JESSE M. DAW
Dec. 10, 1940-Jan. 21, 2018
Jesse Meredith Daw, 77, of Pikeville, passed away on Sunday, Jan. 21, 2018, at his home surrounded by his family.
Jesse was born in Edgecombe County on Dec. 10, 1940, to the late Craig and Jesslyn Peele Daw. He retired from Firestone in Wilson after 22 years of service. Jesse tirelessly devoted himself as his wife's caregiver since her stroke -- she was his world and the love of his life. Jesse and Laraine loved their family and the time they spent with their children and their growing families. He also had a great love for fishing, music and his country. Jesse was a member of the Pikeville P.F.W.B. Church.
Graveside services will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 24, 2018, at 2 p.m. in the Pikeville Cemetery with his pastor, the Rev. Mark Whitfield. The family will greet friends on Tuesday, Jan. 23, from 7 to 9 p.m. at Seymour Funeral Home and other times at his home.
Jesse is survived by his wife of 56 years, Laraine Blow Daw; daughter, Sharon D. Martin and husband, Jeff of Pikeville; son, Darrin Daw and wife, Jennifer of Greensboro; sister, Debbie D. Sanders of Goldsboro; grandchildren, Corey Martin and wife, Marie, Zachary Martin and wife, Katie, Morgen Daw and Raven Welch; and his great-granddaughter, Avalee Martin. He is also survived by his faithful K-9 friends, Missy and Molly and his niece, Lynn Ferrell and great-niece, Jesslyn Ferrell.
