He was known to travel great distances to watch BYU Football and Basketball. After he retired from retail, he moved back to Hobbs, New Mexico to take care of his aging parents.

Jess will be remembered for his big personality and funny sense of humor. He loved his family and his community. He spent his life caring for others and had a special way of bringing everyone together.
