I knew Jesse Borrego when he was in the Air Force in Topsham Maine.  He played guitar and sang in a Band with friends from the Base...My Mother and I had gone to a Dance at a Local Grange Hall where he and his band were playing.  He was a very kind and caring person...He was transferred to California where we no longer kept in touch.  May God give the family peace and know you have the Hope of seeing Jesse again in Heaven...Blessings...Sugar Barry Paulin-Trask.

Condolences and prayers to the Borrego Family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. I enjoyed watching and listening to Jesse Borrego play that accordion and sing his heart out. I (Pat Palacios) enjoyed his music when he was playing with Jorge & Marvin.  Love Pat & Marvin Palacios

My sincere condolences to The Borrego Family.  I will forever cherish the great times we had at each of our “mano a mano” performances, Jesse with his Conjunto and me with mine, making great music for couples could dance the night away.  Eastside Club, El Ranchito, Flamingo Nite Club. No hombre shy up - the clubs are gone, but our memories will follow us to our graves.  Descansa En Paz, Hermano.

My deepest sympathy for the Borrego Family. May your father rest in peace and may you find comfort during this difficult time.God bless you.

Rosie, Jesse, Marina and James and family. We the Gutierrez family have so many wonderful memories of your dad being a big part of our family. He had such a big heart when it came to performing for just about any wedding of the Gutierrez family. I had a very special memory of him at our wedding when my brother had to step out because of a serious medical emergency. You didn’t have to ask him twice. 
     He spent hours with my brother Manuel practicing their music to make it the best they could produce. My Ama would at times tell him to just move inn. He was really like a brother to us. We will miss him tremendously and know he left us with golden memories to look back at. Please except our sincere condolences to you snd the rest of the Borrego family. May he R.I.P. and let the perpetual light shine upon him amen. ✝️🙏🏽🕊🙏🏽✝️

Thinking of you 

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. So sorry for your loss. Sending our deepest condolences.

To Jesse Borrego and family,
I did not have the opportunity to meet Mr. Borrego but I am sure that he was very proud of Jesse and the rest of  his family.  I know Jesse from his experiences in elementary school and in high school.  Jesse is a true Harlandale Indian and a great role model for many students to come.  I am certain that his talents in movies and dancing partly came from Mr. Borrego.  I am also sure that Mr. Borrego was an inspiration to his family.  May he rest in peace.
Willie Zavala and Family.

This is a great loss for everyone, Jesse and I worked at Good Sam for many years with the seniors. He always told me that he was not one of them with a smile. Jesse's smile would brighten up a room any day. I loved listening to all his stories he was so proud of his children. I recently spoke to Jesse about the passing of my husband and just as I thought his words of encouragement were never to give up that Raymond will always be with me. My my sincere condolences to Rosemary and the family. Love you JB.
