So very sorry for you guys. I remember Jesse as a little guy when I was running around with Jason. Praying for the comfort of God.

Jesse and Megan made the best neighbors. A favorite memory is how his Christmas lights would line his roof like a professional lighter. Then when they had Gracie, he just put them up like everyone else. He put his family first, hung a tree swing for his daughter and neighbors, and we always had fun on the 4th of July. He will be missed. We are better for knowing him. Love you, Megan. The Powells

I wish I could find the right words to say to bring you back; to rewind time so that the people you left behind had a few less days of missing you. I wish you could’ve stayed a little longer. Thank you for everything that you did for me, and although late, I know wherever you are it will reach you in the time that it was intended to. You were (are) an amazing individual and I am honored to have had the privilege of knowing you. -Mighty Mouse

I am so sorry to hear of Jesse’s passing. I haven’t seen Jesse since he was a teenager but I remember his sweet red hair and smile. My prayers are for all of you. I too lost my father from a sudden death at a young age on my spring break, so I empathize with you all. May God surround you all with his love. Unfortunately I will be working Wednesday and will not be able to attend. Fly High Jesse
So sorry I won’t be able to attend. Jesse had a special light in his heart. He will be missed. Love and prayers to the whole family.
I cherished every moment I shared with Jesse. Truly blessed to have known him and worked with him and could call him friend. Prayers for his family, I am so sorry for your loss.
Jesse was a great man who will be deeply missed by his work family and wil be immeasurably missed by his loved ones. I was proud to have worked with him. He always had a smile on his face and was always laughing. I respected him deeply as i know many others did. Rest easy now Jesse. My deepest condolences to his wife and children.
It has been a pleasure to have been able to work along side such out standing man. A man who treated everyone with respect and dignity. Giving a place of welcoming to everyone despite their differences, oppions or up bringing, treating everyone like they belonged on the team right along side him. If he wasnt encouraging ones around him then he was talking about his Gracy & them twins. He was so pround of his princesses, showing off pictures and telling stories of them daily. He was a genuine happy man with his life and his family and that humble spirit and big smile will be missed. It has been a true pleasure to have had him as a manager and friend. My preys go out to the Fleming family to have the peace of mind to endure such great loss as this. May God give you comort now and in the years ahead. May the ones around you give you all the support that you will need to keep enduring with faith. And may all three of them baby girls always know they where truly loved by a wondeful man who was truly proud to be they daddy. -Philippians 4: 6, 7 Kristy Moore Fedex/ Noncon5
Our hearts ache for Jack, Anne, Jason and especially for Megan and his children. We have great memories of him in church youth group with our children and the funny videos they made together. There is great comfort in knowing he is where we all long to be one day, with God in Heaven. Prayers for all of the family. Kim and Ruth Shores
Jesse was always a bright spot for me from the first day he started with Fedex. He was a man of integrity and always had positive feedback in any situation, and there were many on a daily basis. He was a bright spot in my day. Prayers for his family!❤️
Hey Brother! I keep waiting to wake up from this dream to find out this can’t be real. I think or see something funny and reach for my phone to send you a text and realize I can’t. I’ve tried to be strong for the family but I’ve broken down when I’m by myself more times than I can count. I’m not sure how or if I can keep moving forward. I went for a run today thinking it would help. A song came on that reminded me of you and I just broke down right in the middle of the street. Right then I heard you saying “don’t quit because of me, keep going Because of me”. I promise to keep going. I’m going to finish that half marathon for you in a few weeks. Don’t worry about Meg and the girls. They are surrounded with love. I promise they will always know who their daddy was and always remind them they are Fleming’s. I’ll share all the stories of our family and make sure they always know how much you loved them. Keep watch over me Bro, I’m going to need it! Love you!! Your Big Brother, Jason
Jesse wasn’t my direct manager at FedEx but as everyone else stated, he was one of the kindest people you could meet. He always seem to go above and beyond to help his team. He was a great pleasure to work with when I got the chance. R.I.P. Jesse.
Jesse my son, Im so thankful God let me share my life with you for 39 years. I am one blessed mother! You gave me so much laughter and happiness. Your spirit will live on through me as well as your brother , children , Father, Grandmother and Megan. Your heart was so full of Gods love. I have some special memories Ill cherish. One was when I was working in the garden and you took your favorite hat and cut a hole in the back so my ponytail could fit through it. You were worried about the sun being too hot on me. I remember when we worked together and I walked in the office to find a brand new bicycle standing in the middle of the room. You bought it with your own money for one of the men that didnt have a car and had to walk a long ways to work. You did this at least 2 other times. Family was the most important thing of all to you. You were always the one to plan the family trips and gather us all together for birthdays and holidays. You loved Megan so much and were always buying her flowers. I remember when the twins were born , you and I went to the jewelry store to buy Megan a necklace. You looked a long time to find just the right one. While I was there I was asking how much it would cost to fix a broken necklace I had. Before I left the store You handed me a gift certificate that you sneaked around to get so I could have my necklace fixed. I will miss your daily calls, your daily trxts , your night time facetime calls with the twins telling me goodnight. I promise I will live out your legacy and carry your smiles, your laughter , your infectious compassionate spirit and the love of Christ to others. Your light will continue to shine for others to see and feel. When I think of you I will think you of your great big smile and how much you loved me and the whole family. I know God has a purpose for you in heaven but I also know your purpose here on earth will carry on in many peoples lives. You will never die. Ill carry you in my heart forever. I will still talk to you, laugh with you, plant flowers for you and love you forever. Fly high my son . The angels in heaven were clapping and rejoicing when you arrived. Light heaven on fire with your smile and infectious fun loving spirit. I know youll be Waiting with open arms for me , your Father, Brother, wife, Grandmother and neices.
Dear Family, Please accept my heartfelt condolence for the loss of your dear family member. (John 5:28,29)
Dear Fleming Family, I’m so very sorry for your loss. I went to High School with Jesse, and played Soccer with him. I had lost touch with him over the years but I remember him being funny, liking sports, and just being kind of an old soul. My deepest condolences.

This was the first I heard of this I so sorry I really liked Jessie he was a great guy.
I am so so sorry for your loss. I realize that these are very challenging times for your family, and the following scripture from the Bible which highlights a future hope has brought me comfort in difficult times, and I hope it does the same for you. Revaluation 21: 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
I am truly sorry for your loss. During such difficult times God is close to us as a source of comfort and strength (Psalm 34:18).
