Oh Jesse, you were the sweetest boy cousin. So many stories, I cannot pick one. From age 3 you played with me and Mr Cloudy, catching frogs for Dad and Uncle Pete with Danny, or Jesse the fire bug when the fathers did the annual Spring grass burn in the field, to the sadness that struck us throughout the years, we laughed, reminisced, valued our few times a year visit, the endless teasing and joking, the deep conversations about growing old and caring for our parents which he did without complaining. Jesse was treasured by my family, especially Dad when he and Brett took him out on the deer run and brought a chair when it was his last hunt and was too ill to stand. The music years filled great music, band on the road, endless stories with Jesse chasing his ladies & serious Jesse trying to get his music promoted. Watching Jesse take such great care of Aunt Nellie with meal care with her diabetes making all the dishes to aid her in comfort, tending to the care of Brett, the house and the gardens, warmed my heart and all who knew this about him.
Jesse, you worked so hard in this life and deserved more from this life, but I take comfort in knowing you’re in a beautiful place now surrounded by love and your bounty will be very richly rewarded in all ways and you will want for nothing. In nature I will wait for you to say hello, I know you will find me and I will miss you and always hold you close in my heart. Rest in Peace Jesse <3
