Jesse was born on May 20th, 1982, in Tempe, AZ to Mike and Jackie Fiese. As a child Jesse enjoyed sports, skateboarding, music, art, and being unique even if it was rebellious. As he grew older, he started DJing, tagged buildings, studied health, and practiced martial arts.

Jesse was an entrepreneur, starting at a young age he provided lawn care for neighboring properties, and even lied about his age to work at McDonald’s. What he was most proud of was his DJing career and even had the opportunity to tour as an opening act for the Wu-Tang Clan.

Building a future and beating to his own drum were the most important things to him, after his daughter Bella. Everything Jesse aimed to do he had Bella in mind and wanted to give her the world. After moving to Wisconsin, Jesse fell in love with Jenna and found the missing piece to their family. Jenna and Bella guilt tripped Jesse into rescuing a dog, Tundra, who quickly turned into Jesse’s little best friend.

Often described as a motivator, he always saw things in people they didn’t see in themselves and encouraged them to go after their dreams. He used excitement to make people feel empowered. Success of others was one of his favorite things to celebrate. Although there were times there was no success, he believed there was always something to learn.

Jesse survived by his long-term partner, Jenna; daughter, Bella; and four-legged friend Tundra; as well as his parents, Mike and Jackie Fiese; sisters, Tia, Brean (Mike) and nephews, Rory and Ian.

He is preceded in death by his grandparents.
