It is with great sadness that the family announce that Nicholas Joseph Jesso, aged 78 years, a loving and devoted husband, father, and brother passed peacefully away at the Sir Thomas Roddick Hospital in Stephenville, NL on Friday, September 23rd, 2022 after fighting a long battle of cancer.

Nicholas will be sadly missed by: his loving wife of 56 years Violet; his sons: Sean and Nelson (Maryann); daughter Allison (Steve); grandchildren: Matthew, Ashley, Megan (Kyle), and Aiden; great grandchildren: Alexander, Lucas, and Kinsley; sisters: Remona, Pauline, Lilian, Delores, Gertrude (Mike), Edna, and Marion (Ronnie); and brother Alphonsus (Ruby); as well as a large circle of extended family and friends.

He was predeceased by his son Henry and other family members.

Nicholas was a kind-hearted person who would give the shirt off his back for anyone that knew him. His generosity was well known to anyone that needed a helping hand; he would drop anything he was doing to help anyone in need. Nicholas loved being around his grandchildren and great grandchildren who always put a smile on his face.

He will be greatly missed by his loving family and will always be remembered in their hearts.

We are sincerely grateful to many who have given us support and comfort during this time of loss.

Following his wishes cremation has taken place. Family and friends are invited to attend a “Celebration of Life” on Thursday, September 29th, 2022 at 3pm located at 17 Georgia Drive, Stephenville.
