Patrick’s Services — 2 PM Saturday
Patrick Jacobs, a North Idaho blogger and bartender who previously wrote for The Spokesman-Review’s Handle Extra section, died this weekend after experiencing a “cardiac event” on Friday. Jacobs, 42, reviewed fine dining and dives and North Idaho’s nightlife in a column called “Get Out!” from 2007 to 2011. After the Handle Extra section was discontinued in 2011, he continued reviewing restaurants, as well as fashion and nightlife, on his own Get Out! North Idaho blog. He also worked as a bartender at Mik’s in Coeur d’Alene. Jacobs was a prolific commenter on the Spokesman-Review’s Huckleberries Online blog, using the name OrangeTV. ... Jacobs’ cousin Tracy Green said services are scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday at Trinity Lutheran Church in Coeur d’Alene. He is survived by his father, mother and stepfather/Addy Hatch, SR. More here.
