Jesse Lee Lider Sr., 55, of Centerville, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, December 11, 2025. He was born August 14, 1970, in Sheboygan to Gilbert and Kathy (Zastrow) Lider. Jesse graduated from high school and went on to receive several degrees in mechanics.
Working with his hands was something Jesse loved to do. If he wasn’t working on a car, bike or anything else with a motor, he was building or tinkering with something. He was very mechanically inclined and could never sit still. Jesse enjoyed riding ATV’s, dirt bikes and was great at riding wheelies. He was truly a “wild child” and like going fast and having a good time. When Jesse wasn’t working on something, you might find him in his back yard relaxing in the tree house he built, shooting at cans with his BB gun, or out on the road driving his prized Ford Mustang.
Jesse’s family was the most important thing in his life. He cherished all the time he spent with them fishing and creating lasting memories. He had a heart of gold and was always there to help anyone who needed it while never asking for anything in return.
Jesse is survived by his mother Kathy Lider of Fond Du lac, children; Steven (Amber) Brion, Jesse (Alexis Thomas) Lider Jr., and step-daughter Ashley Eirich all of Sheboygan, grandchildren; Destaney, Steven Jr., Abel and Cole Brion, and Thalia and Joseph Torres, and his sisters Angie (Kurt) Koenig, Ariane Lider and his God-mother Shirley Lider. He is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his father Gilbert.
A Celebration of Jesse’s Life will be held on Saturday, January 3, 2026, from 12:00 Noon until 3:00 PM at Olson Funeral Home & Cremation Service.
