Jesse faithfully attended the Kingdom Hall Jehovah’s Witnesses in Marshfield, Missouri. He was an outdoorsman; he enjoyed hunting deer and turkey; if he could be in the great outdoors that is where you’d find him, even if that meant he had to miss a wedding or two!
Jesse loved to fish, farm and listen to country music; he even played guitar in a band and produced his very own record. Spending time with his family was what he especially loved. He was a beloved dad, grandpa, great-grandpa, brother, uncle, neighbor and friend, we celebrate his life and all the memories he created.
On behalf of the family, please practice social distancing and wear a mask when attending services, it is greatly appreciated.
A memorial has been established to Integrity Hospice of Springfield, Missouri.
