Tio Jesse was a strong Pilar to so many. He was a strong, kind, humble, loving person. His acts of love will never be forgotten. He was always for education and played a big role model to strive for the best! May he now Rest In Peace and be rewarded for all the good he did and effort to spread love and hope! Prayers for all the family during this time. -Henriquez Family-

I knew Jesse from when we both worked at LBJ. A good friend and colleague. We would sometimes go to Mr Rivera's (Principal) and enjoy some good fellowship with the guys from school. My sincere condolences to his daughters. I knew both of you and taught swimming to Jessica when she was around 6 or 7. Prayers to the family.
