You are loved always we will meet again in heaven!

Not very often at all, is the world blessed with such a vibrant, strong and beautiful soul as Jessi. The world was better because of her presence. It is most assuredly diminished without it.
We ALL loved you and your spirit. We ALL will miss you terribly.
May your shining soul be a beacon to all that strive to be more.
God SPEED sweet one.

To Jessi's Parents, Family, & Friends: So.. very sorry for your loss of your beloved Jessi. It's heartbreaking and life will never be the same without her. At least she passed away doing what made her happy!! Memories & pictures will help until you see her again! Sure you know that through God's words in the Bible; he gives us the hope of seeing our loved ones again. Hopefully.. this will be soon!! Thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.
Thank you & Take Care

The hardest part about life, is its ending. Do we pass on leaving behind our friends and family or do we hold on to every breathe we can and out live all our friends and family.
So we live our life with caution or do we just live our life as we choose .
Jessi, You were an inspiration to many. A hero to some, but a friend to all.
We will forever miss you. You will never be forgotten.
But you traded. Your life for your passion. In order to win. You have to risk losing it all.
Peace and love forever GODSPEED jessi

I was a huge fan of Jessi Combs, who I considered to be one of the greatest cable TV show hosts of all time and willing to do extreme sports both to satisfy herself and her millions of fans. She always seemed so friendly as well as intelligent as well as fearless in the motorsports feats she performed. There is no other entertainer or athletes to replace her. She was unique and wonderful. A trus pioneer as well as role model to be admired. She was great and now is with God and his loving embrace.
