Mr. Jesse Woodford, Jr, 77, of Camden, South Carolina passed away peacefully on February 2, 2019. He was born in Kershaw County on July 25, 1941 and reared by his late parents, Mary S. Jones and Benjamin Jones.

Mr. Woodford was first employed by the Sarsfield Hotel in Camden, South Carolina. He later relocated to New York where he was employed by the New York Horse Racing Association for many years.

He was a gifted and creative artist. In his spare time, he enjoyed doing arts and crafts in which he built large ships, airplanes, submarines, helicopters, walking canes as well as picture frames as his passion.
