Jacovo was born September 10, 1957 in San Antonio de los Bravos, Coahuila, Mexico to Rodrigo and Ilialia. He was raised by his paternal aunt, Nicholasa Ortega and her husband Francisco Ortega in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. He enjoyed long walks and riding his bicycle through the streets of Clovis. He found great joy and satisfaction in gardening and mowing the lawns of family and friends. He was well known at Clovis Recycling where he was fond of spending time with his friends. Jacovo found great pleasure in listening to music from several artists, especially John Lennon, Los Freddys, Los Terricolas, and Rigo Tovar, to name a few. He was also a talented handy man; he relished working on cars and teaching his sons. He adored dancing and spending time with friends and family. He had a special touch in cooking chilaquiles and ceviche, some of his family's favorites. He spent several years in California, where he fell in love with the ocean. He also loved taking his young children to the many parks there and sharing his love of the outdoors.
