Jesse David Feldman

May 4, 1947 - December 31, 2021

We regret that Jesse (Jess) D. Feldman left this world on December 31, 2021. He was born and raised in New York City. He moved to Memphis to attend Memphis State University, where he earned his undergraduate, graduate and doctorate degrees. He was a dedicated and eminent educator for the Memphis City Schools for 43 years. He was a devoted husband, father, and brother. He is survived by his wife, Vera Feldman; daughter, Julie Feldman Algiere (Steve); son, Will Feldman; and sister, Seena Aisner (Joe). Jess was an avid golfer, fisherman, arts enthusiast, poker player and world wide traveler. Jess is predeceased by his parents, Leon and Hattie Feldman, as well as his beloved pets, BB and Quincy. His last years were difficult. We want to thank his doctors, our family, friends, neighbors and community for their incredible care, concern and support. We are forever indebted to Jess's primary caregivers: Jackie Times and Melanie Lowe. They selflessly gave Jess professional, compassionate, and loving care in his final months. If you desire, a donation can be made to The MidSouth Food Bank or Beth Sholom Synagogue in Jess's memory.
