Sally, you and I have never met, but I have such fond memories of Jesse.  He was briefly my companion in Uruguay and helped me so much.  I lost track of him over the years and from time to time I have tried to find him again, but without success until now.
I'm sorry that I wasn't able to see him again.
Jeff Booth,  Ogden

Dearest Sally,

     Mother and I want you to know we've had you in our thoughts and prayers.  You and Jesse had a great love and we know it will help ease the pain.  Please, accept our sympathy for you and your family.   

Love, Elena & Maria Lindsay

Sally,  I'm so sorry to hear of Jesses' passing. Sending you hugs and comfort from Dots' family.

Jesse..."keep the dawg"
"lay low, fall back to (the) basics, eat, sleep, and don't dig the hole any deeper. You cant get out of the hole until you stop digging it!"  always a man with a smile, a handshake, and a few encouraging words.  ;o)

I remember the man who shared a hand and story to a lot of us & for that I am greatful! He has been know and will be remembered for many years to come! I am grateful he shared his story!

To good ol' Jessie. The man who first welcomed me with a warm smile and had an uncanny way of making you feel good :) I will miss you my friend ..

Sally may you find comfort in all your wonderful memories with Jesse as he now rests in peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Your friends will always be close by when you need us.

I've loved Jesse, from the first moment I met him. After attending the memorial today I realized I was among many! I hope to learn from his sweet example of unconditional love. Jesse, you will be forever missed and never forgotten!!! 
All my love!

Jesse, you will be missed around the pool. It was always great to see you and talk with you. You were a great friend to all.

As much as I loved his Stetsons, I think the top hat he started wearing in the last few years will be my lasting image of him. I will miss his Malad stories. We could always count on Uncle Jess to tell us some of the more "colorful" stories of their mischief in Malad...My dad (Joel) tended to leave out some of the best details on the extent of his involvement, but Jess was great to set the record straight! 

There is no one  like Jess and he will be missed.

Jess and Sally, Words are insufficient to describe our friendship and what you have both meant to me over the last 25 years.  Thank you for helping save my life..  I will miss you horribly, but you will both live on in my heart forever..

The kindest, and notably coolest, delivery of wisdom and encouragement. Jesse's words always glowed with humor and warmth. He taught me the meaning of a solid handshake, while exuding a gentle grace that made me want to be a better person.

Harrison Family, I spent alot of time with Jess at Alchemy coffee, and my what an amazing man Jess was. Whenever I needed help with my sobriety there he was, when ever I had a serious conversation that i needed to talk to someone about there Jess was. Needless to say Jess could always make me laugh about one of his weekend adventures (like going to the Spray tan booth). Jess will always have a special place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.

Jess, thank you for making me sit a little taller in the saddle and touching my life. It was a pleasure to ride in your posse.

Dear Sally,
You know how much I love both Jesse and you. 
I am so sorry for your loss.
I am holding on to a flood of fun memories and stories,

My condolences to Jess's family.  I knew Jess over the last few years and I always used to tell him that he was the sharpest dressed man I know.  He would always laugh, shake my hand and tell me thank you.  Jess was a great friend and somebody I admire, love, and respect.  He will be dearly missed.

Jess always had away to make you laugh.  He will be greatly missed.

I send my condolences to Jess's wife and family. I am from Malad.  He was in most of my school classes growing up.  I remember Jess and Joel as great friends who always were cheerful.  I went with Jess to our graduation from MHS dinner and had fun with him.  We went many places and it was never boring. Thank you Jess for the good times.    Nancy Thomas Nalder, Salt Lake City, Utah

My condolences to Sally, Jan, and Nichole. Jess helped me in too many ways to list here. I've been pretty much home bound for the last six years, and Jess is one of the few who showed up to visit me, when Jess said he'd be here, he was, without fail. Jess took an interest in me, and I looked forward to his visits. I miss him today, and will miss him every day for the rest of my life.
