Jesse Brandon Beitzel

I remember you as a red-headed, freckle-faced kid, running around at the Beitzel family reunions. Tonight I'm going to dig out those old pictures to revisit fun memories.

I have a million memories that include Jesse! Him and Tom and Brian in my parents garage playing music...his love of art and music was amazing! We grew together and I will always treasure his friendship! May he be at peace now.

I am so sorry for your loss. I pray for all who knew and loved Jesse. May God give comfort and peace to all of you. I pray his soul is at rest. Unfortunately the funny little clown on the outside is not always that on the inside. God bless

One of the funniest people that I have ever met. No matter what the situation was he was always able to make anyone smile. RIP buddy.

I knew Jesse from school. From elementary through high school he was always the funniest guy in the room. No one could make me laugh the way he did, and no matter how boring the class was he always made it better when he was there. He was everyones friend no matter how popular or how weird they were. He had a truly beautiful soul and made the world a much better place while he was here. Your family is in my prayers as they navigate this difficult time.

There are lots of words I think of to try and give justice to who Jesse is-- an artist, musician, a writer-- but he is all of these and more. An absolute original, full of empathy, and a ready with a joke when you'd least expect it. I'm glad our paths crossed, even in such weird circumstances. But knowing someone like you has helped me to love people and love life, and I wish you were still here so that more of the world could know you. You were the kind of guy who gave me the clothes off...
