Jesse F. Jester IV

Former Palmer resident Jesse F. Jester, 46, died Aug. 7 2010, while residing in Tarpon Springs, Fla.

Jesse was born Oct. 22, 1963, to Jesse and Suzann Jester in Pleasanton, Texas. This is when his life’s many wonderful journeys began.

“He was a great man who was so full of life and had so many great adventures,” his family wrote. “Jesse always made the best out of anything and everything. He made an interesting life in Alaska living in the great outdoors. He was always the one to turn the worst into the best. He was the highlight of the room, the life of the party any time or anywhere. Jesse lived a full and very exciting life. He was always living his life to the fullest, having a great amount of determination. We love you dad!”

His family said Jesse had a passion for powder coating and would always say, “There isn’t a job to big or complicated that I can’t or won’t conquer!” He had a great love for fishing, camping, riding four-wheelers and being with friends or surrounded by family. He was loved by so many and a friend to everyone.

Jesse was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Jesse F. Jester Sr. and Louis C. Fenner. He is survived by daughters Carla Jester of Palmer, Rachelle Jester of Michigan, Jessica (John) Nissen of Palmer; son Michael Jester of Palmer; parents Jesse and Sue Jester of Arizona; younger brother Steven (Pam) Jester of California; uncles Mike (Diane) Fenner of Washington and Pat Fenner of Washington; grandmother Drusilla Fenner of Washington; and his grandchildren: Demetria, Nathaniel, Brendan, Scerenidy, Jaiden, Jillian, John III “Bubba” and Haley.

There will be no funeral at this time, and a memoral will be held at a later date.
