Anything we did with Uncle Jess,whether it was camping, a reunion or just sitting in the living room, I remember always feeling loved. His happiness and joy was infectious. My deepest sympathy for my cousins who have lost a Daddy and an incredible man of faith. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sadness. I pray it is temporary with the knowledge that we will see him again someday when our Lord calls us home. Love always, Paula

Jess & Barbara, married 68 years, raised six children in Snohomish, WA, before moving to Rochester in 2001. He is reunited with his beloved Barbara, who preceded him in death November 24, 2020.
Jess was a blessing. Everyone the Lord led across his path would attest to his godly character. He was hospitable, generous, dependable, loyal, & wise. Strangers were only friends he hadn't met.
Jess left behind a beautiful legacy; sons, Les (Coleen), Dave (Kathleen), Dan (Ronnda); daughters, Loretta (Launi Forar), Leona (Dale Van Ry); daughter-in-law Kim (wife of son Stan, deceased); 68 grands; sisters Lois & Mary.
