Jesse was a great husband and father. He loved to be outdoors fishing and watching his sons sporting events. He was a handyman and loved to work on cars. His favorite thing to do was to watch the Texas Rangers play on TV and take his family to the Rangers games. He was a caretaker to his wife and also helped many loved ones during their times of need.
