“The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive” – Albert Einstein.
Jesse was an exceptional man and colleague, he was always willing to help others in any way possible and never asked for anything in return, unless it involved his computer or smart phone, he could never quite figure those two out, from trying to save a picture of Jeanette riding the mower and making it his background picture or trying to save all of the pictures of his grandbabies to a separate folder so he wouldn’t lose them, or when writing emails he would always ask me to proof read and add some “fancy words” to make it sound better. Jesse was a very hard working and dependable man, He always had a funny nickname for everyone, and always making jokes to keep everyone laughing. He was so proud to talk about his kids and especially his grandbabies, his desk walls were full of pictures of all of them and couldn’t wait to retire so he could spend more time with them as well as friends. Lilli and Bubba immediately put him back to work as their new bus driver, taking them to school and back home. In his career he worked with passion, integrity and energy, our sorrow is lessened only slightly with the comforting thought that we had the privilege to know and work with him. Jesse was also known as “the legend” he knew literally everyone, if you needed help with anything he knew a guy or gal and would pull out his phone, make a quick phone call and the problem was solved even it if wasn’t work related. We will miss his sayings “there is no budget for a stomach” “money in the bank” “I’m the legend” “I’m an athlete” just to name a few. Our lives will be empty in the areas that he had brightened for us.

My Gampi was many things to me and to everyone else. To me, he was my best friend, partner in crime, ..my Grandfather. I would go to him for everything and I would go everywhere with him. I used to tell him by the time I was 20 he was going to be tired of me. We always had the best time. He would tell me I wish you were 4 again, Bc I couldn’t argue with him. Back then he was a legend. The way he was, ther is no one like him in this world. My Gampi was one of a kind. I will miss him, all the water fights in the yard, all the jokes, all the smack we used to say to each other. I will even miss when he used to mess with my feet, so I would turn around and hold his hand while we were watching TV. January 30 is the day I lost a part of me, but I know he is in a better place and watching over us and he better be watching me on Thursday when I’m playing my game and making points so he can’t talk smack about me not being able to anymore ....I love my Gampi and I will make him proud so he can brag to GOD about how wonderful his Grandaughter is. I love you forever Gampi.

Jesse was a great guy, a great neighbor. If we were both outside he’d always holler my name “Jessicaaa” I’ll always remember. Or sometimes when I was out washing my car he’d come over and ask me how work was & how the Rangers are doing, he even taught me a better way of drying my windows on my car.. with newspaper lol, he seen I was using a lot of paper towel and he went back to his house and gave me a bunch of newspaper paper to use. He will be greatly missed in the neighborhood ❤️ Thoughts & prayers Jeanette, Brandi & family!

I will never forget the many Friday night dinners at Trevino's with Jesse, Jeanette, Louis and Bertha many years ago. He was always the voice of reason that usually always started long debates at the table and then he would grin and laugh at all the mayhem he had helped start. I am sad I lost touch with you guys and feel deep sorrow and sadness for you and your family from his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

To Jared and all of the Hernandez family, I am so so saddened to learn of Jesse's passing. The Dallas Golf crew loved him and he made us laugh each and every time we saw him in the shop. Jared, we wouldn't have known you if it weren't for your dad, and I know that you are all he could have imagined you would be. Keep living his legacy and sharing your smile and gift of laughter with others. All my best, Chris.

Jesse was a really good man and was a pleasure to work with. Jesse helped me out many times and was always willing to assist me every time I called. By reading the other tributes, everyone received special treatment from Jesse... that's just who he was! Rest in peace sir.

Jessie was a dear friend for many years. He truly cared for all people. I enjoyed golfing with him as much as he enjoyed the candies I made for him. Prayers to the family. In loving memory of Jessie I will pray.

Jesse, is a man that will be truly missed. I remember back when I first meet Jesse. All he talked about was golf and corn hole. Poor, Jesse could never get my name right or anyone else’s. He would call you everything except your name. Everybody had a nickname at the office. He was a great friend and person. Would help anyone out if he could. Just a great man. It’s Friday and he would also play his favorite song at work on Friday’s. Hell to the Naw Naw by Bishop Bullwinkle. All I can say is Hell to Naw Naw.... You will be truly missed my friend.

I’ve known Jesse for over 30 years. He has always been a caring, loving person. Him and Jeanette are like my second set of parents. They would both do anything for me if I needed it. When my dad got sick last year and I had to spend more time at my parents, Jesse would come over and mow my yard. He cut the trees. He was the best. When my dad past away in July, I told Jesse he had to step it up and play the role. He smiled and said he would do his best. He will be greatly missed.
Praying for you Jeanette and all the family. Love y’all !

The only reason Jesse would say I was his favorite sister-in-law is because he had me as "favorite" in email contacts and speed dial on his phone. Why?? He was always needing his resume updated, and always needed it YESTERDAY! We would be on the phone late into the night as I edited the resume on my computer; when changes met his approval I had to email the resume to the new boss and who-knows-who in the personnel office.
Rest in peace, Jesus. Keep watch over your boys.

On behalf of Spectrum ( Field Operations Chenault ) we would like to offer our deepest condolences to Jesse Hernandez and family. He will be missed but never forgotten.
Even though he worked in another department he always interacted with me and my peers before he went home.
The memory of him that mostly sticks out is when we were supervisors together around 2012-2013. Jesse disliked emails and escalations but boy did he love damage claims. He was AND STILL IS the damage claim king!!!!!! He handled all of our Damage Claims at Chenault just to stay clear of emails and customer escalations.
We love you Jesse Hernandez.

It all started when me a jarod Hernandez beat him at cornhole at his house , after that he was determined to get the game down and put us in our place , he came to my house to play all the time and we would give grief about his old butt trying to play cornhole and he would tell us (He’s a Athlete) and started taking names. I could never beat him after that and he would say ( That Old man did it again) .jarod and i tried to beat him other times at his house but he would smoke us every time . Going to miss you buddy (The Athlete)

Family, friend, best bud and all-around good guy. Ready to share any good bargain he ran across--shoes, cds, food. Helping with any chore we ignored beyond his tolerance--- dirty cars, hanging tree limbs, leaves needing raking ... Fun plus one to concerts and quick sightseeing trips, and visits to mutual friends ... best brother in law to hang with at Michael Bolton and Kenny G, "friends with bands" concerts... and last minute breakfasts. Thoroughly enjoyed his friendship forever! LOVE AND MISS YOU ALWAYS, JESSE! Will see you again!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I met Jesse when he, Joe Guzman, Karl Pickerel and I played the St. Plus X golf tournament way back and immediately liked him. I always enjoyed when we got together. He was the cool one of us. I'll miss him.

Golf tournament not sure what year it was in. I asked you to join. You and Santos and another family member and I won a Florida scramble tournament. We got trophies and prizes. I even won a Ben Hogan driver for closes to the hole. Lol
Thanks for carrying me and being patient with my non playing butt, I had never played golf in my life and have never played since then, but got a 1st place trophy that says otherwise Lol
At Sam Ocanas services when I saw you last you asked me about the driver. Yup still have it. Sharing a laugh.
Thank you for your encouraging words when I left to the Army in 79. Ill never forget you,, Sam O, Uncle John, and Joe Rivas for yalls advice back then. Thank you Jesse for always making me feel a part of the family. You will be missed
