Jess was an avid fan of the Blue Jackets and lifetime fan of the St. Louis Cardinals.  He enjoyed traveling, loved Formula One and NASCAR, and always listened to his old rock and roll music.

A gathering will be at the convenience of the family with interment in Memorial Burial Park.

Memorial gifts may be made to Hill View Activity Fund or Pelotonia Bicycle Ride for Cancer.

Arrangements are under the direction of the BRANT FUNERAL SERVICE IN SCIOTOVILLE.

Jess’ family wish to offer a special “thank you” to the staff of Hill View for their care and compassion.
