Jesse Michael Nemie Jr

Sept. 15, 1945 - Mar. 6, 2020 Jesse Michael Nemie Jr. passed away peacefully surrounded by his family at the age of 74. Jesse was born in Stockton, California to Jesse M. Nemie and Josephine Jarvis. He was one of six children. Jesse enlisted and honorably served in the United States Army. After returning from Korea, he was stationed at Ft. MacArthur in San Pedro, California where he met his wife, Vivian. They married in 1966, and in 1970 bought their first home in Harbor City. It was at this time he began his impressive career in Aerospace, working for Cosmodyne. Some years and two kids later, Jesse began working at McDonnell Douglas Aerospace, which merged with Boeing Aerospace in 1997. There, he continued working as a well respected Environmental Space Technician, receiving one of the highest clearances possible. After a 21 year career, Jesse retired. This did not come as a choice, rather a need for improvement of his health. On Valentine’s Day of 2007, he was the recipient of a much needed heart transplant. This gave his family another 13 years of memories with him they would not have had otherwise. He is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Vivian; daughter, Lorilynn (Brad) DuVall; son, J. Michael Nemie; grandchildren Courtney (Daniel), Bradly Jr., Amber, Jordyn, Jennalyn, and Jaedyn; great-granddaughters Mylee and Mila, and sister Mary Anne. He is preceded in death by his father Jesse M. Nemie, mother Josephine Jarvis, sisters Josephine and Eva, brothers Tom and Paul. Jesse will forever be known as a hard-working, simple man who loved his family. He knew how to have a great time, and always had a lot of love for his brothers and sisters in-law. His many nieces, nephews, and godchildren loved him dearly. They were always the recipients of his many jokes and pranks. He was a wonderful man who will be deeply missed. Visitation will be Friday, March 20th, at Green Hills Memorial Park from 4-8 PM. Services will be Saturday, March 21st at 11:30, also at Green Hills.
