So sad to read of John's passing. Knew John from my years at AK Steel. Please accept my sympathy.

Donna, Erin, Chris and families, I am so sorry for your loss. My family has such fond memories of John as Ryan, Erin, Chris, and Justin grew up in the Madison Township community. We loved meeting at the ballpark, or at theatre events, or looking at all the animals on the little farm where he and Donna raised their kids. Ron and I saw him recently at the doctor's office and he looked good. May he rest in peace now, and all of you be peaceful in the joy and love he brought you.

The earliest memory I have of the Jessee family is when LeRoy, Mary, David & John fished for bass in the pond on our farm. Both of our families were active in the Blueball Presbyterian Church & enjoyed activities together. Good memories!
RIP John.
