On April 16, 2024, Jesse Lee Willis Jr. was joined in Glory with his parents, Jesse Willis Sr. and Anne L. Wills; wife, Margie Willis, and grandson, Tonio Manson. He was born on May 18, 1935 in Blakely GA.

Jesse lived in his community for 66 years and was a lifelong member of Prince of Peace Baptist Church. He was a retired Army Veteran. He also retired from Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company with 50 years of service.

He was a loyal member of the 711 Corvette Club and the Akron Van Club. He loved detailing cars or anything dealing with taking pictures and shooting videos. You would not see him without a camera; that was his true passion.

He leaves to cherish his memories with his son, Tonio (Diane) Willis of Texas; one daughter, Dakota Greene of Atlanta, GA; one grandson, Rasha Greene of Atlanta, GA.; one great
granddaughter, D’Asia Greene (RaShad, daughter) of Akron, OH and one granddaughter, Sharde’ Greene of Akron, OH.
