Jesse Smith Obituary

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Jesse Smith of Naperville, Illinois, born in East Chicago, Indiana, who passed away on January 4, 2026, at the age of 91, leaving to mourn family and friends. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Jesse Smith to show support.

Though Jesse may no longer walk beside us, his memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those Jesse touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness. In his absence, his spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.

He is survived by: his children, Troy, Mia, Mark and Heather; his niece Glenda; his great-niece Jeanette; and his great-nephews, David and Jonathan.
