Jesse was such a devoted loving Christian man. He brighten my day each time he came into the tag office. I am very blessed to have had the honor making his aquaintance. He taught me more about the Bible than anyone I know. He was funny and kind. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. I will never forget his smiling face and the lessons he taught me. Thank you for the last memory that I have of him. He was teaching my son verses from the Bible after he had been saved.Jesse will truely be missed, but I know he is where he wants to be.
