Garcia (Michelle), Belinda L. Whaley (Mark), Anivette Y. Garcia (Mark), and Melissa I. Ciechanowicz (Adrian).

Jesse grew up in a household filled with the love of his mother father and six siblings. Jesse got to experience life outside of McAllen Texas quite often because his Father Vince was in the military. Jesse got to travel the world with his siblings and always had many stories to tell. When Jesse grew up, he had his first daughter Nicole Duke. Jesse later moved to San Marcos Texas, had his second daughter Jessica Garcia. After some time, he became a property manager at multiple housing complexes and married his wife Angela Garcia. Jesse and Angela were married for 10 years and worked together to establish JAG Enterprises. Jesse’s most recent occupation was providing handy man services as the business owner of JAG Enterprises. Besides his devotion to work and his family, Jesse enjoyed doing a variety of activities in his free time.

When Jesse was in his early adulthood, he took an interest in dirt bike racing, where he frequently had a mouth full of rocks. As Jesse grew older, he enjoyed going to the Horse Races at Retama Park in San Antonio with his daughter, and niece. He also loved to play golf with his brothers. Jesse loved the outdoors and would frequently go visit his daughter Jessica in college in Corpus Christi, but really it was to go fishing. He was also an adrenaline junky who loved to hit the theme parks in hopes of riding the biggest scariest roller coaster. Jesse and his daughter Jessica spent a lot of time at Six Flags riding the Rattler, and at Sea World riding the Steel Eel. Jesse was not only a man filled with a variety of interests, but he was also a man with a wide personality.

Jesse was a giver. There were many times that Jesse would make bags filled with food and money and hand them out to the homeless in different towns. Jesse cared so much for others and can be described as one that would take the clothes off his back to give to someone else in need. In addition to his caring personal, Jesse also loved to joke. Anytime you came into contact with him he’d say you have something on your shoulder and then say “gotcha”. Jesse loved to cracks jokes and play pranks on anyone and everyone. His laugh would fill the room, and his smile would brighten your day. He was also extremely focused, he always had to be doing something productive or he felt that he was slacking. Whether it be a home project, cleaning something, doing work, or even checking his messages he always had to be working.

Unfortunately, Jesse was diagnosed with Liver Cancer and spent 5 years ongoing a variety of treatments and medications in order to combat his sickness. Although his immune system was compromised, he continued to work harder than ever until he lost his life to his cancer.

Jesse, as described, was a devoted father and husband, a hard-working individual, and a man with a wonderful personality. He will be dearly missed by his family and friends and will never be forgotten.
