Publish in a newspaper
He was an operating engineer for Kinsey Excavating in New Philadelphia. He was a Veteran of the Army Reserves and a member of the First Church of the Nazarene in New Philadelphia. Jesse was active in his church where he enjoyed singing with various groups at the church and also volunteered with other church members in building wheelchair ramps in the community. Jesse and his family served as care takers at Camp Sharon in Wadsworth for 11 years and he continued to volunteer his time at the camp through this past summer. He was a handy man, jack of all trades and a master of all.
Jesse was not only a talented and hardworking individual but also a devoted family man, finding immense joy in spending time with his wife, children and grandchildren. His love for them was immeasurable, and his legacy of faith, dedication, and hard work will live on in their lives.
He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Tammy (Hartline), whom he married May 4, 1984. Also survived by 3 children Lucas (Chelsea) Conkey of Sherrodsville, Brianne (Ryan) Sullivan of Orrville and Seth Conkey of Strasburg; 7 grandchildren Emma, Kate, John, Beau, Finn, Stella and Cooper; 1 sister Beth (Chuck) Nutt of Clinton, Mississippi and 4 brothers Dan (Nancy) Conkey of Copley, Steve (Lori) Conkey of Sandusky, Tim (Martha) Conkey of Carrollton and Joel (Kris) Conkey of Canton.
