I graduated from Algonquin and remember Jesse. What a great fella. I know he enjoyed many great years and through 42 years saw what life is all about. In fact through his music I feel lived a full life. God bless Jesse and you will not be forgotten.

I remember first meeting and connecting with Jesse over 15 yrs ago over great conversation while we played countless games of Yahtzee. This was the beginning of our friendship. Our shared love of and passion for music is also what forged a connection with such a beautiful soul and allowed our friendship to immediately blossom. We had so many adventures and good times over the years. I remember braving that blizzard in Worcester years ago with Jesse so we could get some Wasabi Pistachios as we felt those were the missing piece to our evening/blizzard survival kit. Jesse was a wonderful person - very kind, extremely talented and witty; among many other great qualities/characteristics - he was genuinely a good person who looked out for me and I will never forget that. When we first met I felt like a met a rockstar (that is because I did) and I was in awe of his skill on guitar and honestly pretty intimidated by it too even though he was extremely humble about his musicial abilities and never once made me like an inferior musician but instead encouraged me to play and was a great person to jam out with. I will surely miss all of that and just knowing Jesse was around. It is sad knowing there is no opportunity to randomly run into him again nor the chance to reach out to and chat again. The last time I saw Jesse was at habitat for humanity where we parted ways with a giant hug. I am soo sorry to hear of your passing Jesse - my thoughts and prayers go out to your family; I am so sorry for your loss. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to get to know you and could call you a friend. May you rest in peace my dear friend Jesse.

Jesse was a sweetheart .I met him at salvation army worc. 3 yrs. Ago. He loved music and shopping and the guitar.l had a long talk with him 2 weeks ago and he gave me a hug after I gave him a burger and a drink I was really worried about him so I went to look for him that day and I was very saddened by what a few people told me about his passing. I really tried to guide him in the right direction and he seemed to respond to my feedback. Being a therapist I really tried to convince him to get the help he needed and he started to agree. He will always be in my thoughts and prayers .,,Linda lapensee.
