He was an avid fan of WVU athletics and any team associated with his grandchildren. He enjoyed attending church and was a longstanding member of Pierpoint Freewill Baptist Church.
He was very devoted to and proud of his family. If you spent any time with him, you’ve likely heard stories about his daughters and especially his grandchildren. Affectionately known as “Papaw Jess” or “Pops,” he was a girl dad and grandpa extraordinaire. His later years were filled with Barbie Dolls and limitless tea parties, as he shaped memories with his beloved great-granddaughters, Peyton and Karsyn. He will be greatly missed by those he loved so dearly."Survivors include his wife, Jerri and daughters, Jennifer Chandler of Crab Orchard, Teresa Workman and husband Randy of Daniels, and Angela Johnson and husband Scott of Mullens.
