Jacoby M. McKinney, 26, of Owensboro, passed away March 25, 2021, at Owensboro Regional Hospital. Jacoby was born June 10, 1994, to Lonnie McGill and Jennifer McKinney in Owensboro, KY. Jacoby was a presence when he walked in the room, but his stature was nothing compared to the size of his heart and personality. He was a graduate of Apollo High School and went on to work at US Bank in the mortgage department. A gamer through and through, Jacoby loved analog games like Dungeons and Dragons, retro videos games like Goldeneye, and more modern games like COD Warzone. Cardtable, console, or PC, he was always down for a game. Jacoby was also a sneakerhead and loved animals. Most of all, Jacoby loved his family and the time that he got to spend with them.
Jacoby was preceded in death by a grandmother, Dru Ann McKinney.
In addition to his parents, he is survived by his siblings, Glenda Wright, Erix Delgado, Tre’ Wright, and Zachary Douglas; uncles, James Howard, David McKinney, Mike Bartlett; grandmother, Sally Pearl Hamilton; aunts, Darlene Crowe, Stephanie McGill, and Shirley Worthen; surrogate parents Richard and Trenka Tingler; cousins Kenzie, Kirah, and Johnathan “Keegan” Howard; nieces and nephews, Mikah and Kylan Wright, Elysian Clark, Isaiah Alexander Douglas, Alexandria Marie Douglas, and Angelica Grace Douglas;, his canine companion, Kiba; and a large loving extended family.
