At times overbearing, demanding, and isolating, he loved a good joke or prank and was always an advocate of Black self-determination. He was complicated – remarkably intelligent, a flawed husband and father, a kind grandfather; he was human.
Jesse transitioned on March 18, 2021, being ushered from this life with words of comfort from his granddaughters Maya Morris and Kamaria Thomas.
He is survived by his children, Earl Morris (Natilyn), Orlando Morris (Trish), and Omar Morris of Jackson, Mississippi, Tiyi Morris (Judson L. Jeffries) of Westerville, Ohio, and Jessica Morris (Thomas Anderson) of Coconut Creek, Florida.
Twelve grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; one sister, Yvonne Simpson of Carson, California; one brother-in-law, William DeVeaux of Mableton, Georgia; a dear cousin, Cecilia Morris of East Point, Georgia; a special niece, Linda Hughes of New Orleans, Louisiana;
a wonderful extended family of cousins, nieces, and nephews; and a core of loyal friends and comrades, like Frank Figgers and MacArthur Cotton.
He was preceded in death by his parents and two sisters, Sylvia (Toni) Morris Bennett and Patricia Ann Morris (Pam) DeVeaux.pic.twitter.com/iIw5NwLSrG
