Jessie E. Taylor, 79, of Watsontown went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on June 12, 2020. He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather to his devoted family.

He was born in Houston, Texas, on November 13, 1940 and was the son of the late James E. Taylor and the late Dorothy Irwin. On February 27, 1960, he married the former Marie A. Mannella.

Jessie was a proud United States Air Force veteran and a long-time member of the Delaware Run Wesleyan Church.

He retired from New England Motor Freight Company, and most recently worked for Moran Logistics. Most of all Jessie’s greatest legacy is his three children, their spouses and his seven grandchildren. He loved and enjoyed all the time he could spend with his family.
