Jesse was a great supervisor. I worked with him in the oil fields many years ago. My condolences to the Leal family.

Mary, Jesse Jr. and Angela,
Our most sincere condolences on the loss of Jesse.
He was an awesome cousin and we always enjoyed visiting with him. I was lucky enough to visit with him on the phone exactly one week before his passing. We discussed our family's history and he expressed his desire to come to Texas again. We had a long conversation and I will treasure it always. I will miss my primo. So sorry that circumstances prevent us from being with you at this time but you are in our thoughts and prayers. May perpetual light shine upon him and may he rest forever in peace with our Heavenly Father.
