I will miss you dude !! James Boose "

"Dear Sheilah, Claire, Owen and the entire Deardorff, Jensen/Carroll, and Oltmans families:
My sincerest sympathies to all of you at the passing of Jesse. We met during an Agroecology course some 10 years ago and managed to stay in touch off and on over the years. The agriculture and Oltmans connections were too strong not to. My heart aches for Jesse and each of you. I hope that all of the laughter, love, and happy memories can offer some comfort during this difficult time. My thoughts are with you.
Condolences,
Jill Sackett Eberhart"

"I'm so sad to hear about Jesse's passing. We went to the same elementary school in Ames and spent a lot of time playing video games, and pranking the neighbors (one memorable time we were alone at his house, and the neighbor was so mad she camped outside the front door until Jesse's mom returned. I'll never forget *that* experience).
Thoughts and prayers to his family, children, and all who were touched by his time here.

" Have not known Jesse that long but he was a very comedic funny prankster, played a joke on me with my work truck. Put a dead squirrel in my vice on my rear bumper but then I paid him back by putting a large plastic zip tie on his driveshaft and made lots of noise when he drove his truck we have been good friends ever since, I will miss him "
