TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE PASSING OF JESSE N. STAFFORD OF SUMMERVILLE AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Jesse N. Stafford of Summerville on Monday, March 8, 2021, at the age of ninety-one; and
Whereas, born in Quitman County, Mississippi, on May 6, 1929, Jesse was the son of the late David and Newton Adeline Stafford; and
Whereas, Jesse Stafford, heeding the call of his country, served in the United States Army and retired from civil service at the Charleston Air Force Base; and
Whereas, this man of faith found his spiritual home at Summerville Baptist Church, where he served as a deacon. After retirement, he worked with the Screven Baptist Association; and
Whereas, in addition, he was a founding member of the disaster relief program for the State of South Carolina; and
Whereas, predeceased by his wife, Nadine Popejoy Stafford, as well as by his parents, three brothers, and two sisters, Jesse Stafford leaves to cherish his memory his three children, David Jim Stafford (Joyce) of Summerville, Jacqueline "Jackie" Johnson (Duane) of Gaston, and Susan Harrison (Tim) of Summerville; six grandchildren, Jessica Stafford, David Ryan Stafford, Stafford Johnson (Kaylyn), Nicole Harrison (Michael), Leianne Glymph (Luke), and T.J. Harrison (Jenny); a great-granddaughter, Roselyn Marie; and a host of other family members and friends. He will be greatly missed. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the passing of Jesse N. Stafford of Summerville and extend the deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to David Jim Stafford for the family.
