Jacob Israel Lisle

Jacob Israel Lisle was born on Aug. 10, 1979, at Utah Valley Hospital, fourth of seven children. He was born to Gary Lisle and Jackie Harrison in Utah, but spent most of his life in Montana.

He passed away of a heart attack on Sept. 16, 2025, at Cabinet Peaks Medical Center with his family at his side. Jacob, 46, spent most of his time in Libby, Montana, but also lived in Dillon, Darby, Billings, Cut Bank, Butte and Missoula. He worked at various jobs to provide for his family.

Jacob loved his family and friends dearly. He was especially close to his children and often said his children were who he lived for. He loved the woods, hunting, fishing, knives, guns and tools of every sort. Often he liked to recount his childhood stories, not all of which were appropriate, but as he said, “you live and you learn.”

Jacob is survived by his father Gary Lisle and step-mother Carol; his mother Jackie Harrison; his kids Acadia Morgen of Kalispell, Carson May of Joilet, Rylie Lisle of Libby and Tryp Lisle of Libby; his siblings Brian Lisle of Libby, Kiane Heritage of Missoula, Penny Lisle of Kalispell, Brittney Lorengo of Missoula, Katie Lisle of Missoula, and Michael Lisle of Watford City, North Dakota; plus numerous nephews, nieces and special friends. He will be remembered as a loving son, brother, father, uncle and friend.

His funeral will be at the LDS church in Libby, at 11 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 27, followed by a graveside service at the City of Libby Cemetery.
