Very saddened to hear that Jesse passed last December. I worked closely with him for many years, attended his first wedding and proudly held his first son Brett on my lap many days while he worked.
Very proud of him when he graduated from Marquette and his desire to work and excell at the highest level. I met his new family several years ago and was overwhelmed with his desire to adopt children setting an example that few could match. RIP Jesse, you will be missed.

The world is less with the loss of Jesse. He was part of what may have been the favorite night of my life.
I'm thankful to have met him and been impacted by him.

My sincere condolences to the Winiecki family. I met Jesse after joining Crossfit nearly 10 years ago and he was such a wonderful person eager to help everyone improve their life physically and mentally. I was an amateur and he never looked down on me, he simply tried to help with encouragement. May he rest in peace with god.

We sure will miss Jesse. It was awesome to be a part of his life from the early 90s and onward. Had so many great times in our college days and beyond was honored to be a part of your wedding in Hawaii in 2015. That was special. Brother, you will be missed. Mandy, we will be praying for you and your family. May you feel Christ presence today and every day.

Oh Jesse what a sad time for everyone. I am so sad for your family's loss. I know I wouldn't change a thing. I don't know how God picks his people but I know you will be Hunters guardian angel, all of your kids. I am so blessed that I got to meet you and share the moments we did. I still remember June 29th 2017 like yesterday and I am happy that you and Mandy shared a love and family that I know is a one of a kind. May your love live on in the kids and always in our hearts and memories. Love you all

I was one of the original members of Jesse´s gym in Gurnee. I gained so much from him and remember laughing a lot through the torture of CrossFit. The world lost a genuinely good man. Sending condolences to Mandy and the kids.
