His memory will be cherished by a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends, all of whom were touched by his kindness, warmth, and generosity.

Jesse will be remembered for his infectious smile, joyful laughter, and the boundless love he shared with everyone fortunate enough to know him. His legacy of kindness, faith, and dedication to family and community will continue to resonate in the hearts of those who were blessed to be a part of his remarkable journey.
