Jesse L. Kagan was born on September 26, 1978 in Willingboro, NJ. He succumbed to illness on Tuesday, March 22, 2016, having fought a courageous fight. He died at Virtua Hospital in Voorhees, NJ under the care of the dedicated PICU staff.
Jesse lived at home for 30 years until it was necessary to relocate to Medford Care Center. There he was surrounded by loving and dedicated people.
Jesse is survived by his parents, Ed and Susan Kagan, his sister and her husband, Dana and Aaron Kozak, his brother and his wife, Seth Kagan and Melinda Moskal, two nieces, Bria and Charlotte Kozak and one nephew, Miles Kagan.
Jesse inspired much love and admiration in his life. The people who helped care for him were drawn to his warmth. He will be missed by many. Jesse brought many caring, loving and dedicated people into the life of his family. We are grateful for this.
