Jesse was a funny, outgoing person. His blue eyes sparkled along with his big smile. Jesse was incarcerated due to big mistakes and was due to be coming home September 24, 2021. He was looking forward to coming home. He loved to play jokes on many of us. He thought he had a sense of humor, but most of us would disagree lovingly. Underneath that exterior, he was great help. If you were in need, Jesse would go out of his way to help.
Jesse was an awesome artist and alot of his work is on him. He loved fishing, eating, listening to music ,and drawing. He also could tear apart an electronic and fix it..most of the time. He was amazing at tinkering just like his Grampa Jerry Pickel. He was so young. He will be missed by so many friends and family.
