It’s been so long since I’ve got to be around your sassiness, I hate it. We love and miss you tremendously still Gampie!!!!

Jesse I was sitting here in my office, all alone, and remembering all your funny jokes and comments but most of all your generosity and always positive comments!   I could always count on you to come by and just say hello and make me laugh! I will always remember you in that way and I am sorry we did not get to spend anytime on the golf course after your retirement. I was really looking forward to those lessons! You will be greatly missed and I will keep you and your family in our prayers. 

“The Lord Bless you and keep you always. May the Lord make his face shine onto you and be gracious to you and may the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace”

My dear compadre, Mike and I Miss you so much.  We still cannot believe you are gone.  We were so looking  forward to your retirement.  You certainly earned it!  We are missing you so much!  We will miss you at Christmas and going to the casino .    I pray you are resting in peace.  We will miss your smile, your generosity and who you were as a great human being!  Love and miss you compadre!😢

Uncle Jesse didn’t always say much, but when he did you knew you were gonna laugh. As a kid, lots of the adults used to say “don’t listen Uncle Jesse” (we listened anyway) because Uncle Jesse wasn’t afraid to tell a joke about anybody. Jesse was good at seeing everyone as just people. That was one of my favorite things about him. If you were family, you were loved. And Jesse had a big family and a whole lot of love to give. He was a good man who loved and supported many, and I know our family is better for having him in it. I bet heaven has a beautiful golf course and a comfortable napping couch just for him- and he deserves it!

After reading all of the wonderful comments about Jessie, there is really nothing I can add!  He had a wicked sense of humor and I considered him to be a good friend for the past thirty plus years.  He will sincerely be missed!

A few years ago, Jesse gifted me with a rather grotesque state of some creature playing the guitar.  He said, "This reminds me of you."  That was Jesse's way of saying that he really appreciated my talent on playing the guitar.  He was a man who could and would show his appreciation for people and things he cared for.  I really don't remember hearing much in the way of negative from Jesse's mouth.  He was always kind , supportive, and encouraging to those close to him.  I could see that with his immediate and extended family.  Once, when I was visiting his family in Texas, he took me to a music store.  I saw a twelve string guitar that I really liked, but believed I could not afford.  He, "Buy it or you will regret it."  I bought it and have never regretted it.  Thank you Jesse!  We spent brief, but good times together.  I will play you some good songs from down here  RIP.

Uncle Jesse Bear was one of a kind. If I had to describe him in a few words I would say he was a chill, funny, and a loving man. He always seemed so patient and calm whenever I saw him. He had his own brand of "Jesseisms" (some of which are best said only by him). You could often find him on a couch during family get togethers and if you asked him if he was napping he would respond "just playing dead". He liked teasing others and himself and he liked it when others teased him. He had one of the best senses of humor. I only ever saw him show love to all his family.  I think one of my favorite things about him was how much he enjoyed playing and joking with the kids in the family. I like to think that was because they brought out his own inner child a bit. Uncle Jesse Bear, you were one of a kind and I hope you know how much you were loved and that we will all miss you dearly. 

I remember the first day I met Jesse. Jeanette took me to the golf course and pointed him out. I laughed, saying he looked like an easter egg in a basket--such colorful clothing! When Jeanette told him what I'd said, he just laughed. That was Jesse: full of style, full of good humor. Our children called him "Uncle Jesse Bear", after a children's book titled "Jesse Bear, What Will You Wear?"  But they weren't just impressed with his style; they loved his irreverent humor too. Every time we saw Jesse, they would say "We love Uncle Jesse, but we never repeat what he says." But there's a lot we hope our children will repeat that they learned from Jesse: his curiosity about people and places; his love of art and music; his joy at introducing others to the people and places he loved; his generosity. I remember on one visit to Texas, he took my husband, Tomas, to his favorite music store and talked Tomas into buying a guitar Tomas clearly wanted but was hesitant to buy because of price. Jesse focused on how well Tomas played and convinced him to get it. We remember Jesse every time Tomas plays that 12 string.  It breaks our hearts to see Jeanette without Jesse. Whether he was "playing dead" or teasing her in a charged moment, he could make her smile. He was a wonderful father and grandfather to behold: easy going, filled with pride (every time we saw him, he shared a lot of pictures), and willing to help in times of joy and times of trouble.  We wish Jesse had had more time in retirement, and mostly we wish Jeanette and his whole family had more time to spend with him.  But a life isn't measured by time so much as by legacy. Jesse's legacy is in the smiles and laughter of everyone who remembers him.  I hope this brings comfort to Jeanette, his children and grandchildren, his family, and his many, many friends.

“The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive” – Albert Einstein.  
Jesse was an exceptional man and colleague, he was always willing to help others in any way possible and never asked for anything in return, unless it involved his computer or smart phone, he could never quite figure those two out, from trying to save a picture of Jeanette riding the mower and making it his background picture or trying to save all of the pictures of his grandbabies to a separate folder so he wouldn’t lose them, or when writing emails he would always ask me to proof read and add some “fancy words” to make it sound better. Jesse was a very hard working and dependable man, He always had a funny nickname for everyone, and always making jokes to keep everyone laughing.  He was so proud to talk about his kids and especially his grandbabies, his desk walls were full of pictures of all of them and couldn’t wait to retire so he could spend more time with them as well as friends. Lilli and Bubba immediately put him back to work as their new bus driver, taking them to school and back home. In his career he worked with passion, integrity and energy, our sorrow is lessened only slightly with the comforting thought that we had the privilege to know and work with him. Jesse was also known as “the legend” he knew literally everyone, if you needed help with anything he knew a guy or gal and would pull out his phone, make a quick phone call and the problem was solved even it if wasn’t work related.  We will miss his sayings “there is no budget for a stomach” “money in the bank” “I’m the legend” “I’m an athlete” just to name a few. Our lives will be empty in the areas that he had brightened for us.

My Gampi was many things to me and to everyone else. To me, he was my best friend, partner in crime, ..my Grandfather.  I would go to him for everything and I would go everywhere with him.  I used to tell him by the time I was 20 he was going to be tired of me.  We always had the best time.  He would tell me I wish you were 4 again, Bc I couldn’t argue with him.  Back then he was a legend.  The way he was, ther is no one like him in this world.  My Gampi was one of a kind.  I will miss him, all the water fights in the yard, all the jokes, all the smack we used to say to each other.  I will even miss when he used to mess with my feet, so I would turn around and hold his hand while we were watching TV.  January 30 is the day I lost a part of me, but I know he is in a better place and watching over us and he better be watching me on Thursday when I’m playing my game and making points so he can’t talk smack about me not being able to anymore ....I love my Gampi and I will make him proud so he can brag to GOD about how wonderful his Grandaughter is.  I love you forever Gampi.

Jeanette, we were so sorry to hear about Jesse. Know that we are thinking of you and your family, I know that Howard will miss playing golf with him and Louie.  Phyllis Schulman

Uncle Jesse,
You were always the Coolest Uncle, Thank you for always being there for me, being the DJ at mine & Joe’s wedding, all the countless gifts and gift of Love you gave to me and my family. I will miss seeing you at Mom & Dads house just about every week to eat dinner, hang out, and talk about everything and everyone. You were taken from us way to soon, my heart is broken I will never see you again and never hear you say “Hey Tray!”. I know you’re in Heaven playing golf, reuniting with family & friends and making new friends.  You will be in my heart forever and I know you will be watching over us, I Love You!

My heartfelt condolences, love & prayers for Jeanette, Jeremy, Bullet, Jared, Jacob, Brandi, your grandchildren and your Family.

❤️Love, Tray

Jesse was a great guy, a great neighbor. If we were both outside he’d always holler my name “Jessicaaa” I’ll always remember. Or sometimes when I was out washing my car he’d come over and ask me how work was & how the Rangers are doing, he even taught me a better way of drying my windows on my car.. with newspaper lol, he seen I was using a lot of paper towel and he went back to his house and gave me a bunch of newspaper paper to use. He will be greatly missed in the neighborhood ❤️  Thoughts & prayers Jeanette, Brandi & family!

Jesse had a heart of gold, always thinking of others and helping out in any way he could.  You will always be in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. My condolences to your wife, sons, daughter and grandkids. RIP Jesse. 

My friend...you will be sincerely missed.  I will always remember you yelling my name up the hallway and the advice you gave.  I will remember to put family first as you "preached" and not work so hard.  Thank you for your friendship.  Heaven definitely has an Angel....

I will you so much Uncle Jesse ❤️ 

❤️Little Bit 

Jesse you were such such a good giving man. I know you are with the Lord. Give my Dan a big hug and thank you so much for being  such a good friend to my Brother Louie. This is the last time I saw you and your beautiful Jeanette at Armando’s  wedding.Rest In Peace my friend🙏🙏

I will never forget the many Friday night dinners at Trevino's with Jesse, Jeanette, Louis and Bertha many years ago. He was always the voice of reason that usually always started long debates at the table and then he would grin and laugh at all the mayhem he had helped start.  I am sad I lost touch with you guys and feel deep sorrow and sadness for you and your family from his passing.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.   

To Jared and all of the Hernandez family, I am so so saddened to learn of Jesse's passing.  The Dallas Golf crew loved him and he made us laugh each and every time we saw him in the shop.  Jared, we wouldn't have known you if it weren't for your dad, and I know that you are all he could have imagined you would be.  Keep living his legacy and sharing your smile and gift of laughter with others.  All my best, Chris.

Jesse was a really good man and was a pleasure to work with. Jesse helped me out many times and was always willing to assist me every time I called. By reading the other tributes, everyone received special treatment from Jesse... that's just who he was! Rest in peace sir.

Jessie was a dear friend for many years. He truly cared for all people. I enjoyed golfing with him as much as he enjoyed the candies I made for him. Prayers to the family. In loving memory of Jessie I will pray.

Jesse, is a man that will be truly missed. I remember back when I first meet Jesse. All he talked about was golf and corn hole. Poor, Jesse could never get my name right or anyone else’s. He would call you everything except your name. Everybody had a nickname at the office.  He was a great friend and person. Would help anyone out if he could. Just a great man. It’s Friday and he would also play his favorite song at work on Friday’s. Hell to the Naw Naw by Bishop Bullwinkle. All I can say is Hell to Naw Naw.... You will be truly missed my friend. 

So many memories over the past decade & more that have Jesse in them. He’s my bestie’s dad & always kinda felt like a dad to me too. He & Jeanette are so special to me, my husband, & our 2 boys. He was truly one of a kind with the best personality, sense of humor, & just the best heart! I will seriously miss so many things. Sitting on the couch by him watching the game. Sunday morning breakfasts under the carport. Watching him play corn hole with the guys. Getting him coin wrappers from the bank. I’ll miss how he called my sons “little wed” (red)  & how he always told me I was “pretty ok for a cracker” lol. He was simply one of the best people I know & his passing is such a tremendous loss! Prayers for everyone who is grieving this extraordinary man!! xoxo

Rest in peace my little brother,I am so saddened that you have left so soon.You will be missed and I love you with all my heart ❤️ but now you  get to play on the coolest golf course ever.You will be in my heart forever .Your sis Lou aka Lucy

Jesse I JUST cannot Believe you’re gone😢😢😢😢😢😢.....I don’t know even know what to say..😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I Already Miss your phone calls and  drop-ins just to see how we are doing 😢😢😢😢😢😢Thank You for being a GREAT BROTHER IN LAW😥😥😥😥😥😥😥

Jeanette, Brandi and family! We are heart broken and just doesn't feel like this is real!!! Jesse was the best person anyone could ever ask for or want as a neighbor and a friend♡Down to earth caring, loving, helpful and funny! Man, we are going to miss him! Every time we hear blackjack fireworks, we're going to think of him, lol♡We Love Ya'll and here for ya'll and you're in our Prayers💙 

I’ve known Jesse for over 30 years.  He has always been a caring, loving person.  Him and Jeanette are like my second  set of parents.  They would both do anything for me if I needed it.  When my dad got sick  last year and I had to spend more time at my parents, Jesse would come over and mow my yard.  He cut the trees.  He was the best.  When my dad past away in July, I told Jesse he had to step it up and play the role.  He smiled and said he would do his best.  He will be greatly missed.  

Praying for you Jeanette and all the family.  Love y’all ! 

The only reason Jesse would say I was his favorite sister-in-law is because he had me as "favorite" in email contacts and speed dial on his phone.  Why??  He was always needing his resume updated, and always needed it YESTERDAY!  We would be on the phone late into the night as I edited the resume on my computer; when changes met his approval I had to email the resume to the new boss and who-knows-who in the personnel office.

Rest in peace, Jesus.  Keep watch over your boys.


Never forget this wonderful person

On behalf of Spectrum ( Field Operations Chenault ) we would like to offer our deepest condolences to Jesse Hernandez and family. He will be missed but never forgotten.

Even though he worked in another department he always interacted with me and my peers before he went home.

The memory of him that mostly sticks out is when we were supervisors together around 2012-2013. Jesse disliked emails and escalations but boy did he love damage claims. He was AND STILL IS the damage claim king!!!!!! He handled all of our Damage Claims at Chenault just to stay clear of emails and customer escalations.

We love you Jesse Hernandez.

It all started when me a jarod Hernandez beat him at cornhole at his house , after that he was determined to get the game down and put us in our place , he came to my house to play all the time and we would give grief about his old butt trying to play cornhole and he would tell us (He’s a Athlete) and started taking names. I could never beat him after that and he would say ( That Old man did it again) .jarod and i tried to beat him other times at his house but he would  smoke us every time .  Going to miss you  buddy  (The Athlete) 

Family, friend, best bud and all-around good guy. Ready to share any good bargain he ran across--shoes, cds, food. Helping with any chore we ignored beyond his tolerance--- dirty cars, hanging tree limbs, leaves needing raking ... Fun plus one to  concerts and quick sightseeing trips, and visits to mutual friends ... best brother in law to hang with at Michael Bolton and Kenny G,  "friends with bands" concerts... and last minute breakfasts. Thoroughly enjoyed his friendship forever! LOVE AND MISS YOU ALWAYS, JESSE!  Will see you again!







I'm so sorry for your loss.  I met Jesse when he, Joe Guzman, Karl Pickerel and I played the St. Plus X golf tournament way back and immediately liked him.  I always enjoyed when we got together.  He was the cool one of us.  I'll miss him.

Golf tournament not sure what year it was in. I  asked you to join. You and Santos and another family member and I won a Florida scramble tournament. We got trophies and prizes. I even won a Ben Hogan driver for closes to the hole. Lol 
Thanks for carrying me and being patient with my non playing butt,  I had never played golf in my life and have never played since then, but got a 1st place trophy that says otherwise Lol 
At Sam Ocanas services when I saw you last you asked me about the driver. Yup still have it. Sharing a laugh. 
Thank you for your encouraging words when I left to the Army in 79.  Ill never forget you,, Sam O, Uncle John, and Joe Rivas for yalls advice back then. Thank you Jesse for always making me feel a part of the family.  You will be missed 

We will never forget his smile that was so contagious. R.I.P. 
Love Y’all 
Robert & Lupe DeLeon
