JESSE BLACK JR

Jesse Leroy Black, Jr., was born to the parentage of Jesse Leroy Black, Sr. and Frances Ann Thompson. Having lost his hearing at the age of four, he did not receive a formal education, but had a series of tutors for the hearing impaired.

He professed his faith in Jesus Christ at an early age and truly loved the Lord.

Even before he was finally fitted with a hearing aid at the age of 17, he never let his hearing loss be an impediment to living a full life. He worked at Frymire Air Conditioning and Heating for over 30 years. And later worked for Oak Farms Dairy for over a decade. Even though he was “retired,” he was working for Platinum Event Services, Inc., at the time of his passing.

He loved family gatherings, travelling, his model trains and airplanes and the Dallas Cowboys. Lavishing family members with gifts, dinner dates, visits to the State Fair of Texas and watching Dallas Cowboy games were some of his happiest times. Not having children of his own, he took great pleasure in spending quality time with his nieces and nephews.

Jesse was preceded in death by his mother and father.
