Jesse L. Pena, age 76, of Du Quoin, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, May 9, 2024, at his home in Du Quoin.
Jesse was born in Mexico City on November 12, 1947. Prior to his retirement, he had worked for Hicks Oil.
Jesse had a passion for life and always looked to bring light and happiness to any occasion. He would not want tears shed for him. But rather, he would want those he loved to remember the happy times and cherish the fun-filled memories. Remember his love for playing the lottery, and always keep those dreams of winning. Remember his love of watching Wheel of Fortune, and always keep that confidence of knowing the answers. But, mostly, remember the love he had for his family. Jesse was a beloved father, grandfather, and great-grandfather whose life and legacy will forever be deeply interwoven in his family that he loved so deeply.
Survivors include his four children- Jason (Jennifer) Ehler of Zeigler, Andrea Ehler of Du Quoin, Jordan Ehler of Du Quoin, and Jetee Ehler of D
