired in 1998.

Retirement suited him well, allowing time to enjoy the things he loved most; fishing, riding motorcycles, RV-ing in Arizona during the winters, golfing, and taking pride in driving his beloved 1975 Chevrolet Caprice Classic. After being diagnosed with prostate cancer, Jim selflessly participated in several clinical trial studies, hoping his involvement would help others facing the same illness. He was deeply proud of his service as a veteran and lived his life with quiet strength and generosity.

Jim was preceded in death by his parents; his brothers, Wally and Jerry; his sister, Shirley (Paul) Eisenbarth; and his parents-in-law, Lewis and Frances Sharp.

He is lovingly survived by his wife, Sharon; his son, James Jacobsen; his granddaughter, Hailee Jacobsen; his daughter-in-law, Billi Jacobsen; his brother-in-law, Vernon (Lola) Sharp; as well as several nieces, nephews, cousins, and their families.

The family would like to thank all friends and family who have expressed their condolences to Jimmy and Sharon at Jim’s passing. They also extend heartfelt gratitude to the Veterans Administration and St. Croix Hospice for the compassionate care provided to Jim in his home.

A celebration of Jim’s life will be held on March 20, 2026. Further details will be announced.

On May 26, 1947, George married Beverly Ann Rogers at her parents’ house. They raised two children, Georgeann and Michael Alan, and later doted on their two grandsons, Andy and Josh.

One of George and Bev’s greatest achievements was the building of their dream home in which George lived for over 65 years. After retirement, George and Bev traveled. They had an RV where they would go to Texas for the winters. They also loved to go to Colorado to visit Georgeann and Gary where they would stay at their Winter Park home – this was one of their favorite things to do.

George loved golf! As Mike grew old enough, he would have Mike accompany him to “caddy” while George played his regular 18 holes of golf. This was George’s way of teaching Mike the game of golf including proper golf etiquette. Later in life, he and Bev joined the Ashland Country Club where they spent almost every weekend. Along with this George would play every Thursday for Men’s night. It wasn’t unusual for him to play 27-36 holes.

George was a born salesman. Working for many different construction suppliers, he was known as an honest and upright man. In 1975, he and Bev started their own construction company, erecting pole barns and grain bins. He would sell the buildings and Mike would put them up.

After the death of Beverly in 2010, George and family friend Harriet Turner took dance lessons. They enjoyed dancing and would go as often as possible. As their friendship grew, they enjoyed traveling together to two of their favorite places, Nantucket Island and Ridgway Colorado.

In addition to his family, George loved his dogs. This passion was also shared with Georgeann and her love of dogs too.

George is survived by daughter and son-in-law, Georgeann and Gary Steffens of Colorado Springs; son and daughter-in-law, Michael and Brenda Weekly of Hickman; grandsons, Andy and Corrin Weekly of Hickman and Josh and Jaime Weekly of Firth along with 6 great grandchildren.

A private family graveside will be held.
