Jesse Jaime Obituary - Death Notice and Service Information

LOCATION

Henderson, Nevada

Jesse Jaime and his twin brother Joel were inseparable, and in February they left with the same Marine company to fight in Iraq. "He was a loving guy, always happy. He always made people laugh," Joel Jaime said. "He was the nicer one." Jesse Jaime, 22, of Henderson, Nev., was killed June 15 when a homemade bomb blew up a Humvee near Ramadi. He was based at Camp Pendleton. The sons of Cuban immigrants, Jesse and Joel had the same childhood friends and often played football and street hockey. Jesse was especially fond of hockey, and loved Wayne Gretzky. Both participated in the Navy Junior ROTC program in high school. For a short while after graduating in 2001, they went separate ways, with Joel joining the Marines and Jesse attending a technical school in Phoenix. But Jesse soon dropped out of college to join his brother. "He joined the Marines for me," Joel said. Both brothers had planned to leave the Marines and become Las Vegas police officers. Joel Jaime said he is nearing the end of his tour and soon will be discharged. Jesse Jaime is also survived by his parents, Ricardo and Iliana.
