Living their best lives, Jessiah Plemons and Lily Rose were just starting their love journey. Lily was said to have a joyful, carefree, and vivacious nature that made everyone around her happy. August McClelland, her cousin, reminisces of her as a fun-loving individual who frequently collaborated with friends and family on TikTok videos.Our family simply revolved around Lily. All she would do was lighten the space. The room would resound with her laughing,” Lily’s aunt Selena McClelland said.
Jessiah loved music, and it was clear from his behavior that he was passionate about it. He gave Lily her first guitar and took her to her very first concert. They had a nice relationship as Lily learned to strum the guitar and he learned to play the drums.Even though Jessiah struggled with addiction, he was committed to helping others overcome similar obstacles because he had turned his life around. He changed many lives, shared his experiences at local jails, and frequently sponsored others who were battling addiction. Michelle Plemon, his mother, recalled him as a kind man who constantly checked on everyone else.
In order to keep his older sister’s two small children out of the Department of Children’s Services’ care, Jessiah also showed his love and support for them by giving them a caring home.
