Jacob Arron Ledesma, lovingly known as "Peanut" by family and friends, passed away on July 19, 2025.

Born in Altus, Oklahoma, Jacob was a proud and devoted father whose greatest joy in life was his children. He was not only their rock, but their hero—a constant, loving presence who worked tirelessly to give them the life they deserved. He poured his heart into raising them with strength, kindness, and love.

Jacob was known for his strong work ethic and dedication. He spent many years working on the pipeline, often side by side with his brother Brandon, building a legacy of hard work and loyalty. He made it a point to want to take on many tasks, he had a natural curiosity for work and the drive to master it all. Whether someone needed a hand or just a laugh, Jacob was always the first to show up and help, no questions asked. Outside of work, Jacob was a gifted artist whose creativity shone through his drawings and tattoo work. He found peace and passion in his art, music, and fishing.

More than anything, Jacob was a family man. He never met a stranger and had a rare ability to make everyone feel welcomed and loved. His presence lit up every room, and his laughter and generosity left a lasting impression on all who knew him.

He is preceded in death by his paternal grandmother, Rosa Martinez; maternal grandmother, Edna Crist; 2 uncles, Paul and Joe Ledesma and one great uncle, Tony Revilla.

Jacob is survived by his children, Sarah Ledesma, Abel Ledesma, Avery Ledesma, and Oaklen Ledesma, all of Foss, OK; his parents, Raul Ledesma and wife, Jennifer, Oklahoma City, OK, Tina Evans and husband, Bruce, Blair, OK; 2 brothers, Brandon Ledesma and wife, Sara and Skyler Ledesma; 2 sisters, Gabrielle Veras and husband, Enrique and Trinity Olivas and husband, Isaiah; 4 uncles, Ringo Ledesma and wife, Sofia, Quentin Richie and wife, Melissa Kenny Simmons and wife, Nancy, Kevin Simmons and wife Delores, and a host of other relatives and friends.

He was deeply loved and will be forever missed by his children, family, and the countless friends whose lives he touched.
