He was a member of the Lake Superior Chippewa Band Lac du Flambeau.

Jesse enjoyed chess, cribbage and boxing. He was a fan of all sports and especially he was a fan of the Denver Bronco's and the Green Bay Packers. He was very artistic and that showed in his drawings and stenciling. The time spent "hanging out" with his friends was very important to him.

He was preceded in death by his Mother on September 30, 1990; his Father on March 9, 2007; and his grandparents.
