Whiteville, NC — On Monday, April 6, the Columbus County Board of Commissioners held a special presentation to honor the life and enduring legacy of Elton Ray Jacobs.
The board presented a commemorative plaque to his wife, Ellen Jacobs, recognizing Mr. Ray’s years of dedicated service as the Fire Chief of Buckhead Fire and Rescue. The ceremony served as a formal tribute to a leader whose impact resonated deeply throughout the community.
Known as a leader who led by example, Chief Jacobs was a figure of trust and action. His commitment to the safety and well-being of Columbus County residents was defined by his willingness to show up when it mattered most, giving both his time and his heart to his neighbors.
The legacy of service and sacrifice left behind by Chief Jacobs continues to be felt across the region. Our thoughts remain with the Jacobs family as the community reflects on the life of a man who gave so much to the people he served.
Rest easy, Chief Jacobs. Your service will always be remembered.
