Jesse Leroy Shamblin, born on July 9, 1982, in Bigelow, Arkansas, later moved to Mabelvale, Arkansas, passed away on Saturday, August 17, 2024 at the age of 42. Jesse was the beloved son of late George ''Sonny'' Shamblin and the late Brenda Shamblin Mayle.
A proud graduate of Bigelow High School, Jesse spent his life in the community he loved. In February 2022, he began working at Brenda's Courier, where he became a valued member of the team. Jesse was known for his love of the outdoors, often spending his free time hunting, fishing and engaging in various sports. He also had a passion for working on vehicles and was always ready with a joke, bringing joy to those around him.
Jesse's life was full, even if it was not as long as many would have wished. He was surrounded by his loving wife and his loving son and a close friend in his final moments, a testament to the deep connections he formed throughout his life.
Jesse was preceded in death by his mother, Brenda Shamblin Mayle; his brother, Danny Wayne Shamblin and his sister, Sarah (Kay) Olles.
He is survived by his devoted wife, Erica Shamblin, whom he married on December 21, 2019 and their young son, Ezekiel (Zeke) Shamblin, who was the light of Jesse's life at just 2 ½ years old. Jesse also leaves behind his stepfather, Glenn Mayle; Mother-In-law, Janet Parker; Father-In-Law, Richard Jeffcoat; Sisters, Jessica Ellington and Danyell Baker (Jason); Stepbrother, GJ Mayle; Stepsister, Candace Mayle; Sister-In-Law, Jamie Gamble; Brother-In-Law, David Wayne Olles and a host of loving nieces and nephews: Jaylynn Dedmon, Ginny Wade, Mate Wade, Nick Wade, Carson Shamblin, Alexis, Brayley, Braxton, Kaden, Kody, Kylie and Kamren.
Jesse's memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. Though his time with us was brief, his impact was profound and he will be deeply missed by his family, friends and all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
A visitation will be held from 5:00 - 7:00 P.M. on Wednesday, August 28, 2024 at Roller-Owens Funeral Home in North Little Rock, Arkansas.
"For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works". - Matthew 16:27
There was never a dual moment from cutting through your momma's fence to you calling me in the middle of the night needing a riding buddy to do your runs. I wished you were here to drag me into the casino! I'll never have another friend like you! You've been there for me my girls and I'll be there for Erica and Zeke. You will definitely be missed. I love you forever. Thank you for everything!
You’ve been there for me for over 15 years. You always knew just what to do no matter what the situation was, and you never once judged me, or let me down. I wish there were more people like you in the world. Your absence leaves this huge void that could never be filled and my world will never be the same without you in it. I never thought the day would come when I would lose you, infact you promised me it never would. You were my person and I will love you forever.
