Jesse Carrillo Funeral Expenses

We are deeply saddened to announce the unexpected passing of Jesse Carrillo on December 31st, 2023, during his visit to Japan. Jesse was a beacon of kindness and selflessness, who would quite literally give the shirt off his back to someone in need.

Jesse was not only cherished by his friends and family, but also revered as a pillar of the community. He had dedicated the last few years to coaching youth hockey in Temecula, showcasing his passion and leadership both on and off the rink. Jesse was also an avid hockey player himself and helped lead his more recent team to victory. Jesse's contributions to his teams left a lasting impact on many lives and will never be forgotten.

In more recent times, Jesse had also started attending college to pursue a career in counseling, aiming to further empower and support others, something he was so incredibly talented at.

Aside from Jesse's kind nature, many of us knew him for his vivacious personality and his fun-loving antics. Anyone who encountered Jesse would leave with a good laugh and a story, because if there's anything we know, it's that Jesse always had a story to tell.

Another thing everyone knew and loved about Jesse was his passion for music and the punk scene (as if his mohawk, tattoos, and patched leather jacket didn't give this away). Jesse loved going to shows with his friends and had seen countless legendary acts, including his all time favorite, Morrissey.

Tragically, Jesse leaves behind his loving mother, Cindy Carrillo, his equally amazing brother, Joseph, and his wonderful three older siblings: Kassie, Kelly, and Kristopher. Not to mention the countless friends who would have considered him part of their own families. Furthermore, the Carrillo family, who are still mourning the loss of their father and husband, Greg Carrillo, from two years ago, are now facing another tragedy.

During this challenging time, the Carrillo family needs our support. We are raising funds to bring Jesse home and cover all associated expenses, providing some relief in their moment of grief. Every contribution will go directly to the Carrillo family.

Please join us in honoring Jesse's memory by helping his family in their time of need. We will also keep everyone updated on details pertaining to Jesse's memorial service as they come available.
