Jace Skaggs of Lemoore, California, passed away, leaving a legacy of love, laughter, and unwavering devotion that will be remembered by all who were fortunate to know him. Jace was the cherished husband of Chelsea Skaggs, with whom he shared a beautiful life over the past ten years.
Together, they built a home filled with warmth, joy, and laughter—a home that also held the cherished presence of their daughter, Lakey, who was Jace’s pride and joy. Every day, he showed Lakey the depths of his love, guiding her with patience, kindness, and devotion.
He was the kind of father who made family life feel safe, joyful, and full of love, always putting his daughter’s happiness and well-being first. Beyond his immediate family, Jace was a devoted son, a protective brother, and a loyal friend and partner.
Those who knew him recall his kind heart, his humor, and his unwavering ability to lift the spirits of anyone in need. Jace had a rare gift for bringing people together, for making everyone feel seen and valued, and for being present in the lives of his loved ones in a way that left a lasting impression.
His laughter was contagious, his support unwavering, and his generosity knew no bounds. He had an extraordinary capacity to love and be loved, and his presence was a source of comfort and joy for family, friends, and community members alike.
The loss of Jace is deeply felt by everyone who knew him. While nothing can truly prepare anyone for the death of a loved one, the days and months ahead bring both emotional and practical challenges for Chelsea and Lakey.
To support them during this difficult time, a fundraiser has been established to help cover immediate needs while Chelsea grieves, cares for their daughter, and begins the difficult process of finding her footing again.
Every contribution provides essential support and a reminder that the community stands beside them, surrounding them with love, hope, and compassion. Jace’s life was defined not only by his love for his family but also by his generosity, his loyalty, and his ability to create joy in the lives of others.
