Obituary of Jesse G. Krutz

Jesse George Krutz, 37, of Sevierville, TN (formerly of Amsterdam, NY), passed away tragically on Friday, October, 27, 2017. Jesse had moved to Sevierville with his girlfriend, Vanessa Rodriguez, where they were raising their 5 month old daughter, Leilani Krutz. He was employed by ECO Cleaners Solution in Knoxville, TN, and enjoyed all his free time raising his daughter. Many will remember Jesse with admiration for his sense of humor and loyalty. His loyalty was huge as well when it came to his New York Buffalo Bills team. His whole world was his daughter, Leilani, whom he lovingly called "Baby Doll", and the woman who changed his whole life, Vanessa. He wanted to be the kind of father his daughter would be proud of, and he certainly was that! Jesse is survived by his loving girlfriend, Vanessa Rodriguez, whom he planned to marry, and their daughter, Leilani Krutz; his parents, Claude (Deborah) Krutz of Amsterdam; Denise Damphier Arthur (Kevin) of Florida; his four brothers all of Amsterdam: Claude (Jolene), Justin, Shayne (Nicole) and Adam (Tiffany); his paternal grandparents, George and Katherine Krutz of Amsterdam; his maternal grandmother, Irene Damphier of Sevierville, TN and the late Lester Damphier; and Edward Majewski and the late Phyllis Majewski of Broadalbin; several aunts, uncles, cousin, nieces and nephews. The family will receive relatives and friends at Betz, Rossi, Bellinger & Stewart Funeral Home, 171 Guy Park Avenue, Amsterdam, on Saturday, November 4th, 2017 from 4-6 pm.
