It is hard to put into words the many ways that Jesse has touched our lives and how much he will be missed. I will remember all the time we spend together camping, racing motocross, Saturday night card games and our many trips to the casino. But most of all we will remember Jesse for his wonderful personality, his generosity and being the one who was always willing to lend a helping hand.
I was sad to see him leave us but I know he is in a better place. Our thoughts and our prayers are with you and your family. Jesse will always be with us in our memories.
He will be truly missed.

Aunt Sandy, Jimmy & Pam, David & Mary, and Family –
There are so many fond memories of Uncle Jesse that make me smile: All of us camping together, especially those infamous late night spaghetti dinners that Uncle Jesse would insist on making. All of us kids trouncing along behind Uncle Jesse in search of the seafood restaurant in Florida which ended being miles away – we actually stopped at McD’s on the walk back from dinner to get a snack! The many years of traveling around the state to the weekend motocross races and knowing that Uncle Jesse was right there to help us get ready and to cheer us on. And who could forget all the great stories that he shared with all of us!
Life and memories are built on the good times spent with family and friends – Jesse was both and will always be in our hearts and minds.
We will miss him dearly,
Eddie and Robin

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Jesse was the type of person one can only hope to meet, and call a friend. Although we mainly met due to the lack of my children's driving skills, I will definately miss him! Jesse helped all of us at one time or another - Carol, Jamie, Adam and Noah.
