He was a graduate of Winyah High School. He was a member of the Army National Guard for 6 years and a graduate of Columbia Commercial College. He also attended Coastal Carolina College. Claude worked as a successful insurance salesman and spent a few years in the car business. He was a longtime member of Arsenal Hill Presbyterian Church, in Columbia, SC, serving as a deacon, and a recent member of Cornerstone Presbyterian Church. Claude enjoyed many years of service in the Dutch Fork Optimist Club where he served a time as President. Claude Jacobs was an avid golfer, a great joke teller, who enjoyed the love of his family and countless friends. He is survived by his wife of 50 wonderful years, Patsy Tilton Jacobs and his two sons, Rev. Jeff (Madeline) and Jason (Sasha), both living in Lakeland, FL, and 5 grandkids, Grace, Lillian, Copeland, Sarah, and London. Finally, Claude fancied himself something of a philosopher. Included in his most recent cache of wisdom is the following quote..."I love my wife, I love my kids, and I love the Lord...I just hope he can forgive me for the things I said on the golf course."
