Jesse Wolfe Obituary

Published by Legacy on Nov. 4, 2025.
Jesse Lee Wolfe Jr., 72, of Chuckey, Tennessee, passed away at his home on Tuesday, October 28, 2025.
Born on February 7, 1953, Jesse was a man of many skills and passions. He had a long career in steel construction, a trade that left a lasting impact on the region. His craftsmanship and expertise are notably showcased in the construction of several thrill rides at Dollywood, which continue to bring joy to millions.
Jesse had an adventurous spirit and a deep love for the outdoors. He was an avid bass fisherman and hunter, finding peace and excitement in nature. His energy also extended to the worlds of Motocross and Karate. Above all, he was a devoted companion to his beloved German Shepherds, Judge, Jake and Doc.
He is preceded in death by his father, Jesse "Jimmy" Wolfe Sr., and his sister, Fritzi Wolfe Davis.
Jesse leaves behind a loving family to cherish his memory, including his mother, Janie White; his three daughters, Sara Vengurlekar, Heather Wolfe, and Niki Benton; his adoring grandchildren, Ethan and Ansley Vengurlekar, and Jaxson Wolfe; and his siblings, Darlene Feezell, Robbin Jarnagin, Kim Wolfe, and Travis Wolfe.
Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
