Jesse J. Slaughter, 72, of Prairie du Chien, passed away on Wednesday, June 30, 2021, at Lancaster Health Services in Lancaster. 

He was born in Black River Falls, Wis., the son of Jimmie and Betty (Hager) Slaughter. His childhood was spent in the McGregor, Iowa, area. He graduated from MarMac High School in 1968. Immediately following graduation, he joined the United States Air Force. His basic training took place in California, and, from there, he was sent on tour in Vietnam. At the conclusion of his time spent in the Air Force, he ended up in Grand Forks, N.D. He moved from North Dakota to California, where he started a new life as a specialist in painting. He then married Jean Robar. Together, they moved to Michigan, where he worked in automotive manufacturing. Following his retirement, he returned to the Prairie du Chien area. Jesse always had a smile on his face and a great sense of humor. His favorite was starting his sentences with, “Way back in ‘39….”

Jesse is survived by his wife, Jean; sisters, Janet (Kenny) Matthews of Prairie du Chien, Evelyn (Myron) Brye of St. James, Minn.; Tammy (Shawn) Rose of Minong; and a brother, Raymond Slaughter of Oklahoma; as well as many nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his parents, and a sister, Marietta Petsche.

Jesse will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved him.

A memorial gathering with Military Honors in remembrance of Jesse’s life will be held on Sunday, Aug. 1, at 1 p.m., in the pavilion at 38298 Bouska Rd. in Prairie du Chien. Martin Schwartz Funeral Home and Crematory, in Bloomington, is assisting the family.
