Jesse Valton Baxter was born March 9, 1929 in Shannon, TX, the oldest of four siblings. He passed away and left our loving arms on September 4, 2013 in Bakersfield, CA at the age of 84 to enter eternal life. Our father, grandfather, great-grandfather and brother will be deeply missed.
Jesse traveled the world as a drilling superintendent for several major oil companies and after retirement he worked as a regional manager for Pinkerton Security. Jesse was an avid outdoorsman loving to hunt, ride horses, RV camp and raise livestock on his property and you could always find him watching a western movie or cheering on his favorite baseball team, the Anaheim Angels.
Jesse was very proud of serving his country as a Private in the Army Air Corps and earning his high school GED at the age of 60. He was also a member of the Taft Oddfellows.
Jesse is survived by three sisters, Mozelle Connick, Wanda Miller and Ollie Mae Curry; three sons, Allan Baxter, Steven Baxter and Stewart Baxter and one daughter, Donna Cardell; nine grandchildren, Mark and Michael Baxter, Shawna Cardell-Miller, Matthew Cardell, Amanda, Andrew and Austin Baxter and Vanessa and Lisa Johnson; and seven great-grandchildren, Nathan, Nicole, Brittany, Ian, Badri, Samuel and Zachary. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews. Jesse is also survived by his blended family of 40 years, step-daughters Mary Lou Sneed and Margaret Ward; five grandchildren, Angela Drake, Allyson Sneed, Stephany Martin, Eric James and Andrew Ward; and seven great-grandchildren, Kymbra, Baker, Sadie, Jakob, Jessianne, Roselyn, and Ryland.
