Jesse loved making woodcrafts in his workshop, and loved yard work, and viewing God’s beauty.  He enjoyed sitting on the back porch with his neighbor friend, Berlin Heck, and with his dogs, Sophie and Emma.  His family and friends remember him as a sweet, kind, and gentle husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend.  He encouraged everyone and blessed all who come in contact with him whether it was in person or while conversing with his Facebook friends.

He was a witty individual who loved to make people laugh.  He loved the Lord and was passionate about reading his Bible every single morning.  Jesse was a member of the Broken Bow Church of Christ and Good News Fellowship Church.
