Racine – Sadly, our Jacob Ryan Halliday, age 37, passed away peacefully at Ascension Columbia Saint Mary’s Hospital in Milwaukee, surrounded by the love of family, on Monday evening, October 23, 2023 due to complications of a stroke.
Jacob was born in Racine on August 27, 1986 and was a 2004 graduate of Union Grove High School. Happiest when near the water, Jacob was employed as a manager of Pugh Marina, a position he truly enjoyed.
Always wanting to be outside, Jacob could often be found boating, fishing, archery, kayaking, on his Harley, and hanging out with his canine companion Rottweiler, “Rojo”. Above all, Jacob loved spending time with his family and extensive circle of friends.
Surviving are his devastated parents: mom & step-dad, Kathryn (nee: McMahon) & Delbert Jensen; dad & step-mom, William R. & Carol Halliday; sister, Crystal (Mathew Jackson) Halliday-Jackson; adored niece, Savannah Jackson; grandma, Joan McMahon; aunts & uncles, Debbie (Mark) VanWie, Todd (Karen) McMahon, David (Sheri) Halliday and Mary Beth (Kip) Steinhardt; cousins, Kyle (Kristina) Devore & Ryan (Jillian) Devore, Paige & Erin McMahon, Jeremy & Kyle (Pati) Halliday; other relatives and many, many special friends – too numerous to mention all by name. Jacob was preceded in death by his grandpa, Donald McMahon; and grandpa & grandma, William D. & Helen Halliday.
