He served in the U.S. Army. Jesse was a member of New Vision Church in Donora, where he embraced his walk with the Lord, and one of his greatest joys was working at the light on the top of the hill, Fox 53, WPGH. He leaves looking for his twinkle in the sky, his parents, Rev. Jesse and Rev. Diane Frost; sister; Denise Frost; and the matriarch of the family, Aunt B Lyons of Donora; and a great host of family and friends.
