JESSEGEE! When we first met, we didn’t like each other for some dumb reason that I don’t even remember. One day at school, we decided to confront each other, but instead we started cracking up within the first 15 seconds - little did I know this was the beginning of one of the closest friendships I have in my life. I use present tense because your spirit lives and I feel it everyday.

In a room full of 1000 people, you can find Jesse in mere seconds by his infectious voice and laugh. The absolute life of the party, the star of the show - and you wouldn’t want it any other way. 

I am so glad I kept our hundreds of voice messages, pictures, voicemails, and videos together. I can’t tell you how often I look back on them and crack up - I don’t think anyone makes me laugh as much as you do. Whether we’re hanging out in a Taco Bell parking lot or going on trips, it’s guaranteed a great time if JG is there. 

To his family: I know words seem so insignificant right now but I promise it gets better with time. Those tears will turn to laughs soon enough. I know he had a funny way of showing love, but never doubt for a second that he loved you guys with all of his heart. 



 Jesse you were my boy since day one.I never doubted you brother everything you said you wanted to accomplish,I always had your back because I knew that anything you had your mind set you were going to succeed. I’m going to miss not being able to call you and have a good laugh . We always wanted the best for each other.I love you Jesse you were not just my best friend but my brother. You will always be with me wherever I go. I miss you,  and i will never forget you.  

Jesse was a past football teammate he was always happy and always made sure I was okay and always shared a joke with me you will truly be missed man! I can’t believe you are gone! 

Jesses last day on earth I picked him up from his house located not even three minutes from Hollywood Blvd. He got into my car with his big smile and was telling me over and over how happy he was that morning. The rest of the day we went shopping at a few of his new favorite stores since he moved to Hollywood. (Maxfield Los Angeles & Chrome Hearts Hollywood)

I usually try to avoid fast food but Jesse was a huge fan of McDoubles with no onions and no pickles. He begged me to take him there and wouldn’t take no for an answer. I’m so glad I did. 

Jesse was known by all of the store owners near Sunset Blvd & La Brea. His spirit left a mark on all that came in contact with him as he was truly unlike any person on earth. 

Jesse worked in the Netflix film studio for at least 6 months before leaving to work a serving job at a very elegant country club located in Downtown Los Angeles called City Club LA.

I dropped Jesse off at work sometimes and he would sneak me up to the 51st floor where his job was located just to see how well he was doing. 

I will forever miss him and I pray his soul reached a peaceful end. He will not be forgotten any time soon & his roomate Noah Ljubic and I will continue to do things in honor of our beloved brother JG. 

Thank you for everything Jesse. 

I danced so much with you at my wedding. We had a blast. It was always a good time with you. And your smile was always there.
