I am so sorry for your loss, my condolences to the family and friends of Jesse. I only knew him a short while because he was dating Jessica, but He was a good guy. He had such a good heart and a great smile. It's so sad that he is gone so young from this world. He was so loved by everyone. My prayers are with you during this difficult time.

My heart goes out to the family and friends of Jessie's. I watched him grow up at Holy Rosary and he was such a good child. The world has lost a good soul, but he is now in Heaven with "Wiener", my friend and his father watching over all of us!!

Jesse he was a very special boy. I regret not being able to spend more time with him, as well as for not being able to get home to Wisconsin for his service. Family, please accept my condolences and know that I am thinking of you. I keep a picture of Jesse and Keith in my home and look at it every day. I will keep their memories close to my heart and only find solace in knowing that they are together. Rest easy Jesse - love Sara.
