Condolence: Your family is in my prayers. He provided a research opportunity for me while earning my Masters at Tarleton State. He was an amazing mentor and all around great man.

Condolence: I am so sorry to hear of Jesse's passing. I had to office next to him at the Weslaco Research and Extension Center, and later worked with him in his position at Stephenville. Jesse was bright, fun to work with and a font of knowledge on many issues. I thoroughly enjoyed interacting with him over the years. He will be missed. Please accept my sincerest condolences.

Condolence: Hi Shirley and family. So sorry to hear of the passing of Jesse. Even though we are cousins and have only been together a few times over the years, each time has left us with wonderful memories, lots of laughs and great times that we cherish. Please remember and cherish all the wonderful years, fun times and memories you have with Jesse and visit those memories often as a source of comfort. Also remember you have a huge family in another country that have you in their Hearts and Prayers. May God's many Blessings and Comfort be upon you all.

Condolence: I followed Jesse as Area Extension Entomologist at Weslaco and became friends with him over the years we served together in different parts of the state. I thought highly of him personally and professionally. While I am saddened by Jesse's death, I am heartened by his faith and that he is at peace in a better place.

Condolence From: Ken & Robin & family
Condolence: Dearest Shirley, Heather, Alan, Chloe, and Colby,
As great of a man Jesse was to so many people - that is nothing compared to the husband, daddy, father-in-law, and Grandpa that he was to you five- his most precious family. The only comparison close is the best friend and BROTHER OF THE HEART he was and will remain in spirit to Ken. We love you and are here. Thank you for sharing Jesse with us! Love you and deepest condolences & all our sympathy for this great loss.
