Jesse Randolph Rhodes (A Family Man)
Also known affectionately as JESS or Uncle “J”.
Jesse was baptized at an early age at St. Paul A.M.E.
Jesse loved his whole entire family unconditionally (immediate and extended). The kids were very fond of him because of his wit and fairness displayed.
He also loved jazz and sports. Jesse was the best unpaid comedian we knew, he maintained millions of jokes and his family and friends heard them all. He even starred at the comedy club once and shared a few jokes to others on a cruise stage.
He was energetic, joyful, witty, smart, compassionate, fearless, fair and was still dancing at 91 (two-step). Jesse was rich at heart, always appeared happy, lively, very rarely did you see him frown. He never met a stranger, many felt they were friends the minute they met. He would help anyone in distress if he could.
We will never forget Jesse Rhodes because he was one of a kind. He lived his life out loud and had the ability to brighten people’s mood in many environments. He was loved immensely. Now the angels will be laughing harder than us. Jesse you are already missed.
Jesse was preceded in death by his father Robert Salee Rhodes, and his mother Jessie Rebecca Rhodes, brother, Darwin Crutcher Rhodes, brother Professor Robert Norman Rhodes, and two sisters, Jacqueline Dell, and Marion Harper.
