Jesse Hinnant Suitt

Uncle Jesse and Aunt Ruth were such an important part of my childhood and I continued to be amazed as an adult at how wonderful they were. Uncle Jess always kept me laughing as a child and I have so many fond memories of visiting Kinston. I feel blessed my children got to know him also and experience his humor, knowledge, and fantastic laugh. We all love him and will miss him but I know he is at peace with Aunt Ruth now. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of those who loved him.

MAY THE THOUGHT OF KNOWING THAT FAMILY AND FRIENDS SHARE IN YOUR GRIEF BRING YOU A MEASURE OF COMFORT.PLEASE READ PROV 17:17

Jesse's humor, generosity and love of food (he used to say a pig and a chicken don't stand a chance in these parts) will be sorely missed. When we were kids, he was our introduction to blues, folk and bluegrass music. North Carolina just won't be the same without his jokes and songs.

Rest in peace, Jesse. You and Ruth made Kinston feel like home.

Hinnant was an outstanding football player at Oxford High. He was captain of an Air Force football team when he served in the military. My brother Tom Ragland & Hinnant were best friends. All that knew him will miss his intelligence & wit.

I feel so blessed to have had Jesse Suitt in my life for fifty plus years. He was always so loving and kind and so much fun I have so many wonderful memories of our times together. He will be missed

We all cherish the memory of Jesse Suitt at Coventry House Senior Living. He made many friends here and he was loved by staff and residents alike. He was a fun-loving man and we will miss him dearly.
