Jesse Hannor was born on March 31, 1990, to the late Rosa Marie Hannor and Jesse Lee Harris in Augusta, Georgia. He was the grandson of the late Mother Annie Mae Hannor and John Hannor, Sr. He was also preceded in death by his older brother Joseph (Jo, Jo) Hannor. Jesse was adopted as an infant by Thomas Jefferson (TJ) and Voncile Hannor Adams who loved and cared for him to the end. Jesse matriculated through the Macon County School System and graduated high school in 2008 from Southwest Georgia Institute of Education in Albany, Georgia. He attended South Georgia Technical College and was later employed for 14 years at Cooper Lighting in Americus, Georgia as a Brake Press Operator, and trainer for others on his shift. Jesse’s supervisor described him as “one of his most valuable employees who comes to work 30 minutes early and did a SUPER job every day.”
Jesse was a loving, dependable, and devoted son, brother, uncle, nephew, and friend who sought to enjoy life, living, all of God’s creation, and a good porterhouse steak (on occasion). Jesse loved the Lord and always told us
“Jesus is my friend.” Jesse gave his life to Christ and was baptized at a young age at First United Holiness Church by Elder Michael Coley, Sr. Jesse was an active church member and loved his church family. Jesse never met a stranger and had a magnetic personality. He was a soft spoken young man with an incredible heart for people. He enjoyed traveling and spending time family and friends.He enjoyed going to the movies, playing all sorts of games, listening to the Canton Spirituals and Lee Williams, and watching sports. His favorite sport teams were the Golden State Warriors, Georgia Bulldogs, and Kansas City Chiefs. He was a huge Marvel movie and Fast and Furious fan and enjoyed watching them with his big sister Nancy.
Jesse was a miracle baby born with health challenges that later progressed, but he never complained. There were several times when he was in and out of the hospital. Each incident seemed to make him more determined to win the battle. He was determined that his failing health would not limit his strong will to live life to the fullest. God has now granted him healing and peace.
On Christmas evening, Monday, December 25, 2023, God whispered softly into Jesse’s ear and called him home to celebrate Jesus’ birthday. God embraced him in His arms and enfolded him in His love. A precious one from us went home and is finally free.
Jesse leaves to cherish his loving memories to his mother Voncile Hannor Adams, Oglethorpe, Georgia; his dad Thomas Jefferson (TJ) Adams, Byronville, Georgia; seven siblings, Benita Law (John); Nancy Hannor, Montezuma, Georgia; TeShaunda Hannor-Walker (Jacque), Leesburg, Georgia; Lakisha Hannor, Atlanta, Georgia; Marshae Hannor, Powder Springs, Georgia; Anthony Worthy, Montezuma, Georgia; and Marcus Hannor, Montezuma, Georgia. His loving maternal aunts and uncles: Mary Kate Gray, John Henry Hannor, Sr. (Annie Bell), Mary Louise Mathis, James Henry Hannor, Sr., Laura Hannor Hubbard (Anias), and Carolyn Hannor and his paternal aunt Dorothy Gary. He has a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and several devoted friends.
