Father, place Jesse on the

computers. 

Friends describe Jesse as uptempo. If he was a friend, he was a friend for life. 

He loved spending time with his 6-year-old daughter, Madison. 

He had always loved the military. It was his chosen path in life.

His family will forever grieve his loss.

Jesse is survived by many loving friends and relatives including his mother, Debbie Passerallo, and his daughter, Madison (age 6).

Thank you for serving, Jesse.

Pray without ceasing unto God for an end to this war in Afghanistan. It is enough. We are sick with grief for men like Jesse. He would not have died in a helicopter accident in Afghanistan if there was no war in Afghanistan. God give us peace.

Pray that Jesse is in heaven. Pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
