In Loving Memory of Jesse Smith

It is with broken hearts that we share the sudden and tragic passing of Jesse a beloved son, brother, cousin, friend, uncle, devoted partner, and proud father.

Jesse was the kind of person who would give the shirt off his back to help someone in need. A quiet, steady presence, he worked hard every day not just on the job, but at home, where he made sure his loved ones were taken care of. Jesse was the heart of his home, always checking in, always giving his all.

Jesse’s greatest joy was his family. He was a loving and hands-on father to his son, Mathias, who has unique medical needs. Jesse showed up for every moment, his heart went into fatherhood and making sure Mathias knew how deeply he was loved. He also stepped into the role of a devoted stepfather to three amazing kids who looked up to him and felt his love every day. Jesse treated them as his own always present, always supportive, always proud.

His passing leaves a devastating hole in the lives of his partner River, his children, and his mother, Colinda, who now faces the unimaginable heartbreak of losing her son. We hold her especially close in our hearts as she navigates this profound grief.
