Obituary for Jessie Redmon
Jessie L. Redmon, 79, of Folkston, Ga. passed away on June 13, 2023 (approximately one week of his 80th birthday) following an extended illness. He was born on June 19, 1943 to the late George Redmon and Janliyan Thomas-Redmon in Traders Hill, Ga. (Charlton County). Jessie was educated in the Bethune School System and was employed as a Logging Specialist with Redmon Logging and Taylor Timber for a combined sixty plus years, retiring when his health began to fail. He really enjoyed fishing, handy man carpentry and spending time with family and friends when he wasn’t working. Logging was his life.
Jessie was a lifelong member of Mt. New Home Missionary Baptist Church where he once served on the usher board. He was a friendly man that never met a stranger, nor did he mince words when he wanted to express himself.
