He gave his life to God at the age of 41. In his early years he worked as a cotton picker and went to work as a foreman for Beth and Hayes, before retiring from masonry at the age of 70.

Jesse enjoyed traveling with his brother Lupe and their band “La Familia en Cristo” for many years. After retirement Jesse enjoyed playing his accordion and guitars, reading his bible daily and preaching the word about God.

Jesse was a very serious man that did not like to play and if it was not about God or work he did not have time for it.

He was also a man that would give his shirt off his back if you were a person in need with no hesitation or questions asked.

His last wishes was for his kids, grandchildren and great grandchildren and his family to repent and to serve the Lord, so that one day we could all meet again in heaven.
