“Forever Loved, Never Forgotten”
The Navy Gold Star Program is eternally grateful for the sacrifice of those Service Members who have died in service to our country. To help us to never forget, we have set up this tribute page to honor and remember the memory of those lives. If you would like to honor the memory of your Sailor, Soldier, Marine, Airman or Coast Guardsman through the Navy Gold Star website please submit your thoughts and a photo.
Upon graduating boot camp Jacob attended NNPTC where he would spend time training as an Electricians Mate Nuclear. Once Jacob graduated from NNPTC he was assigned to his first duty station in San Diego, California aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN71), deploying through the South China Sea. Jacob completed his first and last deployment during 2021-2022. Jacob's life sadly ended while his ship was in DPIA and dry docked at Kitsap Naval Base in Bremerton, WA on 12/05/2022. Jacob enjoyed various video games and spent his Friday nights while in high school playing Dungeons and Dragons, and Magic the Gathering with his best buddies. Jacob had a beautiful gentle soul, willing to help anyone when needed. We love you, we miss you, and we think about you everyday. Love you Bud. Jacob Elliott Slocum, Forever 23
