Jesse Wayne Danner

March 1, 1983 – October 28, 2025 

It is with deep sadness that the family of Jesse Wayne Danner announces his unexpected passing on October 28, 2025, at the age of 42. The family is deeply heartbroken and shocked by his sudden loss. 

Jesse was one of a kind. He was loyal, strong-willed, and full of life. You always knew when Jesse was around. His laughter, energy, and way of lighting up a room made him unforgettable to everyone who knew him. He had a big heart and cared deeply for his family and friends. 

He was a devoted father who leaves behind a lasting legacy through his three beautiful and loving children: Kaleb Timothy J. Danner (19), Michael Scott Danner (11), and Chloe Rose Danner-Glenn (9), as well as his beloved grandson, Jesse William Mulderink, who carries on his name and spirit. His children and grandson are his greatest source of pride. 

Jesse took great pride in his work and in being a positive example for his kids. He worked at Jimmy John’s for the past five years, where he was proud to work alongside his oldest son, Kaleb, helping guide him through the hiring process and sharing in his accomplishments. Before that, Jesse worked in landscaping, where he enjoyed the satisfaction of hard work and being outdoors. 

Jesse was preceded in death by his parents, Heidi (Bambi) Gamble-Danner and Robert Joseph Danner; his paternal grandparents, RaeAnn Danner and Wayne (Rudy) Danner; and his maternal grandparents, Bill and Penny Gamble. 

He is survived by his brother, Christopher Robert Danner (Michelle), along with many other family members and friends, including aunts, uncles, and cousins, who will forever cherish his memory. 

Due to the size of Jesse’s loving and extended family, this obituary has been condensed. Please know that each and every one of you held a special place in his heart. 

Those who knew Jesse will remember his loyalty, humor, and the way his presence filled every space he entered. He lived life with intensity and heart, and his spirit will continue to live on through his children, grandson, and all who loved him. 

A Celebration of Jesse’s Life is currently being planned. Details will be shared with family and friends once the date and location are set. 

Rest easy, Jesse. You will never be forgotten
