We will all miss this wonderful, strong and kindhearted man who never met a stranger and who had a special way with every horse he came in contact with as well as us humans. Loved and respected by everyone who knew him there aren"t any real words to express our sorrow and yet I know he is in heaven with his beloved wife and others that have gone before.The tears we shed tell of the loss in our lives and yet someday we will meet again.God richly blessed us the day Jess came into each and everyone of our lives. He touched us in many ways. Our thoughts are with the family and friends and all who knew him. As the rain falls to wash away our sorrow so Jess begins his journey to Heavens Gate. God Speed, Jess..We will always miss and love you
