The West High School senior who passed away last week has been honored with a billboard tribute on Interstate 35.
18-year-old Jacob Bates was killed on Feb. 8 after a crash on I-35. DPS Sgt. Dave Roberts said he drove into the back of an 18-wheeler that was stopped in traffic.
A photo of Bates accompanied by the quote "Give God your weakness & he will give you his strength," can be seen near Slovacek's.
His funeral service is scheduled for Feb. 14 at 4 p.m. at the West High School Gymnasium.
