Jay "Bucky" William Chesser

his loving family.

Mr. Chesser was born December 27, 1954 in Houston, Texas to Jessie Willard and Lenny Sofie

Chesser. Jay was known by friends and family as “Bucky.” Bucky was a long time resident of

Katy, Texas and graduated from Fredericksburg High School in 1974. He began his career when

he started Chesser Insulation with his brother Buddy before he graduated high school. He

continued his career in construction insulation until he ultimately founded his own company,

Diversified Thermal. Bucky was excellent at building and repairing things and truly had a knack

for construction. His tools of choice were duck tape and WD40. He was an avid saltwater

fisherman and loved to captain deep sea fishing trips. He had a zest for life and got a thrill out of

water sports and boats. He had a passion for music and was an excellent drum player. Bucky

lived life to the fullest and loved those around him with a full and open heart. He also cherished

time spent with his family and friends. His time with his grandchildren was extra special to him.

Bucky was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Jess E. “Gene” Chesser; Sister Linda

Sanders. He leaves behind his loving wife of 31 years, Yvonne Chesser of Katy, TX; Sons,

Nicholas Jay Chesser and wife Brittany and grandchildren Jett and Harper of Leander, TX,

Lukas William Chesser of Katy, TX; daughters, Cara Jennings and husband Brandon with

grandchildren Hugh, Reese, and Cash of Llano, TX, Kathryn DeBord and husband Jesse

“Wade” with grandchildren Cameron, Dylan, Joey, Ryan and Jesse of Edna, TX; brother Robert

“Buddy” Chesser of Lubbock, TX and a host of cousins, nieces, nephews, family and friends.

Bucky was a loving Husband, Father and Friend, and he will be greatly missed by all who knew

him.

The Chesser family would like to give a special thanks to the Memorial Hermann staff who took

great care of him in his final days of life.
