Jesse tragically lost his life, December 13th, 2025. He left this earth surrounded by a room full of family who loved him.

Jesse James was born to Michelle and Timothy, October 6th, 1997 at Bay Area Hospital. He was raised in Coos Bay, OR, with his mother and younger siblings, before trying his young adult life in The Valley with his childhood sweetheart Jerrel, then ultimately settling down in Veneta, OR, knowing they were meant for the small town life.

His passion for logging and bow hunting only deepened as he got older. If he wasn’t working on a landing, he was hiking miles, exploring terrain most wouldn’t walk through, searching for that perfect hunting ground. He loved to be outside shed hunting, seeing wildlife, watching sunrises and sunsets over the mountains. He treasured the days when his sons were in the mountains with him, teaching them all the things he knew and loved.

August 23rd, 2016 and July 13th, 2021, Jesse welcomed his two handsome boys, James and Easton, who were the most important part of his life. He was a devoted father, working hard every day to provide for his family and making sure they knew how much they meant to him. Jesse James leaves behind an amazing legacy and will be missed by all who knew him.

He is survived by his two beautiful boys, James and Easton, Mother And Father, younger brothers, Brandon, Tegun, Daniel, only sister Aiyana, Grandma Cora, Aunt Christina Bravo, Uncle Alfred & Aunt Patrice, Aunt Kealaine Kanui, numerous cousins who cherished him dearly and many, many friends. He is preceded in death by his Uncle Rex and Aunt Felicia Lawton, both of Coos Bay, OR.
