I miss you so much. Your laughter, you and your dogs. She was better fed than most of us. LOL. You were never boring and I will never forget you. 
Bless you dear brother. Knowing that Michael is with you gives me comfort. 

Bless you always, 
Regina Chase-Alvear

Jesse was a good friend at Sts. Simon & Jude Parish, and I miss him.  He was always a hard worker, kind and friendly to all, and we had a lot of good working days together.  I hope you are enjoying your heavenly mansion Jesse with our Lord and Savior!  Sending love and prayers for you.

I know I am a day early. Happy Heavenly Birthday!!!!  You have been on my mind and still it is hard to understand why. Here's thinking of you and glad that you are resting in peace. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Dear Jesse,

I am sorry that it has taken me awhile to write, and is because it was a shock to hear the news and to accept it.  When we first met years ago thru a mutual friend, i knew instantly we would be good friends.  Not until 2 years ago did we realized that we had something in common, the love of travel.  Immediately we became traveling buddies. I will never forget the times we shared and the places we visited, such as Mexico City, Philadelphia and New York City.  When you came to visit me last year in Puerto Rico, i could not wait to show you this beautiful island of enchantment. 

I  will always remember you as an honest, kind, caring, and lovable person.  I will never forget our everyday conversations on the phone, and the times we just called to check on each other.  You gave me great advice and beautiful memories that i will always cherish.  You will be missed and I thank God for giving me the opportunity to have met you.  

Rest in peace my friend. Love always. 

I  share my deepest condolences with the Alvear family.  Jesse was a man that loved his family and loved life. He shared his smile with everyone he met and brought light to this world. Jesse helped me feel accepted into the Alvear family and I am grateful for knowing him. Rebekah and I will miss Jesse. Forever in our hearts 💗 Rest in God's Peace. 

Jesse,
A generous heart, ♥️
A joyous smile, 😊
And serving hands,
In you, Jesse, we found a friend and an advocate.
In you, we see the Light of Christ!
Ora Pro Nobis (Pray For Us) 🙏
May the angels guide your way to our heavenly home.
Blessings & Peace in the Arms of Our Lord, Jesus Christ,

Jesse was a very amiable individual.  My experience with him as a parishioner at SSJ, was always amiable .  If one asked a favor of him, no matter how big or small, he always obliged.  Especially when we had our "Christmas Cookie Walk", Jesse helped us with setting up just everything.  He was never TOO busy to cooperate with needed help.  His wonderful smile said "mucho".  We shall miss him, but God will miss him no longer.  God bless him.

Jessie was a wise coworker, a patient boss, and a kind soul. His life brought joy to both mine and my family's. Though we miss him, I pray his impact on my life lasts to the day we meet again.

The little I heard of Michael was joyful and loving. I now think on my own relationship with my sister: what it means to me, and what joy we will have if we follow their example.

The night me and jesse met he was dating terry , me n terry went to same high school every since that night we became the best of friends. 
We travel to Chicago and  New York each time we had so much fun.  JESSE I CAN'T BELIEVE  YOUR GONE 
MISS YOU SO MUCH I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU  Rest in Peace Sweet Heart 

Jesse and Michael,

The years past.  
We almost never saw each other,
now the opportunity  is  lost forever.
Laughter, music, dancing, and family, 
are my last memories of you both.
My heart is full of sadness.

Sandy Reed

Jesse, 
This still to me is unbelievable. I will never forget your laugh and your incredible hugs! Whenever we got together it was always good times and laughter and that will always be how I remember you. I know Aunt Modesta was waiting with open arms to welcome you and your brother Michael home. I loved reading your Facebook posts about where you were going or what you were making to eat. So with that I'll include what should be your last post there.

Mom, I'm finally home! 
Love you cousin! ❤ Rest in peace 


Rest in Eternal Peace Jesse, I know your in the best hands now, may your family be comforted knowing they will see you again. ❤️ 

I still can't believe you are gone,  I want to wake up and realize it was just a nightmare 😪..   But I all to well know it is not, and just two weeks after our  brother Michael Alvear joined you in heaven with our parents.   I  going to miss your phone calls and visit.   And your loving spirit.  Love you brother Jesse ❤ 

Jesse, you were such a good friend to me all my years at SSJ.  Before I was on staff and a Catechist with Sonya, you were always helpful if I needed something for my class.  While on staff, I could always count on your smile, willingness to help, and caring support.  After I retired, it was always a joy to see you when I visited the Parish, you always made time for a hug, a kiss, and a short talk to see how I was.  I was deeply saddened to learn you were sick, and devastated to learn you had passed.  Too young, too special, too loving of life to be gone so soon.  I know you are resting with Jesus, and making Him smile too!  Sent with many prayers for your family and friends, and with much love for you, always.

My memories of my nephew Jesse.
He was a caring and beautiful person with a big heart and a big spender. I'll always remember his beautiful smile and the way he cared for my sister Modesta, his mom. I'll miss you taking the time to drive to Houston, so I could visit with my sister and of course visit with you too. 
I will miss you tremendously. ❤️-Aunt Rosie

Jesse, it’s so hard to believe that you have gone to be with our Lord. I remember all the times you would bring ur mom to visit, always taking care of her. I know you will continue to be at her side . I will miss you terribly!!
Rest In Peace!!!
Aunt Dolores

Working with Jesse these last few years and getting to know him, has been wonderful.  We talked often about his travels, camping, dogs and food.  He was a warm smile in the morning and a kind wave in the afternoon.  He didn't get aggravated when we would break out in "Jesse, I'll always cut fresh flowers for you, and Jesse".  At least he didn't let on:).    We will forever remember his laugh!  We are so grateful for the opportunity to know him and will miss him terribly.    Our prayers are with the Alvear and Villarreal Families.  God's blessing, Donna and Mike Cox


Jesse was always the “fun one.” It was always a good time with him. You could count on that! I will miss his laugh and big hugs, but know that now he’s hugging Aunt Modesta and Uncle Sam. You left too soon, but I will cherish the the memories we made and hold them dear to my heart. 💜 May you Rest In Peace. 

Dear Jesse,

I was absolutely shocked and saddened to hear about your passing. 😥😢😓
We met each other at the fort, El Morro in San Juan, Puerto Rico on November 1st of last year. You offered to give me and my girlfriend your entrance-bracelets so we wouldnt have to pay. We gladly accepted, but then decided to join you and your friend on a long walk through the city, where you showed us some amazing places! I am so glad we decided to take that private tour with you, it was such a nice experience. I could tell immediately that you were a kind, gentle, caring, fun loving and outgoing person, exactly the type of person i love to meet while i am traveling the world! After going through my phone, looking for pictures from that day, I found something i think you and your family/friends will enjoy! Remember when we went to that special park/ street corner with all of the pigeons?! Remember how one of them pooped on my arm?!? 😅😂 
I am so grateful we had the chance to meet and to share that time together, even just for those few hours talking and walking around San Juan. You were a beautiful human.
Rest in peace my friend. Much love.

I know I  didn't keep in touch much but when we did see each other our hugs I felt the love we had for one another , I enjoyed our time we did share together, if it was downtown, dinner and drinks or at work, we would laugh and tell stories, you calling me hita ❤ I will miss you, you had a impact on a lot of people you will be truly miss Jesse and I'm sorry I didnt call I just thought youd always be there with a hug 💔 love you cousin , until we meet again.  

Jesse was very kind and loving person. i always found him smiling and cheerful. He was always busy in helping others. When i came newly in this Parish as a Parochial Vicar,  i new nothing. He was the first man who arranged for me shopping and food.  May God Bless him and give Eternal Rest. 

You were the first Alvear I met. We spoke on the phone so many times, before meeting you, I could not have imagined having a brother. But you were my brother, my friend and I will miss you forever. You embraced me, you danced with me at our wedding. I am so grateful that I knew you. 
Thank you for being in my life, even for a short time. 

Jesse, I will cherish the times I had with you cousin. I'll remember riding on your scooter bike when you lived in Denver Harbor and I'll remember you chasing me and Hopie around the house. I'll remember how sweet, handsome, caring, fun and loving you were. I'll remember your visits and I'll remember the laughs. I'll especially remember the warmth of your hugs and how you made me feel loved.  Rest in Paradise cousin. I know you will be greeted by so many loved ones and I know you will be happiest to see your mom (Aunt Modesta). Forever in my heart and forever missed. Love you, Jesse. 

Jesse, you are going to be missed tremendously. You were the fun cousin, sweet, great person to hang out with. I’m still in disbelief that you are gone. You were the go to guy always their for everyone. May you Rest In Peace. I know you are in heaven preparing making it look so beautiful. I know Tia and Uncle were their to greet you. You all are rejoicing with the Angels😢🙏❤️ Until we meet again.

My condolences to the family .. May he Rest In Peace... 

Jesse, my friend, you will be totally missed.  Who will greet us with a huge smile and and big hug (like a bear), ask how the day is going?  Who will answer the call for help with a courteous and positive manner?  Who will help eat the leftovers from the church kitchen?  Who will offer to be the "taster" for a new recipe?  The memories will go on and on, but for the moment?  You will gift these blessings and more to those in Heaven.  May you be filled with the joy of His Face and be forever at peace.
Love You

Jesse was a wonderful kind helpful man. Always willing to help everyone. His pleasant manner and big smiles made the day much better! 
I’m a SVDP (Saint Vincent DePaul ) volunteer and Jesse always brought us the donated food for the pantry to sort and distribute. Even in the worst weather Jesse had that big smile and  happy disposition! 
Jesse will be missed by so many at Saint Simon and Jude.  Rest in Heavenly Peace Jesse. 

Words don't do justice on how much I miss you! 
Your smile and laughter was filled with such joy all you could was just join in with you 
Answering my phone and hearing "Hey Boo!" On the other end would make me smile as I replied "Say Guh!" 
You were the best Uncle any one could ask for! You were always there and could be counted on for anything! 
I know you are one of our guardian angels now and sitting with grandma and grandpa! I love you forever and always 💛  Give grandma and grandpa a hug and a kiss from me! Until we meet again I'll hold you in my heart ❤ 

With everything that has been going on with the virus and how everyone is not taking it seriously...We forget about the people who are closest to us. All we think is that we are going to get it and we forget that you are not the only person in the world that matters...You will never understand magnitude of this virus till it hits home... We have lost one of my Uncles to this stupid virus and it makes me mad to think that due to this virus we lost someone who was a son,brother,uncle,friend,family.. My Uncle Jesse Alvear care of alot of people while he was here on this earth (with a bit of sassyness) but he loved to do so. He deserves so much more then what he got and he would have been healthy if this virus never came.. but I am trying to think that he is now happy and that he is rest in peace with my Grandpa and my Grandma that were waiting for him in heaven with open arms. Heaven did gain another angel i just hope heaven is ready for my Uncle Jesse. I love you so much Uncle Jesse and we will miss you very much. You are someone that can't not be forgotten.  Thank you for all the pray everyone sent to my Uncle Jesse and the family.

I don't even know where to begin,  you have always been there for me and our family.   Just like mom a heart of gold 💛.   I can't even describe how much you are going to be missed.   To your morning calls,  always happy " good morning sunshine "  I never dreamed that we would be here.   Always everyone's favorite.   A brother,  brother in law,  uncle, and  godfather .
Love you brother,  say hi to mom and dad and I love them ❤. 

My sweet cousin Jesse had a heart of gold and a contagious energy about him.  There are many memories we shared , from him dressing up as Santa Claus, many years ago,  to him working on my home when my kids and I moved into our current home. Jesse had a beautiful Cadillac that he was so gracious to drive my daughter in, on the day of her Quinceanera. I was blessed by him and I will always cherish him. When I look around my home, I remember he and Tia Modesta being one of my first guests.  Until we are together again. Rest In Peace. ❤️🙏🏼

My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Jesse. Jesse was always kind and very helpful and never an unkind word and did what I needed to be done in my art and environment ministry. Jesse had  such a big part behind the scenes with anything that needed to be accomplished for services or  Holy  Sacrifice of the Mass or anywhere within the church that we needed help . His kindness and willingness was  Always in a Christian manner. Thank you Jesse you will and are missed.
Bernice Mikolaj

My Prayers are with the whole Alvear family.  Jesse was such a loving person. He was willing to do anything for ones he knew and didn’t know. If he could help he would. He loved his Family and friends with all his heart. He will forever be missed. Till we meet again Jesse R.I.P

I am truly saddened by your leaving so soon. But I am richer because I met you. Thank you.

I was devastated to hear of Jesse's passing.  He was such a good friend for years and unfortunately we had lost contact. He was the kindest soul and always had a smile or a laugh for everyone. You will be missed my friend. Condolences to your loved ones at this difficult time.

This is a difficult lost for all  at this time. My nephew Jessie will be missed. He is a wonderful soul,always cheerful and caring.

Jesse was a kind, beautiful person, and friend. Sorry for a great loss to family and all his friends he knew.
