Although there are so many wonderful people who our family would love to give Special Thanks to for all of the support, condolences,friendship,and help with our tragic loss, I want to mention a few.

Alex Blackwell -  As Jesse's room-mate, friend, co-worker, confidant,you have gone far above the call of duty. I know it was very hard for you to go threw everything & arrange for transportation back to MN.

Becky McDonough & Bree Koch- Thank you for being with us in North Carolina the day after. You were such a big help to Charise & I. Even through all of the tears.


Bill & Elyse Easterly -We can't thank you enough for taking care of everything & being there for us. You made us feel like part of the Monster Jam family.

Scott Douglas - You did the hard part. The Eulogy you gave at Jesse's funeral was absolutely beautiful, it touched all of us. I can only imagine Jesse was grinning from ear to ear!

 Jacob Smallwood  - This awesome Tribute photo you created made it around the world within a couple hours.  I will cherish it forever! Thank you!


Mike Wells - Thank you for the support & all you did to see that Jesse's friends/co-workers made it to MN & getting the Airforce Truck here. It meant alot to everyone!

Master Sergeant Wright - Your presence during Jesse's services was a real tribute for our family.  Jesse talked very highly of the friends he made through his Airforce Display Tours.

Brig General A.J Stewart - Thank you for your personal Letter of Condolence.  It made us even more proud of Jesse's accomplishments.

Mike McFarland - I think you & Jesse have the most history together. You gave him the encouragement to keep going for what he wanted when he was just a young boy. He may not have made it so far if it were not for you.  Thank you!

Damon Brandshaw - You were like a big brother to Jesse. He always talked so highly of you. The Airforce Afterburner flag will hang proudly for many many years.  We wish you all the best in your career.

George Eisenhart - You preceded my son in death, but during his time with Monster Nationals, you were a huge impact on his life & career.  He was totally devasted by your death. Now that heaven has the best promotor & crew chief, I hope the 2 of you are kicking butt! Your family is in our prayers.

Kami Day -  Thanks for all of the wonderful pics.  So many big smiles to look at!

More Thanks to come!
