Jessie Lee Crosslin, Jr., age 71, of Shelbyville, Tennessee, passed peacefully from this life on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, at Murci Assisted Living in Antioch, Tennessee.
Born on October 23, 1954, in Lewisburg, Tennessee, Jessie was the son of the late Jessie Crosslin, Sr. and Dorothy McClarian Crosslin.
He is lovingly remembered by his children, Tammy (David) Cresong and John Robert Crosslin, both of Shelbyville; his granddaughter, Rhonda Vincion; along with several half-siblings.
Jessie found joy in cheering for University of Tennessee football, sharing meals of his favorite foods-barbecue, chicken, and pecan pie-and spending time with his family.
In keeping with his wishes, Jessie chose cremation, and no public services will be held.
Doak-Howell Funeral Home is serving the family.
