Dear Juanita,
Several days ago I was browsing through an old issue of the Kidron News and was shocked to read of Jesse's passing. I am so very, very sorry and saddened to learn of your loss. I have lost touch and didn't know where you were living. I am thankful to have found this site so I could reach you. Please know that I will be continuing to remember you and your children. I pray that God would remain close and that He would reveal Himself to you in exactly the way that you need most at this difficult time.
Love & Prayers,

Dear Juanita,
I am so sorry to hear of Jesse's passing. I know from my own experience how difficult that is with a young family. You all are in my prayers, that you will experience God's everlasting arms lovingly carry you.
I'd love to hear from you when you are ready.
Your former OH neighbor.

I just heard of Jesse's passing this week, and discovered this website today. I had met Jesse professionally through our local ASHRAE chapter meetings. From those meetings I was left with a perception of Jesse as a very calm and kind person. I was saddened by his story, as I learned he left behind a young family. That hit very close to home, and caused me to consider my own life. I'm pleased to read of the various testimonies to his faith, and his participation in church. I share the hope that this life is just a breath in comparison to the eternity that follows. I also share the hope that by the death of Christ we can be freed from our sins, and that by His life our covenant with God is fulfilled and we can enjoy the blessing of life with God forever. If Jesse's like me, I'm sure he would want his loved ones to hold on to these facts by faith and therefore to join him in Heaven. No doubt the pain of your loss is great. Take heart that Jesse has overcome and that we will too if we persevere. If you need anything, as a Christian brother, I'm happy to extend a hand. I pray the Comforter will attend to your hearts and that you will sense His presence in a special way.

Juanita, We are so sorry to hear of your loss. A memory of your wedding is the trumpet calling the bridesmaids from various directions, each with her lamp. So neat. And we remember Jesse being talented musically. God's peace and comfort to you and your family.

Juanita and family,
We are sorry for the loss of Jesse. We enjoyed having Jesse on the Gospel Echoes Team with us in 1983 - 84. There were many good times of ministering together and his sense of humor always had us chuckling. Our prayers are with you.

My last memory of Jessie was at the church alter as he ministered to a young boy that was tender in the Lord Jesus. What a man of God.
