Jesse Wayne Perrington was born January 16, 1951 in Bigfork, MN. He grew up in Cohasset and Ball Club, A graduate of Deer River High he later started his family in Wabana Township and eventually became a resident of Cohasset, MN and his beloved cabin on King Lake.

Jesse was self taught in his life’s artistry. He could build a house from the ground up and he relied on these and other entrepreneurial skills when times were lean, and to be more present with his young family when driving semi kept him away too long. He passed these skills and treasured traits to his four sons. He was an avid outdoorsman, in love with hunting and fishing. So much so, that you could be stuck in a boat with him for 8 hours without a bite, based on it being a former hotspot he remembered and would conquer again. He knew the forest, and this will always be evident in his woodworking. His sense of humor was the best and is already missed by those who knew him.

Jesse left this life suddenly on January 24, 2023 at Saint Mary’s Hospital in Duluth. He was preceded in passing by his dad, Leonard Perrington, and is survived by his mother Nadine Perrrington as well as his nine brothers and two sisters, four sons Jamie, Jess, Jerry and Joel, their spouses and ten beloved grandchildren. Time is short, love the ones you’re with.
