Jesse’s favorite thing to do was work on his blue Ford truck with its big chrome wheels, ride around Florence listening to music, and meet new friends at truck shows. He loved all animals, playing video games, fishing, ping pong, and hanging out with friends at McFarland Park. Jesse was a free spirit and filled every room he entered with laughter and joy. He was a loving and caring son, brother, and friend. Jesse lived his 18 years freely and fearlessly. He will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Lauderdale County Animal Shelter, 3240 Roberson Rd, Florence, Al. 35630.
