Jesse Richard Nealey of Blenheim passed away in London on Saturday September 10, 2011 at the age of 14 years. Jesse is the much loved son of Annette and Billy Nealey and brother of Blake Nealey. He will be missed very much by his grandparents Barry & Sharon Cadotte and Rick Jamrozinski, his great grandparents Kacey & Jean Jamrozinski and Mary Jean Willett (Bonner), his Aunts and Uncles Krystal Manley, Melanie Nealey, Chris & Sherry Jamrozinski, Melissa & Rob Crevits and Terilyn & Jeremy Bourdeau as well as many great Aunts, Uncles and cousins. He was predeceased by his Grampie Bill Nealey and Grandma Kathy Jamrozinski.
There are people you meet and who amaze you with the things they are able to accomplish in such a short time and Jesse was one of them. He graduated from St. Anne School in Blenheim in 2010 and was now attending Ursuline College Secondary School in Chatham in grade 10. For the last week he was involved in Lancer Link, mentoring a grade 9 student to become familiar and comfortable with the school. He was involved for many years with Youth Bowling in Blenheim, receiving many awards and the 291 Blenheim Bomber Squadron Cadets whom he was able to spend a week in England with just last year. Jesse was involved with the Lancer Football Team at UCC and he was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 185 Colour Guard. In his spare time he enjoyed playing guitar, watching NASCAR and riding his dirtbike.
