Jesse "Zeb" Wiles

Hi, my name is Christine. Jesse, or Zeb, as we called him, was called home on October 10th, the day before what would have been his 80th birthday. He lost his fifth and final battle with cancer that was caused by exposure to Agent Orange during his military service.

Zeb was a decorated Viet Nam Air Force veteran (he was awarded the Viet Nam Cross of Gallantry with Silver Star, and a veteran of the San Rafael police force. He was a loving father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Summing up a life in a few short sentences is difficult. He was a coach, an avid bowler, a mentor, and a friend to many. He had a curious spirit and always tried to learn about new things when the opportunity arose.

Zeb spent his final years with his son Lance and daughter-in-law, Meagan. He always brought them joy. Unfortunately, Meagan and Lance are both disabled and on a limited income. Covering Zeb's final expenses is beyond their means. As a last thank you to a humble hero for service to his community and country, please consider donating. Any and all donations are appreciated.
