In Memory Of Jesse Preston

It is with great sadness to be writing this. Jesse was a loving son, brother, cousin, uncle and friend.  Jesse had a laugh that we all will never forget, one that got you laughing just as hard along with him. He was always so positive, as if nothing could knock him down. He always had a way of getting everyone together and included everyone he could in his plans. He lived life to the fullest and made everyday a fun and exciting one. He was kind, thoughtful and incredibly generous. He would give you his last shirt, if you needed it. Jesse had an undeniable thirst for travel. He worked hard, so he could play hard on his trips. We all loved watching his photos and videos of what he was up to on the other side of the world. 

Unfortunately, Jesse suddenly passed away just short of returning from his latest adventure, in Laos. He passed away due to a massive infection. He had a travel companion with him, helping to keep him comfortable. Jesse will be having a Bhuddist ceremony prior to coming home to Canada. 

We are crowdfunding to help cover the expenses incurred for his memorial and bringing him home which is approxiately $5,000.

One of Jesse's favourite places was the beach. You could always find him in English Bay having a bbq, at Second Beach at a drum circle or traveling to a beach abroad.

So we also want to purchase a Memorial Bench to put in English Bay. Hopefully across the street from his place or near his favourite bbq spot.  A 10 year dedication costs $4,000 and a lifetime dedication is $25,000. 

Please, donate what you can, and pray that the Preston family gets through this extremely difficult time. Everyone's support is greatly appreciated.
