Chase Dylan Jesse

Chase Dylan Jesse, age 20, died unexpectedly in a kayaking/drowning accident on July 5, 2021 while vacationing in Mackinaw City with family. Chase was born on February 26, 2001 to Jack and Elizabeth Jesse at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing, MI. Chase grew up in Eaton Rapids and graduated from Eaton Rapids Public Schools in May of 2019. Early in 2021, Chase moved to Canton, with his brother, Cody Jesse, and took a full-time job with Fuyao Glass America, where he worked hard and received several promotions.

Chase loved all different music genres. The music relaxed his gentle spirit and inspired him to learn to play the piano and guitar. Chase also loved playing video games with his friends online and was rumored to be quite a good gamer, too! Chase was a huge help to his parents and enjoyed helping out the neighbors by shoveling their walks in winter with no expectation of praise. He just wanted to be a nice guy. Chase was such a good son, brother, uncle, nephew, neighbor and friend, and he will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. Chase had a beautiful soul, and his life here ended much too soon, but his family takes comfort in knowing that he is now in Heaven, with his dad, who passed away earlier this year, in March.

Chase is survived by: his mother, Elizabeth Jesse, his brother, Cody Jesse, and by his half brothers, Michael, Andy, Jaremy, and Andrew, and by his half-sisters, Heather and Heidi. His nieces and nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends. He was preceded in death by his dad, Jack Jesse.

Memorial services will be held Friday, July 16th 1:00 PM at the Skinner Funeral Home, Eaton Rapids Chapel. Visitation will begin at 12:00 noon and a reception time will be held immediately after services in the funeral home banquet area.
