Jesse wrote his own biography. People who knew him, know his actions spoke louder than any life story I would write.
As his mom, I will say he was a great kid! A smiling baby, sometimes difficult teen, responsible young man, funny!, adorable when called for, scary smart!, loved music, anime, and his friends. Didn't care what people thought of him, yet if you were the few of "friends like family group ", he'd do anything for you. He loved horror movies, old Godzilla films, Alan Watts, and talking about life.,even if he thought his sucked, he would encourage others to see the positive. Most of all, he loved marijuana! Talking weed, describing weed, having you smell it, look at each particle, color, shape, density!
He was quick to defend people and animals. Loved ramen noodles, hated pork chops and seafood, love to learn (as long as it was his choice of subject), loved to teach (even when not asked lol), hard headed, stubborn, not quick to say sorry, yet when he did you knew he meant it (even if in passing "yeah sorry for being a jerk" way) hated being ignored, yet at times just wanted to be alone. Loved psychology and studying human behavior. Loved cars, trucks, (when he was 2 tractors were his thing! His first 5 years book I have, I gave up writing in when it got to mistief bc there wasn't enough pages! He kept me on my toes for sure! As he grew, cops made a lot visits, yet he did slow down becoming an adult. He took bills seriously, didn't want children, but when he fell in love, he fell hard! (Although not often, I only know of 2, 3 at the most and that's pushing it!) He resented never meeting his real father but talked on the phone/social media, would say he didn't like his step dad yet would get in someone's face if they said something out of way about him, adored his sisters and no matter how tired he was when I would drop him off at his house, if his little sister was waving goodbye, he would keep waving till she couldn't see him anymore. (That's her favorite memory). He loved icecream cake for his birthday up until his birthday and even though he requested it, I don't think he ate it. (Now that I think about it, I should have made a giant weed brownie) His absolute best friends was Derek and Taylor and Heather (basically grew up together). Derek's dad was only person I think he feared yet respected. Loved Mika, Kamari, and too many names to mention. He loved his Uncle like a 2nd dad and would fight like brothers, his favorite cousin was Katilyn, best friends as soon as they met!
I'm making this too long but I have to mention John his former roommate. They were great friends and perfect roommates! He worried about him like a family member and never heard a bad word about him. Never heard a bad word about Doug either (roommate before John). Sky was special to Jesse right until his final day . He didn't introduce me to many, I got the chance to meet her and wish I could have seen what they would have became. Alissa, I never got a chance to meet you ( if you're reading this). I don't know how to get in touch with you, but if you want to comment on here, please do. Okay Jesse would be upset that I've said as much as I have. For all out there who knew him (even a little) Please keep his memory alive and post memories of him! Doesn't matter what it is, no judgment! (Just no porn/sexual..still his mom and that's just weird!) If you made it this far, thank you for patience and understanding. I love to talk about Jess❤
