Julian Jacobs and family

Keller Williams announced the sad news yesterday. He died on 1 May of a heart attack whilst at home and is survived by his wife Michelle and their two young children Joseph aged 12 and Lola aged 9.

Jacobs had been part of the senior leadership team at Keller Williams London Bridge for a year and supported Ali Harper, market centre director and Chris Buckler, operating principal.

Chris Buckler, operating principal at Keller Williams London Bridge, said: “Julian was adored by the agents that he worked with and so much so that he was known as ‘Uncle Jules’.

“The news of his passing so suddenly and at such a young age has devastated us all – it’s hard to come to terms with.”

A Just Giving appeal has been launched to help the family.

Buckler added: “Our hearts go out to Michelle and son Joseph and daughter Lola, both so young, and it’s with that in mind that I have set up a Just Giving page to raise much needed funds for them.

“Joseph’s bar mitzvah is in September and the aim is to raise £15,000 to pay for it.”

The Just Giving page can be found here and has currently reached £3,750.
