Jesse R. Gonzales

I am so very sorry to read of jesses passing!. I worked as a nurse in Centennial and had the privilege of meeting him there. Jesse always spoke so highly of his family and we had great times chatting about the oregon ducks n ohio state football rivalry. I will remember him fondly and will keep his family in my prayers.,God bless,Julie McGuire

Jan 27, 2016 Condolences & prayers to the Gonzalez family & to all the many loved ones Jesse left behind. I am truly sorry for your loss. Jesse used his time wisely here on Earth & made a positive mark. He was well-loved & will be missed. We went to South High together, he was class of 71, I was class of 72. Again, I am so very sorry for your loss.

I am sorry to hear about the passing of Jesse. My thoughts go out to the families especialy Betty, Toni and Gigi.

I was with Jesse during my first day of kindergarten at Hillside School. When I was in my 30's I saw him at Redondo Beach and he still remembered that I would color my cats blue during coloring time. During all of those years in elementary school he was always considerate towards everyone. I am so very sorry that he has passed away at such a young age. My prayers are with his family.

Dear Mrs. Gonzalez , Gigi, Toni and Family,

Sometimes words are difficult to find when such sadness is present, but that is why we have memories. Mine, in particular, is in the kind smile and wave I'd get back from you, Mrs. Gonzalez, whenever I was on my way to or from home on Loftyview. I was always guaranteed a kind gesture from your family and it's a memory of mine I treasure. Your loving son and most handsome brother Jesse was blessed with that radiant light, beautiful smile...

Jesse Gonzales was a great example/mentor growing up on Ridgeland Rd.!! I always admired the older guys of the neighborhood, Jess was a cool dude!! ( almost 4 years older than me ) Great little league memories!! God bless you my friends, the Gonzales family!!

My deepest condolences to Gigi and the rest of the family.

I am so saddened to hear of Jesse's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel watching over you. His smile will live on.

Dear Betty, Toni, Gigi, and Ray
First let me share my deepest sympathy for the loss of Jesse. I, as you are, am having trouble wrapping my head around such a grievous and premature loss of such a good and admirable man and friend.
So many of my first childhood memories are of Jesse. We were of the same age ( I was 26 days older) and the shortest kids in school so we were often paired together. Jesse was the typical small kid possessing speed, quickness and agility far beyond our larger,...

My deepest condolences to Gigi and the rest of the family. I haven't seen Jesse in years, but along with his infectious smile, I will always remember the way he'd throw back his head when he laughed that big laugh of his. He was a great guy!

God Bless you,
Sharon (Michalek) Doty
