Condolence From: Eleanor Hull Blain
Condolence: I knew Jesse and his parents and siblings when he was a boy. His father was the one my father called whenever he needed help with a sick farm animal. My sister Janie Kanaga taught with him at Covington and spoke highly of him. My thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones. May he rest in peace.

Condolence: Pam, Kamelle, Machelle and families. I am so sorry about you losing Jesse. I can't imagine the loss that you are feeling. I will continue praying for your family. I wanted to tell you I will be out of town and will not be able to attend the memorial service. He was a great man and fellow teacher. He touched so many student's lives. He will always be a great memory to all of his students. Pam, I am praying for peace and comfort for you. I love all of you. Mrs. Peacock

Condolence: Mr. James was a first class teacher that I will never forget. I had him for Psychology and Driver's Ed many years ago. He made an effort to engage kids in class and he truly cared for his students. Blessings and condolences to his family and friends.

Condolence: 2 Corinthians 5:1 - For when this earthly tent we live in is taken down – we will have a home in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself, not by human hands. And – Romans 6:5 -For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also [in the likeness] of [his] resurrection…
Coach...you're perfect now.
We lost a legend this week, but what a legacy you'll leave behind. You were truly a gift from God to a whole bunch of us know-it-all teenagers who knew better. You spoke life into us when it seemed we could do no more often reminding us of who we were meant to be. So many awesome memories.....Thanks so much for your friendship. Gonna miss you.
Thanks James' for lending such a great man to us. Know you are loved.

Condolence: Coach James was there with me through it all. Basketball, track, drivers ed, and in the classroom. He could see past the talkative, busy teenager that I was and always made me feel like I was someone special. As a student, we have certain teachers who touch our lives, and Coach James was that teacher to me. I’ve had so many good talks with him as an adult and still respected him as much as I did when I was a kid.
