So sad to hear of this. I grew up with the Holt family on Jeffrey St. Although we were not close, I would run in to him at Tucker Hardware and loved our visits. Got to see his life through FB as we were friends on there. My prayers go out to his entire family and friends. Another good soul gone, but gone HOME, which is where we all long to be.

You were so easy to talk with. Kind, funny, the most awesome dad to your kids. It's hard to believe your gone. But in heaven, a much better place. Gone way too soon. I pray your family finds comfort in your memories.

I doubt Jesse really knew the positive impact he had on so many around him. He was a fine man and we are all better people for having known him.
Jess may have left us too soon, but his legacy will be felt for a long, long time.

The world has lost a one of a kind great man, father, and friend. I had the pleasure of knowing Jess on the field as a coach, and off the field as a fellow outdoorsman. He was a very special influence to me. My prayers and thoughts go out to his family. I'm gonna miss you buddy.

Jess was a dedicated coach that gave so much to a lot of young ladies who will miss him on the field! I know they will grow up playing hard to make him proud. He was a great competitor and will be truly missed by players coaches and parents.
