Weymouth native Capt. Eric Peter Jacobsen went down with his Seattle-based fishing vessel Sunday off the coast of the Aleutian Islands in Alaska.
Jacobsen and three crew members died of hypothermia; 42 other men aboard the Alaska Ranger were rescued.

This was my Uncle that I never had a chance to meet. My name is Scott Eric Jacobsen, Peter was my fathers brother. My fathers name was Hans Kristian Jacobsen. My prayers go out to the rest of the family. I'm very sorry for this tragic loss. It makes me proud to carry the name Jacobsen. Everyone should be very proud of the act of heroism that my uncle Peter showed. Jesus said: "There is no greater love than this that a man lay down his life for his friends."
