Mike, I know you know what your dad ment to me and my family as he was just simply great.

I remember thinking as a child that the RAs had more fun than the GAs at our church. They got to be in a basketball league, race in pine wood derbies, and participate in track meets along with their Bible and mission studies. I would beg Mr. Sanchez to let me play with the RAs, and he would always tell me, "Whenever you can kiss your elbow, you can join us." Never could kiss that elbow! I have fond memories of you all from my childhood. Our prayers are with your family.

My heart and prayers goes out to all of you. What gives me peace is that he was a man of God and is now with Him with no suffering. I only had a chance to meet him several times but those times are very precious to me. My father n law, Roy Sanchez, is an amazing man and it only goes to show he came from an amazing family. My love and prayers go out to all of you that have been touched by his passing. May the love of God and knowledge that he is with his maker bring you peace at this time.
Love, Stephanie Vickers

Jesse was a man that treated everyone with kindness and respect... even the little girl who grew up across the street. Together, with Alice, a loving marriage lasted through the years. Thank you for being a special part of my life! Charlotte, Suzanne, and Mike... God bless and keep you through this difficult time. I know that everytime that I talk with each of you, I see your dad's face shining through... as well as in the face of those beautiful grandchildren. Kristen and I love you all and are keeping you close in our prayers.

Charlotte, What is so great is that your Dad is now in heaven! He is dancing on the streets of gold and rejoicing with Jesus and God. AWESOME. Although I know you will miss him, just think of the awesome time he is having. I can see God just grinning from ear to ear when he ask, " My son, what did you do to help your fellow brothers and sisters while on earth?" Your Dad was a huge influence to many young boys when he was so active in little league. He was just a GREAT guy!!! You WILL see him again and OHHHHH what a joyious time it will be.
