Jesse will be remembered by his friends and family for his long hair, love of music and sports, his kind heart, and his sense of humor along with his fast talking and love of colorful language. He had an infectious laugh and always knew how to make everyone else laugh. Jesse enjoyed cooking and spending time with friends. He loved his Michigan Wolverines, NY Giants, and NY Yankees. He also quite enjoyed an ice cold Miller Lite at Quaker Steak and Lube, Twin Peaks, or Hooters.

Jesse was caring, honest, and a true friend who would give the shirt off of his back for a friend in need. He will truly be missed by many.

The family would like to thank the CCU nurses at Baptist Easley Hospital for their kindness and for the great care Jesse received.
