Jesse was preceded in death by his grandparents, Emmit Allen and Emmie Allen and Nathaniel and Nell Cox; his parents Jesse Sr. and Maxine Allen; his brother Marty Lewis Allen and his nephew Chaz Whiteside.
He is survived by his children, Keana and Ashely Allen, Tekeisha (Jimmie) Gaines and Anthony (Tonya) Perry; his siblings, Linda and Vickie Allen, Ricky (Heidi) Allen and Kevin (Leigh) Allen; seven grandchildren Chance, Derrick “DJ”, Jobe, Miriah, Savanah, Anthony Jr., and Olivia, his aunts Mable King, Barbara and Shirley Allen, Ramona Davie, Dorothy Johnson and Angeline Westbrook; his uncle Robert L. Allen; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins a very special friends, Henry, Jerry, Jeannie, Pam, Kathy, Andrew, Robin and Richard.
If anyone knew anything about Jesse, he or she knew that he had quite he clever and quick wit! If you were trying to hide something personal or humiliating, you hadn’t let Jesse get wind of it, because he would jokingly (but definitely) put your business on blast. He was our own Mr. Jokester, a regular Eddie Murphy of Columbus, Ohio. Jesse enjoyed the joys of nature and he adored fishing. He was naturally talented at landscaping and enjoyed working with his hands. He had an incredible memory for facts and trivia. He remembered almost everyone he ever met. And though he could be pretty cranky when he got in his “moods” everyone also knew that deep down, he was a deeply loving and caring father, grandfather, nephew and brother. He will mostly be remembered as “Chessy” because he was the Chess Master!
We now release him to the loving arms of his parents, Jesse Sr. and Maxine, who have been waiting patiently for him. We will see them all again soon, but Jesus needs them now. Rest Well Jesse Lee, We Love you so very much !!!
