Jessie Donald Curtis Tyner

Jessie Donald Curtis Tyner, known to all simply as Jessie, brought an irrepressible spark of joy to the world when he was born on April 21, 1985, in Greenville, SC. His journey through life was one filled with laughter and love, a journey that sadly came to an end on January 2, 2024, in Spartanburg, SC. Jessie's life was a masterclass in optimism, and even now, he'd probably say, "Don't worry, I've just gone ahead to scout out the place for the best jokes!"

Jessie was the beloved son of Donald Curtis Tyner and the late Fane Dianna Morgan. He was the ringleader of fun for his siblings: Jennifer Dianna Tyner Sorgee , James Maxie Allen Tyner, Jessica Paige Tyner, and Jason Dewayne Tyner Stephenson (Denise). He was a high school graduate who turned his talent for fixing things and sparking connections into a career as an electrician, proving that he could indeed put a positive spin on anything, including wires.

A man who loved his family more than anything, Jessie was the kind of guy who would light up a room with his presence and make sure everyone was charged with good vibes. His son, Bralynn Jackson, was the brightest bulb in his life's chandelier, and his many nieces and nephews were the switches that turned on his playful side.

Jessie's interests were as simple as they were profound: he loved his family. He was the embodiment of the words loving, friendly, and optimistic. If you asked him how he was doing, he'd always say, "I'm on the right side of the grass!" And even now, he'd probably insist he still is, just with a better view.

To say Jessie was an electrician is to say the sun is a bit warm. He didn't just connect cables; he connected people. His association with fellow sparkies wasn't just about work; it was about creating currents of camaraderie and laughter that could power a small city.

Jessie's legacy is not just in the lights he left on but in the hearts he illuminated. He lived life like a stand-up routine, always ready with a punchline and a smile. As we say goodbye to Jessie, let's honor his memory by living as he did: with a joke on our lips, love in our hearts, and the certainty that no matter what, the best way to face the dark is to turn on the light.
