This can't be real. These photos are AI-generated, random video screencaps - and this person never existed. I'm sorry, but I realise what I'm doing is wrong and I apologise if I am indeed wrong, but take a look at these photos and tell me they're real. They're all edited, they're all noisy and the face doesn't even look real. This person was some kind of Facebook groomer that took this too seriously as a practical joke to end a long-running charade. I want to be respectful, but this is not real at all. I'm sorry, but somebody had to say something. I "knew" this "person" on Facebook and they never were anything believable. Completely a fraud.

I was so sorry to hear about Jesse's passing. He was such a warm and talented person. I got to meet him about 5yrs ago when he was performing at some LGBTQ events in Putnam, Conn. We would also spend some time together as friends in Narragansett RI during a few summers as Jesse loved surfing and wakeboarding with his brothers. Jesse will always be an absolute legend as far as I'm concerned given the life he lived and the absolutely amazing support, love and commitment he always gave to everyone he met and especially those young and older in the LGBTQ community. Missing you my friend <3

I am not family so I can’t grieve as much, but my heart is sadden. James was always so kind to me, always talked me up to be a better person, he smile, his voice, and his life story is what I’m going to miss. Words can’t speak on how I truly feel, I miss James!!

I remember my first time talking to Jesse on Facebook back on December 31,2011 we were friends until 4 or 5 years ago when he unexpectedly blocked me then we tried our friendship and then it just didn’t work out it’s sad that I will never get to talk to him on earth and

What a terrible loss of a talented man, a great singer, songwriter and author. He battled bravely the misfortune that befell him because he was gay and became a vocal advocate for gay rights and had an outreach to many youth who were working through their sexuality. Time should stop for a moment to pay him tribute. He will be greatly missed by many. But his work will go on. Deepest condolences to his family and friends.

I’ve followed your journey on Facebook. I was always impressed at how genuine, kind, and mature. You advocated for LGBTQ rights and were not afraid to share your own stories as well. I always hoped to have had the opportunity to meet you when I returned home to visit family in CT. We will meet once again. Rest In Peace 💔

Jesse, thank you for being a fierce advocate in our community and I'm so sorry that your life was cut short by hate. You overcame that hate and shared with the world your love. You will be missed by your community and countless strangers who never knew you but your story has touched. My heart goes out to your family and friends and they should know they will forever have the LGBT community there to support them through this journey without you.
