Jesse will be truly missed. He was such a loving, caring, honest, and hysterical person. He often had me laughing with his jokes and I will miss his smile! My deepest condolences go out to Jesse's loving family and friends. I feel honored to have known him.

Jesse was a valued member of Passageway and was a friend to everyone he met. He loved going to social activities and always had a kind word for others. Jesse always kept our vans looking great, thanks to his great detailing skills. He loved to kid and tell a joke and could get others to laugh very easily.
I know that Jesse will be missed by all of us at Passageway. There will be a gap in our family of friends and colleagues where Jesse stood. We wish Jesse's family peace in the positive memories that we will all will cherish. We are thinking of you at this difficult time.
Most Sincerely,
Linda Oleson-King
