He joins his parents Michelle Mertick and Gary Alan Priddle, his beloved sister Marie Priddle and leaves behind a daughter, Danika Bianca Priddle. Jess was born August 4, 1976 and lived on Salt Spring Island and Duncan, British Columbia as a child and spent most of his adulthood in the city of Courtenay and briefly in Iqaluit, Nunavut.
He loved his daughter dearly, always had a smile on his face and laugh to share. Jess took pride in his work as a heli-logger. Jess will be in the care of First Memorial Services in Victoria, BC.
A Celebration of Life will be planned at a later date. Jess will never be forgotten.
