Jesse Kent Thwaite, age 70, of South Park, passed away peacefully with his family by his side on November 1, 2025, after a long and courageous battle with Parkinson’s Disease.

Born on July 7, 1955, Jesse was the beloved son of the late June and James Thwaite.

He was the devoted partner of 37 years to Christine Ambrosic; dear brother of Jay (Connie) Thwaite, Jeff (Linda) Thwaite, Joel (Sue) Thwaite, the late John (survived by Donna) Thwaite, and Jamie (survived by Sue) Thwaite. He is also lovingly remembered by his sister-in-law Sue (Jerry) Tristano, many nieces and nephews, cousins and his three cherished cats, Mama, Callie, and Orangey.

Jesse’s passion was golf—he found joy, peace, and friendship on the greens. For many years, he worked as the dedicated groundskeeper at St. Louise de Marillac, where his care and attention to detail made the church a place of beauty and pride.

Those who knew Jesse will remember his warm smile, gentle humor, and unwavering kindness.

A memorial service will be held at a later date to celebrate Jesse’s life.
