Condolence: Just wanted you to know we are thinking of you during this very sad time. Hold on to all those good memories--you had so many fun adventures together through the years. Your loss is unimaginable, but your life together as a family is unforgettable. Jesse was an amazing and brilliant young man.

Condolence: Jesse was a fantastic friend and person. I remember being blown away that he didn't let a disability define or alter who he was. He had an amazing blend of intellect and humor. We never had a dull conversation. Jesse will forever be in my thoughts.

Condolence: Very sorry to hear of your loss. I remember seeing Jesse at many concerts here in the Valley like Wildwood Sounds in Del Norte and concerts at Cole Park in Alamosa. He will be missed.

Condolence: Dear Steve and family, Although I was only acquainted with you, I was aware that your family had many challenges, and, I heard only positive words about how you handled them. I want to extend sincere sympathy to you. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Condolence: On behalf of the Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice, I would like to extend our deepest condolences to your family for the loss of Jesse. We are all honored that he directed My Name is Rachel Corrie, and are so appreciative of his efforts to make the world a more just place. His clear affinity and zest for life are to be admired and carried on in the work we do every day. Thank you, Jesse.

Condolence: Jesse and I were in many of the same creative writing classes at ASU about ten years ago. I remember we challenged each other in Aaron's class to write the truth that only we could know about. Coming from a family with more than its share of disabilities myself, I was always inspired by and grateful for Jesse's grit, humor, determination, and insistence at being treated as normal in this beautiful and flawed world. I will miss him and I'm so sorry for his family's loss.

Condolence: So Sorry to learn of the loss of your beloved son. He should be an inspiration to all who have problems and go on to do many things and have a wonderful outlook on life. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. God bless you all.
