Jesse Lee Freitas

I remember Jesse as a quarterback for San Diego State. What a shining talent! As a former player and coach myself, I could not believe the skills he had as a quarterback! Phenomenal athlete! I just.learned of his death, and my heart goes out to his family. Your with God now Jesse! Rest peacfully

I played third base behind Jesse on the St Barts 6th grade baseball team when I was in 5th grade. It was hardball, not softball. He would strike out the side with 9 pitches often. At Serra, his primary football receiver was Lynn Swann. At San Diego St, his primary receiver was Isaac Curtis. I got into a pick up football game with Jesse and some other St Barts guys one time on what is now the softball field at Aragon HS and caught a pass from Jesse. I think he trusted me because I didn't make any errors at third base even though I was a year younger. His dad was the baseball coach and put me on the team because none of the 6th graders could handle grounders on the grassless rock hard infield at the old St Barts field which is now the parking lot for the church. Very sad to read of his passing now. I have happy memories of playing ball with Jesse, and being coached by his father at St Barts. Also read about his Jesse At passing this year. Thanks for the lasting memories guys.

A great Man
Rest in Peace my friend

Jesse was more than sports, as he was a kind and towering figure who welcomed me to a new school and called me his friend. Although our lives took separate paths he touched so many peoples lives in a powerful way. Be a peace at last Jess. Bill Roake

I coached with Jesse at UC Davis in 1982. He was big part of that team's success on the field, but more importantly he was a huge part of the fellowship that team possessed. A great friend and a wonderful person. Sam Parker

I remember Jesse playing at Serra, Jesse is a Bay area Legend to me. Glad he is resting with The Lord and at Peace.
