My friend, buddy and co worker for over 30 years .. A neighbor for so many years ..We both hired into the plant together back in the 70's and worked together in so many units and while you were in maintenance ...One of the most kindest Christian Brothers I have ever known ..We use to sit and talk about Gods Word out at work and the Lord .. Some of my most remembered moments ..You will be missed by me my brother ..But I will see you again soon on those streets of gold and we will rejoice once again

I never expected to hear that you would be gone Dear Brother, but know you are at peace in Heaven with Dad now talking about baseball and football games. I know you touched so many and will be missed by so many who loved you.

You have been a steadfast friend of ours for over 30 years, you’ve been a second dad to our daughters, and an example to our whole church of a completely committed humble servant of Christ. We will miss you every day until we see you again with our Lord.

Jesse touched everyone's life he met. He loved his family so much. He took care of his mother Lydia and Cheryl's mother Laura as they got older. He loved going on vacation and celebrating birthdays and holidays. He is resting in the arms of God.
