YANKSTON THEODORE "YANKEE" JESKO

He was my closest friend, whom I thought of as my older brother. I looked up to him and admired his never wavering dedication to whatever was at hand and his tenacity to always find a way. He taught me many things about woodworking, horticulture (how we met), and life, in general. He was a shoulder on which to cry, a back on which to lean, an ear that always listened, an amazing mind that was devoid of judgement and a heart which overflows love and acceptance. His wisdom and advice still ring...

I remember giving him piano lessons and thinking he was doing so good only to find out he had an ear for music. He would get me yo play the lesson then he could play it but couldn´t read the notes. So he taught me. He was fun and energetic and I loved him. My condolences to family and friends

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of Yankee´s Family. May God hold you close and give you peace and comfort.

I remember Yankee running around the fair grounds in Clovis, he was a one man show but was at his best when he got his brother to join in. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. The heart ache will heal but there will always be a scar that never goes away. My love to all and prayers for happy memories.k
