Jesse was a spirited little boy who brought joy to everyone around him.

His propensity for smiling often left a lasting impression on those who had the privilege of knowing him.

He is survived by his devoted parents, Matthew and Jessica Montgomery Bowen, who raised him with love and affection in Bloomington Springs. Jesse's family also includes his sister, Joshalynn; his grandparents, Sheila Simpson, Charles Hancock, and Melissa and Jake Scott; and his great-grandparents, Shirley Parks, Jean Jeffers and Odell Scott.
