“Mr. Jacob Alexander Flickinger died April 1, 2024, at 33 years old in Gaza while delivering humanitarian food aid with the World Central Kitchen. He was killed along with 6 other WCK teammates who made the ultimate sacrifice in their mission to bring aid, hope, and comfort to the most vulnerable.
Jacob was a native of St. Georges, Quebec and a proud Canadian Armed Forces veteran who served in Afghanistan. He was a loving son to his mother, Sylvia Labrecque, and father, John Alexander Flickinger. He was a devoted companion to his life partner. Sandy Leclerc, a proud, loving father to his baby son, Jasper, and very close to his stepfather, Stephen Leclerc. He is survived by an extended family of many aunts, uncles, cousins, from Quebec and Florida as well as many loving friends from all over the world.
Jacob died doing what he loved while serving others in need. He was a fearless warrior who didn’t hesitate to run toward danger to help others.
He loved his work with WCK as it married his military skills with his desire to serve as well as his adventurous spirit and love of travel and learning about other people and cultures. He valued his friendships deeply and was a loyal, trusted friend to many. He had an adventurous spirit and loved hunting, rock climbing, repelling, hiking, camping, and more. As a skilled military vet, he enjoyed using his knowledge and training to help others achieve their best selves or “peak performance,” as he would put it. He worked as a personal trainer, life coach, mentor, survival guide, and more.
He was especially interested in working with and serving the military veterans.
Jacob valued family above all and had only recently started a family of his own with Sandy, whom he loved and cared for deeply. They had many plans, hopes and dreams together that will live on through Ms. Leclerc, their son, Jasper, and his mother and father.
