JJ always was a hard working man he loved to work and to help out, Here Jj was helping my brother in law and I reface this house with new siding, we worked long days under the hot sun but had fun every single day of it!!

Miguel Jj and i just enjoying our Friendship and a beautiful California sunset.

JJ had hands!!! Don’t be fooled yall!! here we are just playing around our friend Jason has always studied martial arts today he holds multiple black belts in different arts.

Jj and i became friends junior year of highschool he was basically my best friend ever since.

Of the many pictures I have of you kids, this one was always my favorite. It might seem odd because no one is looking at the camera but it’s a real moment that I have imbedded in my mind, still after all these years. I remember looking out the kitchen window and seeing you kids just sitting there talking about who knows what. I couldn’t hear a thing but your laughter and body language told me whatever it was you were saying to them, they were all ears. Your sisters were so interested in what you were saying and it was so sweet. I felt incredibly blessed in that moment to have you all there together and that they had you, their only brother. They loved you, looked up to you and will miss you. We love you and we will never be ok without you, life will never be easy without your presence. I pray that the Lord would whisper in your ear and tell you that we loved you, always have and always will. I look forward to the day that we will be complete again, and that you’ll be there to greet us with that beautiful big smile of yours that I’ve missed so much. We love you son. 

Dad, Erica & Sisters

JJ , you will be in our hearts forever and our love for you is unconditional. You were a spark of light in our lives and will truly be missed. You were everything to us. ❤️

Dear Gamboa Family,

I was heartbroken to hear about Jesse’s passing. I knew Jesse from middle school, and I’ll always remember him for his sense of humor, authenticity, and the light he brought to every room. Even all these years later, he stood out in my memory as someone who was truly himself—and that meant a lot.

Please accept my deepest condolences. I hope you find some comfort in knowing how many lives Jesse touched just by being who he was. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this incredibly difficult time.

With heartfelt sympathy,
George Gonzalez

First thing I want to say is that I’m so incredibly and deeply sorry for the loss of Jesse. I remember when we were in middle school, Jesse and my older brother were friends and I was friends with his sister. All four of us would meet on their street to ride our bikes to  school in the morning and ride back home together. Although Jesse seemed serious he would always make us laugh and laugh so hard. He seemed serious but he was in fact the biggest goof ball, as I can recall. Although we had eventually drifted apart as it happened when we start to grow up; I will always cherish the memories all four of us created together, like begging him to dance with us on the Wii or him trying to show off on his bike and ended falling off. I will keep Jesse and his beautiful family in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in love Jesse, you will always be missed.
