Jacob “Jake” Aaron Crisp, 20, of Calhoun, passed away on Wednesday, April 28, 2021.
He was born on March 5, 2001, to Ronald Crisp and Angela Green Davis.
Jacob was a lifelong resident of this area. He enjoyed video games, hunting, fishing and being on the river with his fur baby “Buck,” whom he loved very much.
Jake was everyone’s best friend. He was known for his charm, infectious smile, and heartwarming hugs. He was the “get up and go” type always down for adventure. He never met a stranger.
He was preceded in death by his father, Ronald J. Crisp; and his grandfather, James Green.

Local Ellis County resident Allison Clark is on a mission to preserve the Johnson-Yates strain of the Colonial Spanish mustang, with only 10 left from that strain and 1,600 left of the Colonial Spanish in the world.
Clark has been on this journey for over eight years, but her love for horses began when she was 14.
Clark s Horse History When I was 14 years old, my mom took me to a farm called Karma farms located in Marshall, Texas, owned by a lady named Vickie Ives to pick out my first horse, Clark shared. All the horses were colonial Spanish mustangs. That day, Vickie had a few different horses for me to choose from. I rode each one of them. But there was one in particular that stood out to me. She was a mare named Bucks Girl; she was a 100 percent from the Johnson-Yates bloodline. Her color was so unique, and riding her was like the most incredible feeling. I knew she was different. So I took her home to Red Oak.
