Together, with the Daily Family and our local Agriculture Industry, the Yuma Fresh Vegetable Association honors Jacob Louis Daily by giving back to deserving students to fulfill their higher education goals. Jacob Daily loved life and had a smile that lit up the room. Jake worked for Pasquinelli Produce as an entomologist and although he was the youngest in his job, he earned the respect and friendship of his colleagues and was often teased about being the bosses’ favorite employee. In order to communicate with many of his coworkers, Jake taught himself how to speak Spanish. He often covered work assignments for coworkers so they could get home to their families. He was an extremely hard worker and through his dedication he worked his way up into a great job position for such a young age. Jacob passed away in March 2009 from injuries sustained from a work-related truck accident. He had just turned 24 and his family made the decision to donate his organs. He died a hero as he was able to give the gift of life and save many people. This Jacob Daily Memorial Scholarship was created to honor the special person that he was and the impact that he made on the Ag community.
