I just learned of Jesse's passing from a notice in our law school alumni magazine. I was reminded of the time we spent together as law school classmates and DA interns. Jesse was a pleasure to work along- side. Bright, funny, and energetic. My deepest sympathies to his family. He will be missed.

I was shocked and saddened to hear about the loss of such a wonderful person. My prayers are with Jesse’s family. Jesse was passionate about his work, and about helping other people. I am thankful for his help and I will remember him always as someone who supported me when I needed help the most. I appreciate all he has done for me and I know he is looking upon us fondly.

Michelle, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones. It came as a shock to me when Lucrisia told me. I will always remember the fun times I spent in Sacramento hanging out with you, Jesse, Noah, and my sister Lucrisia. Jesse's smile and fun nature will be missed. Love you lots, Juana

Jesse reminded us to live life to the fullest, and he did this by example. He was one of my favorite classmates in law school because his comfortable nature was a breath of fresh air among all the stress. He brought laughter and sincerety to our group of legal interns at the Sac. County D.A.'s office. I'm deeply saddened that he's gone, and so sorry that I didn't stay more in touch. His life energy will live on through each of us who take the time to enjoy life, like he did. My sympathy to his parents, wife, and children. You are all in my prayers.
