Licea, Barajas, and all of Jesse's family, we are truly sorry for your loss. Everytime we saw Jesse he would always go out of his way to make sure to greet you and made it a point to smile while doing so. We first met Jesse about 7 years ago through our brother-in-law Eric, his surviving nephew. He was one of the most hospitable, polite, and courteous people and we are fortunate to have known him. We hope you will find peace in your time of sorrow.

To Jesse's Parents, brothers, sisters and all extended family.
I just learned of Jesse's passing this evening. I was shocked when I read about it in the paper.
Jesse was a special young man. I remember Jesse from his days at Maricopa. He was on the team while I was an assistant coach. Being around him was an uplifting experience for me because Jesse always had a terrific attitude and a positive outlook about life. I recall that Jesse was one of the smallest guys on the team but he had as much heart as any 10 guys combined. I was always amazed at the way Jesse would just jump right in the game and we could count on him to give it all he had every time.
I'd like to say to the Licea family, please accept my deepest sympathy. I'd like you to know, that all of you are in my prayers. Lean on the Lord, in the tough days ahead. He will comfort you in your darkest hours.

God Bless you all,

Harold Presley

I have been in disbelief. Jess was too young to pass, yet young, he lived such a full life. We have been through so much together.....but never too much. There has been a thought of him that crosses my mind every day since the first day we met. Not one day has passed that I don't think of him. Jess, you have such a large loving family and number of friends that will miss you dearly. I pray every day that you are at peace. I hope you know that even though you are not physically here on earth, you will never be gone in my heart and mind. Jess, you have been such a large part of my life. You are part of what makes me the person that I am today. I will miss you every day and pray for you until I get to meet with you once again. This is just the beginning for you. You are at peace.
