Jesse proudly served his country as an Army medic from 1951-1953 in Korea. He graduated from Clarion High School, and was a state champion wrestler for Iowa. He held a Golden Glove award in the Army. He loved his country, his Cardinals, the KC Chiefs, the Dodgers, and the Lakers. He enjoyed flying back to Clarion to see friends and family. Throughout the years he kept his faith through the Catholic Church. The family would like to express our thanks for the wonderful help and care provided by the Blue Butterfly Hospice.
