On February 25, 2025, Jesse passed away unexpectedly while working in Colorado. Jesse touched and affected so many around him. He loved and cared for so many people. Jesse was always the one to go to for a huge meaningful hug and the best conversations. Lets help Mercedez and Lauryn with the financial expenses associated with their husband and father's funeral and other expenses during this difficult time so they can focus on the road ahead. Above all, please keep Mercedez and Lauryn in your prayers! God bless you all.

These are a few words from Mercedez shared on Facebook:

With a heavy, sad, and broken heart I want to share the loss of my husband, best friend and father to our amazing daughter Lauryn. Jesse has and will always be my person, my partner, my best friend. He has made the biggest impact during his short life. Thank you to everyone who has reached out and continues to show overwhelming support and sympathy. I am so grateful.
