Jess was a talented tile setter, owning his own business for many years providing customized tile work for his customers. He had a love for music and was a talented musician and vocalist. Jess could pick up the guitar and play by ear when he wasn't composing his own songs. He loved the outdoors and camping with his family and friends. Jess was always willing to lend a hand to anyone with his many talents and abilities to build and fix just about anything.

Jess was never without a dog at his side. His trusted companions were always considered family. His most treasured time was spent with his wife and two girls. He was their biggest fan and supporter whether it was as a parent helper at school or a fan at a soccer game, dance competition or gymnastics.
