Thomas "Tom" Paul Jacobsen, 67,  passed away on June 16, 2018. Tom went to ASU for both undergrad and graduate school. He served his career as a Hospital Administrator, including at Chandler Regional Hospital (Chandler, AZ), Centinela Mammoth Hospital (Mammoth Lakes, CA), Desert Samaritan Hospital (Mesa, AZ) and at ASU’s Student Health Center. He also was a Consultant for both inpatient and outpatient facilities in operations, construction and accreditation as well as a Surveyor for the Accreditation for Ambulatory Health Care. Tom once found a particularly rewarding role in his career serving as Director of Development for Life Care Services at Friendship Village in Tempe, Arizona, where he had also served on the Board of Directors. Most sentimental and appropriate, Friendship Village is exactly where Tom was able to pass into eternal peace. He also served on the Board of Directors for the Child Crisis Center and was on the Arizona Citizen Review Panel for Children. Tom is survived by two children, two siblings, two grandsons and his life love and friend, Margi. There will be three private family services of memoriam and celebrations of Tom's life: Prescott, Arizona by his in-laws; Santa Fe, New Mexico by his parents; and on a ski boat at sunset in the canyons of Lake Powell. In lieu of flowers, those who wish may send a charitable donation in Tom's name to the Child Crisis Center in Mesa, Arizona and/or to 2nd Chance Dog Rescue in Queen Creek, Arizona. Condolences and positive sentiments of Tom may be submitted in a memory book to the Valley of the Sun Mortuary & Cemetery .  (Source: Arizona Republic)
