Jesse Hugh Harrison

Jesse, who is survived by his loving wife, Linda, lived in South Gulf Cove, a fun-loving, friendly SWFL community.

Jesse is also survived by his son, Bryan Harrison and wife Zaya, and his stepson Jason East, and wife Emily. His blended family also included three grandchildren: Ryann, Devann, and Kierynn East, whom he adored. The oldest, Ryann, called him “Grandpa”.

Jesse also leaves behind his precious fur babies: Matson, a Black Lab, and Maggie, a Beagle Terrier mix. In addition, he left his treasured boat, “Salty Kisses”, to sail another day.

Jesse was predeceased by his mother, Mary Ceneive Bell, and father, Hutchinson H. Payne.
