It truly feels like just yesterday I ran into you in Oxnard. It has almost been 10 years. I know you’re up there being Jesse. Much love brother and hope to catch up with you again one day. 

Jesse was one of my most very favorite friends ever! We would light up every time we were around each other!

Ed, Marlene, Jeff, Sarah, and Little Jesse....Hello, this is Heather Wood, and I just came back to Ventura to My Parents for My Sister Raychel's " Celebration Of Life" on November 20th on what wouldve been her 45th Birthday. So needless to say I am sadly well-versed in the tragedy of losing a family member way, way too young. When I got to Ventura, I tried calling Jesse as I always do whenever I come back to Ventura....and when I didnt get an answer, My heart sank. Jesse and I ALWAYS made an effort to get together and visit when I came home, no matter what. Jesse was so, so special to Me. I have Him in My phone as : My Brudder Jess, and that truly what He was in My heart, a Brother that I never had and always wanted. My heart is truly broken  that I wont ever get to laugh with Him, or go on our crazy adventures again, or talk on the phone for hours like we did, or spend the better part of an entire day texting funny shit back and forth to each other, and cracking up for reals, cuz when Jesse and I fed off each other, I became a far funnier person. That was the magical thing about Jesse...He made You a better person just by being around Him. Jesse was one of THE sweetest, most loving, giving, positive, funny ,loyal,  non-judging, talented and just straight-up GOOD, GENUINELY GOOD-HEARTED people I have ever known. I still have never heard anyone have a bad word to say about Him, ever. And if I did....Id be the first one to put that person in His or Her place, because THAT is what Jesse would do for His friends in a heartbeat. I cant think of a more loyal friend I have been blessed to have in My whole life, honestly. Jesse watched out for His friends, and He always put the needs of others before His own. He always really meant it when He would ask "So, whats new with You?". It wasnt just a pleasantry with Jess, He truly cared and really DID want to know what was going on in the lives of His friends, because He really , genuinely CARED. Jesse never complained, was always upbeat, and damn, did He LOVE HIS SON!!!!! Little Jesse, I want You to know that You were EVERYTHING to Your Dad, BY FAR THE BEST PART OF HIS LIFE, and always remember, Your Dad loved You more than Life itself, even if it may not always have seemed that way becuase He couldnt see You every single day like He wished He could have. He talked about You all the time and any time He got any extra money, first thing out of His mouth would be 'I wonder what My Son wants or needs right now?" I helped Your Dad pick out quite a few Birthday Gifts for You over the years, and whatever He had to give You, it was never enough, He always wanted to give You more, please know that! I so hope that Jesse got to reconcile with You, Ed, I know there was a time that You two werent talking, and that always really, really ate Jesse up. He even was in talks with My Father regarding buying a new Guitar for You, Ed, hoping to bridge the rift between You two. He missed His Mom a lot too, and Jesse loved His parents and Brother a lot, no matter what the situation was at the time, please know that, all of You!! You obviously did something right, because You raised one of the BEST Men I know. Jesse will always Be My Brudder in My heart, and I will treasure the special friendship we shared. I know Youre up there in Heaven, rappin to My Sister and making everyone smile and just feel happier, just like You always did here on Earth. I Love You Jess, and Ill miss u forever. Thank You for everything, and for always having My back. love You Brudder, xoxo, love Heath

Until we meet again. Tell my dad hi for me.
