August 5, 1936 – June 28, 2020
Jesse Ralph Seddon 83, a longtime resident of Manvel Texas was born on August 5, 1936. Jess was called on to ride his final trail on June 28, 2020.
Jesse was a brick mason by trade as was his father. He was a member of the Brick Layers Union from age 17 to 65 years old. He was passionate about the trade. As we all know Jess was all about a good time, so much so that in 1969 he opened his very own beer joint the J&S; right smack dab in the center of Manvel Texas. He operated his bar for 23 years and made many lifelong friends while doing so. Jess also loved his trail rides. He was a member of The Southern Trail Ride and Texas Independence Trail Ride Associations. He was a founding member of the "Telephone Road Rough Riders" along with Jim Paul and Kenny Bellew. This was his favorite pastime. He also taught many others how to drive his team. Jess was larger than life!
He was preceded in death by his parents, Jesse Seddon Sr. and Pearl Seddon, daughter Brenda Seddon, brother Albert Valliere, nephew "Little" Ronnie Rudell, Jr., and brother in law Jim Moses.
Jess is survived by his brother Richard "Dick" Seddon of Trinity Texas, sister Jean Rudell of Amsterdam Texas, sister Jane Pennock of Manvel Texas, son Jesse "Scooter" Seddon III, of Manvel, Texas son Henry Jarrod Seddon and wife Leslie of Amsterdam Texas, granddaughter's Tasha Prince and Lauren Smith, girlfriend Marti Moser, numerous nieces, nephews, and lifelong friends.
