Mikki Meadows, associate professor in the family and consumer sciences department, was Bough's aunt.
"Jacob was smart and funny," Meadows said. "He had such a variety of interests. Whenever our family was gathering I especially looked forward to seeing Jake and catching up with him. He was one of my favorite people, and I will miss him very much."
Bough was also the grandson of Johnny Bough, who worked as the press manager in the Eastern Journalism Department until 2003.
Bough won the John David Reed Journalism Scholarship in 2005.
