My condolences and prayers are with you. I\u2019ve heard it said \u201c That when a great man dies, it\u2019s like a great and wonderful Library burning\u201d and with Jesse\u2019s passing it\u2019s doubly true!

Jesse was a great christan man, We all share his loss. I grew up with Jesse. He was two years older than me. I attended school with him at Rayville and Excelsior Springs High. He graduated 2 years ahead of me. When I was a young boy growing up in Rayville , Jesse lived north of Rayville on a farm. Me and my brothers would walk to his home on Rocky Fork and play in a big barn full of hay and make lots of tunnels. Lots of good memories. God Bless You Jesse, rest in peace.

Jesse was a great inspiration for me when I first met him as the basketball coach of 8th grade at Lewis School.
\nAs I was a junior, he showed the junior’s how to run a pass pattern and I was the cornerback. He was so quick I just guessed his route and he still beat me. OK, he beat me bad (but he had a high school quarterback throwing the ball).
\nHe had to practically stop to get the ball as I grabbed both arms and the ball hit him in the face.
\nAs only Jesse could, he shook it off and said “Nance did the right thing”.
\nHe was a great coach and scout of other teams. He taught all of us with enthusiasm. And on top of that he was a great friend.
\nMy only regret is not visiting him in the past year, to thank him and hear his “story”.
\nGod Bless Jesse and Family,
\nBob Nance<\/p>\n

I enjoyed my history class. I remember our discussion on communism and other lessons. He made it interesting. He made history relevant in life. Maybe why as an elementary teacher I made sure I taught history in class.
