John Edwin Jessing, loving husband and father of three, and resident of Sylvania, OH, passed away unexpectedly on May 18, 2015 at the age of 46 while at work. John was born in Dearborn, MI on June 23, 1968.  He played football at Wayne State University from where he graduated in 1990 with a degree in psychology.  John worked as a sales manager for Vico Products for over twenty years.  He married the love of his life, Kris Palmer on May 16, 1992 and together they had two daughters and a son, who were the most important part of his life. John was a devoted son, husband, and father.  He was an avid sports fan, well-traveled, and loved working in his yard.  He was known for his bright and broad smiles and his easy laugh.  John lived a life worth aspiring to and many looked up to him as their hero.  He taught many lessons to his children through his role as father and coach over the years they shared.  In that he lives on.  John will be missed by his friends, family, and all who knew them.
