Duncan Wood Jacober, aged 71, departed for his next adventure on April 12, 2023.
Wood loved plants and animals. His backyard was a haven for birds, bats, and
squirrels. Nearly every weekend Wood was in the high country climbing, skiing, or
fishing. Wood was one of six siblings of the late Gordon Jacober and Helen
Whetstone Jacober. He lived in Denver all his life. Wood operated Bent Pine
Landscaping installing sprinkler systems.

Life, the slow art of dying
Reborn as compost
Woody was a great friend! We met in the 4th grade did litlle league bball, soccer, Boy Scouts and climbing (I was not in his league). High school, Fort Lewis and CSU.
Woody started Bent Pine landscape out of the back of his VW bug. We worked large projects together at Valley Crest. He was a wonderful person and will be missed. I’m hoping he’s found a nice river in the bright sun where the mayflies a hatching and the trout are rising.
If you wish to contribute in his name maybe try Trout Unlimited. He was a lifetime member.
Woody was a good man, a gentleman and a good friend. He was definitely a friend to the earth. Some might say he was a bit of a curmudgeon at times, however he had a kind and gentle heart. I know this because he was always there to help me out when asked, and I asked for his help quite a few times.
Over the years Woody taught me quite a bit about hiking, backpacking, irrigation systems, picking mushrooms in the high country, and how to make a killer chili rellenos, and I taught him a few things about fly fishing. I always felt guilty about getting the better end of that deal until hearing his characteristic laughter and excitement when hooking into a nice rainbow. You will be sorely my friend.
