Throughout his life, Jesse was known for his strong work ethic and his love for the open road.  His career as a trucker allowed him to see the country and forge lasting connections with those he met along the way.  In his spare time, Jesse found solace in the great outdoors through hunting and fishing. These hobbies brought him joy and relaxation amidst his busy schedule on the road.
