Jessie Lee

Alsip

Heaven got a little brighter on November 8th, 2026, as our daddy Jesse Lee Alsip, age 90, of Moriarty, New Mexico went home to be with our Lord.

He was met there by his bride of 68 years Josie Tapia Alsip and his parents James Oscar and Jimmie White Alsip.

He was preceded in death by siblings Herman Rowland, Willis Rowland, Jr. (Junior), Alma Rowland Meadows, Janice Lou Alsip McCarthy, Steely Alsip and Willard Alsip.

Jesse was born and raised in Corbin, Kentucky. After finishing high school, he joined the United States Air Force. He was first assigned to Korea for a year, then to a radar site at Wagon Wheel, New Mexico, near Moriarty. This is where he met and fell in love with Josie. They were married a year later.

After the military, Jess went to Cosmetology school and worked with Josie for many years. He later began working as a rural carrier for the Moriarty Post Office. For over 30 years, he delivered mail throughout Torrance County.

He will be remembered as being kind, loving, proud, and a private person. He was always willing to lend a hand where needed, helping a stranded motorist on the side of the road, or assisting in building new steps at our church. He will be known for his loving and very strong hugs and his devotion and dedication to loving and caring for Josie and his unconditional love and loyalty to his daughters. Mostly he will be remembered for his great faith in the Lord and where his eternal home is.

Jesse is survived by daughters Pammi Nevins (Troy) and Cindy Reece (Michael); Grandchildren Dessa Haseloff (Derrick), Justin Nevins (Kari), Bradley Nevins (Amber), Stephanie Griffin (Michael), and Jason Reece (Hannah); 19 Great Grandchildren (with one on the way); and 3 Great-Great Grand Sons.

He is also survived by his sister, Jackie Ann Alsip Burroughs as well as many loving nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

A memorial service will be scheduled at a later date.
