Obituary

Jessie Willard Baldwin was born in Terrytown, Georgia December 06th, 1920, to the late Owen and Mary (Toni) Baldwin.

He spent his childhood in Vidalia, Georgia where he later met and married Susie Brown on August 10th, 1940.

They later moved to Miami, Florida and finally settled in Hallandale, Florida, where they raised their seven children.

Jessie fell to sleep in death on April 15th, 2011, at the age of 90. Preceding him in death: Susie Baldwin (wife) and daughters: Essie Mae Wesley, Shirley Ann Baldwin and Linda-Baker.

Jessie leaves to cherish his memories: Charles (Alice) Baldwin of Miami Gardens, Florida, Oteau (Jimmy) Holmes of Blakely, Georgia, Barbara (Jessie) Golden of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, Jessie (Sandra) Baldwin, Jr. of Miami Gardens, Florida; Sons-in-law Robert (Ray) Wesley of Hollywood, Florida, Otis Baker of Jackson, Mississippi; Sisters: Dorothy Baldwin of Miami, Florida, Ella Mae Jones of Plainsfield, New Jersey; Sister-in-law Mary Smith of Jacksonville, Florida; cousins, nieces, and nephews, along with many sorrowing friends and neighbors.

And if the measure of a mans blessing is based on the size of his family, then Jessie was truly a blessed man. For his family also consisted of twenty-five grands, sixty great-grands and twenty-two great, great grandchildren- one hundred and seven total.

Fondest Memories

Daddy was a loving and caring husband and father. His family and love for God were his life. He was a jack of all trades, doing whatever was needed to provide for his family; laying roofing tiles, mechanic, fishing bait farm and his own trucking business (always busy, busy busy). He was known for always joking and telling stories of his childhood. He was an undiscovered song writer and his two most favorite songs were Dee-Dee-Dee and Poor Little Baby which he dedicated to all his grand-babies. And we cant forget Cornbread Stew.

Daddys greatest passion was to EAT and always said that when he leaves this world he would go with a full stomach. This he did until near the end when he couldnt hold anymore. (Smile).

He was loved by everyone and treated them all as family. To know him was to love him. His sense of humor will be remembered by all his children and grands.

He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.

Rev. 21:4

All those in the memorial tombs will come out.

John 5.28,29
