It is with deep sorrow and much love that we announce the passing of Lance P. Jacobson, who departed this life on Thursday, June 18, 2026, at the age of 70. A beloved resident of Hanover Park, IL for over 40 years, Lance found great joy and peace on the water—spending time on many lakes, but especially at the Chain O’Lakes, where he cherished moments with family and friends. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend.
He is survived by his devoted wife, Lilu, and was preceded in death by his wife, Janet. He is lovingly remembered by the children he shared with Janet: Brian (Tammy), Brad (Jennifer), Justin (Charlene), and Jason (Jocelyn). He was a proud grandfather to four beautiful grandchildren—Braden, Aurora, Bentley, and Camden—who brought immense joy and pride to his life. He is also survived by his stepson, Jay.
He is also survived by his siblings, Barry (Cathy), Kim, and Kirk (preceded in death by his wife, Connie), along with numerous nieces and nephews, all of whom had the pleasure of knowing him as their treasured Uncle Lance. Lance was preceded in death by his parents, Donald and Josephine, who now welcome him into their embrace.
Lance's life will be celebrated with a visitation on Friday, June 26th, 2026, from 3:00 pm to 9:00 pm at Countryside Funeral Home and Crematory, 333 South Roselle Rd., Roselle.
The funeral service will take place at the same location on Saturday, June 27th, 2026, at 10:30 am. Following the service, Lance will be laid to rest at St. Adalbert Cemetery in Niles, Illinois.
Lance will be fondly remembered for his unwavering dedication to his family, his commitment to helping others, and his ability to bring laughter to everyone he met. His spirit will continue to live on in the cherished memories of those who knew and loved him.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Countryside Funeral Homes & Crematory of Roselle. Friends and family are invited to attend and celebrate an extraordinary man and legacy he leaves behind.
