Jessica Dukes Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Jessica Erin Dukes 5/4/1998 - 11/18/2021
Jessica recently passed away suddenly at the age of 23 from a tragic car accident.
A lifelong resident of the lowcountry, she is survived by her mother and stepfather, Tiffany Dukes and Joe Courchaine, father Michael Dukes and brothers Brett Michael Dukes and Matthew Dukes, as well as her two sons and their father Jon Michael Elliott, Jaxon Ryder Elliott, and Johnny Elliott.
She is predeceased by her maternal grandmother Kathryn Dianne Craven and her paternal grandparents Milton and Lillian Dukes.
Jessica was a student with a passion for success. She was also a young mother of two amazing boys. Her drive and motivation to be self sufficient and independent led her to always be on the lookout for more knowledge and better employment. Witty, sarcastic and beautiful, Jessica's smile would force you to smile yourself. Her presence in this world will be greatly missed. Her friends and family are better for having known her.
Family and friends will be received for a memorial to be held Monday, November 29th 2021 for two hours starting at 11:00am.
Memorial to be held at:
Simplicity Lowcountry (843) 353-0523
281 Treeland Dr.
Ladson SC 29456
