Jesse M Kilgore

Jesse McCain Kilgore, born May 22, 1977, went home to be with Jesus on October 15, 2026 at 49 years old. Jesse attended public school at Weir Attendance Center, graduating in 1995,and later attended Holmes Community College. He was a musician, a singer, and played in a heavy metal band in his twenties while living in Orlando. He later worked with Chevron in a supervisory position and was more recently hired as an oil drilling instructor while working contract at STP for Koss.

Jesse grew up attending the Ackerman Church of God. He asked Christ into his life after his younger brother, Joshua, went to be with The Lord. In the latter part of his life and even more recently, it was not unusual to find him studying the Bible and to see him with many Bibles around him.

Jesse was preceded in death by his younger brother, Joshua Dale Kilgore, along with many other loved ones. He left behind his father, Ricky Dale Kilgore (Janice); mother, Patti Dove Joiner (Donald); brother, Jeremy Paul Kilgore (Megan) of Eupora (Walthall); mamaw, Maxine Hinton of Ackerman; nephews,Dylan Patrick (Demi) and little Callie and Kyle Kilgore (Hallie) also of Eupora (Walthall) along with so many cousins and friends who will miss him terribly.

I am so grateful that God allowed us to have Jesse here for 49 years but being selfish we wish it were so much longer. His annoying torment of his family and friends and the laughter that followed will be greatly missed. He brought so much joy to our family and now he is enjoying Heaven and all it has to hold.

Jesse’s celebration of life will begin at Coleman Funeral Home on Thursday, October 22, 2026, from 6-8 pm, continuing on Friday, October 23, 2026, at the Ackerman Church of God from 11–1 pm. His Homegoing Service will be Friday, October 23, 2026, at the Ackerman Church of God in Ackerman, MS, followed by interment at Milligan Springs Cemetery in Montgomery County.
