It is hard to believe it has been 3 years since you left.   I still think about working with you at FPL.   You deserved all the rewards you received.  You were a kind and compassionate person and I really feel you would have taken your shirt off to help  a person who had nothing.   You were a great father, grandfather, and you were great with your wife Patsy.

Dear Patsy:  My sincerest sympathy on your husband’s passing.  I just read about it and saw his tribute video online while searching for Commonwealth Staff and Alumni and am very saddened to learn of his passing.  Jesse was a very special friend, co-worker, and my (meticulous) embalming instructor at Forest Park Lawndale in 1993 while I was attending Commonwealth Institute for my dual license, which I still hold in the state of South Carolina.  Jesse was like a family member to us,  I’m sure you’ll agree, when he worked at ESCORT, INC.  for my sister Irma Allen and her husband Fred.  He has (still has) a beautiful family whom he loved so much and  was much loved in return.  I’m sure that everyone he knew misses him dearly.  May God bless you and his family and may you be comforted every time you think of him and smile at the thought of all the love and respect he had for each and everyone of you. “ Vaya con Dios, my friend.”     -Mary Martinez Rubio and Family-

It is hard to believe it has been one year.   Sending Hugs and Love to Patsy and family.   R.I.P. my friend. 

Rest In Peace Jesse 🙏
Love Gilda Welch  and family 🌹

I was honored to work with Jesse over the past few years. I appreciate his dedication and the respect he earned over a long and impactful career. Family, thank you for sharing Jesse with so many other families when they needed him most!

Patsy,

My condolences to you and the family. My heart goes out to you at this time because I know he loved you all so much.  I was privileged to work with Jesse at Bellaire Southwest and Advantage Funeral Home for 20 years. He always had a smile on his face and some witty comments. I will forever be grateful to him for taking the time and showing me to be a better funeral director. He was not only our manager he was also my friend. I am so glad that we were able to visit with him and just laugh a few days before his passing. I will miss his smile and laughter but above all his friendship. May you rest in peace Jesse.

To The Moreno Family. Mr. Moreno was a pleasure to be around and work with. His professionalism/loose and comical personality made it great to be around him. He will be missed. May the GOD of Comfort watch over the Moreno Family. You are in our prayers.

TO: The Moreno Family,
I was blessed to have known Jesse while working at the Houston Service Center as a Dispatcher. Jesse was a very kind gentleman and always made sure he said hello while visiting the Service Center. I will always remember him as that caring person he was. 

R.I.P. Jesse Moreno
Your friend always, Allen Earnest

Friends for years at the Bellaire Coffee Shop. Visiting my husband when he was in a nursing home.  Jesse was a fine man and will be missed.

My Uncle Jesse was the biggest pain in the butt who I loved dearly. He was the joker and he loved to grind my gears. He would call me and when I would answer he would tell me 'oops I meant to call my other niece, Stella. ' I know I was his favorite there's nothing he wouldn't do for me or my kids. I love him so much and I will miss him so much. The greatest gift that he could have given me was when he told me he was proud of the woman I have become. I wasn't the easiest teenager to get along with but as a woman he loved my company 🥰🥰. 

Dear Patsy & Family,

I am so sorry for your loss.  I had the privilege working with him at Forest  Park Lawndale.  He was  such a joy to be around.  Always caring and smiling.    I loved him like family.   May God send his angels to be with you all in this time of sorrow.    Sending prayers.  ❤️🤗🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

To my Houston Family,

My heart goes out to you all! Over the last few years, I had the pleasure of being more involved with my Houston family. Tio Jesse reached out to my brothers and I and I can’t be more grateful! He was very heartfelt and real during our conversations and he donated toward and sponsored several of my foster dogs. I’m so glad that we got to know each other a bit and regret the time that we lost. Although we are states away from each other, you are all in my thoughts and heart. ❤️

Dear Patsy and Family

I'm still at a loss for words in learning that my dear friend Jesse Moreno had passed away. Still in shock and with a heavy heart I want to express my most heartfelt condolences to the Moreno Family and Friends. Jesse hired me into the funeral business when he was the assistant manager at Forest Park Lawndale back in 1989 and introduced me to the art of embalming and for that I will always be grateful. Every time Jesse and I spoke he always took time to ask me how my wife and boys were doing that's just the type of caring person he was then we would talk business. Now Jesse and I didn't always see eye to eye in the early years but as I matured in the funeral business I later found out Jesse was always about families first no matter what. Rest in Peace Jesse 

My Dad was A GENUINE FATHER .  He exceeded the definition, as unlike you see in these present times,  He never missed a milestone  within my brothers & I life.  He was present and waiting for all his grandchildren & great granddaughter’s  birthday into this world.   I know he will be there when his great grandson arrival in November, with tears of joy & his given nickname as he did before with all the others.  He NEVER hesitated one bit to be there for us all when life through us with a curve ball.  He would go above & beyond for us.  He wore his heart on his crisp white shirts and suit jackets. I will miss you so dearly Dad, but I know your presence will still with us all  and whispering guiding  words to each of us as you ALWAYS did.  As we were told,  the boys and I will take care of Patsy & Mom like we promised you.  As I would always approach him...”Hey Dad...”....I love you forever and always.

Our old Bellaire Coffee Shop crowd .... Jesse was always there. Smiling, funny, ready to tease Tommy.... a light is gone.

Patsy, please accept our condolences for Mr. Moreno. The times I was in his presence he would always encourage me and give wisdom. The last conversation we had was concerning a family. He said to me, "We want to help the family and earn their trust" that really fastened to me, earn their trust" I shall never forget him.

Dear Patsy,
I offer heart felt condolences for the sudden loss of Jesse.  May Jesus wrap His loving arms around you giving you peace and comfort.  

Patsy and family , I was saddened to hear of Jesse's passing and at such a young age, he was a very good guy and will be very much missed by many, our prayers and thoughts are with you all at this very difficult time.

My condolences for you and your family.   Patsy and Jesse’s family you are in our prayers.  

Love. You 
Lulu Esparza Garcia

When I think of Jesse the words genuine kindness come to mind. I was privileged to know and work with Jesse for the past 19 years and every second I spent with him was a pleasure filled event.  Jesse was a funeral director's funeral director. The care given to families was his top priority, and his demeanor made it obvious to those around him as well as those he served. His contributions to his family, his profession and his community will be greatly missed, but he leaves a treasure chest of great memories as the legacy of a great man. I'll miss you my friend.

Patsy and family, I am so sad to hear about the passing of Jesse. I am so glad I got to know him.  Mike and I send our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to you.  May God wrap his arms of Love, Strength and Comfort around each of you during this time of sorrow.

Jesse and I go way back...Austin high school.He was like a big brother to me,always had my back. Big ❤️,Big Smile. Even though we didn't stay in touch that much,I knew I could always count on him! He was there when I married my wife. Sure gonna miss him😔 RIP big brother...

My sincere condolences to Jesse's family. I will miss him. We were able to work together for several years. During that time, I have many fond memories of Jesse. He always knew how to make me laugh. 


Uncle Jesse was always with the jokes.  Sometimes, only funny to him, but nonetheless, he was the guy trying to make light of situations and not everyone has the nerve to do that.  When I had not seen him for some time, it was kinda awkward to say Hello for me.  But Uncle Jesse would always make it a point to come over and ask how I was doing and how the family was doing. Then, it was just like the old days for us.  Once when I was little, he was getting after Christine and I told him "don't talk to her like that".  He then got onto me for talking to him like that but later apologized to us both. He was tough but really a kind soul.  I will miss him popping up at family gatherings.   Christine, Joe, Michael and David, you have our deepest condolences. Find peace in those treasured memories  - they will bring a smile. That's what Uncle Jesse would want for you. Love!
