Jesse M. Petty

Jesse will be missed but never forgotten

I am truly at a loss what to say other than I am so very deeply sorry for the loss of Jesse. May God's Blessing be upon all of his family during this unfortunate time and may you all find comfort in the memories of better times.

My husband and Jesse went through the apprenticeship program together. He would come over to study group at our house once a week. I was always amazed at the amount of food he could eat! (They all could put away some serious dinners) He watched our kids grow up and they have great memories with him. He always took time to play around with them any time he was here. He was incredibly smart and learned his trade with such ease. I heard many of the guys say it just came so natural to him. He...

Jesse was a great neighbor and a great friend. Always had a smile on his face and a great sense of humor. Any time I needed help he was always willing to give me a hand. We recently joked about him rescuing Eric out of the pond behind the house not once but twice. He will be missed and remembered fondly.

Jesse will be missed. We did not see a lot of him over the past year but he was a good friend and neighbor. He will truly be missed.

Jesse was one of my favorite fellow apprentice classmates. I met him when he was 19 as a first year. Just too sad and not right. Please don't hesitate if you can think of some way I could help now or later.
