First of all, Ken and I would like to thank God for giving us His gift of Jesse. Although He only allowed us to have him for such a short time, our lives were truly blessed. We can't even imagine what our lives would have been like without him. Next, we want to thank our son Jesse, for sharing his life with us. He brought us such joy, and yes, sometimes pain. We wouldn't trade the time we had with him for anything. We only wish that we could have had more time. He enriched our lives beyond compare and we are all better people because of him. We love and miss him so much.

Our undying gratitude goes out to: Jean & Chris Ilderton, Kim Stoner-Dickerson and family, Mona Stoner- Livingston and family, Michele Stoner-Smith and family, DeeAnna Curnew-Smith and family, Max Smith, Lorraine Scharnhorst and family, Dorothy Jurgensen and family, Diane Pike and family, Ken Wolfe and family, Garry Wolfe and family, Gayle McKern and family, Julie Reuber and family, Terry Mulligan and family, Kay Woolery and family, Verna Harbaugh and family, Brandon Harbaugh and family, Tari and Dallas Niebuhr,Joshua Haggerty and family, Chad Veitch and family, Joe Hanrahan and family, Chris Burns and family, Bruce Reese, Joe Willis, Cory, JT, Alex Tannberg and family, Sarah Sills, Jay O'Hara, Tony Spicochi, Tammy, Adrienne, Shondra Phillips, Bobby, all the rest of Jesse's friends, Paul Baerlocher and family, Gerry Chaput and family, Michele Berkley, Jamie Crawley and family, Martin and Helene, Louis George and family, Scott North and family, Julie Muhlstein and family, Janet Burkitt, the people from JanSport, Intermec, Plexus, ATL, Mariner High School, Aces, Everett High School, ECI, Interstate Batteries, Costco, Albertsons, Chuck's Chevron, Motel 6, Cost Cutters, Allstate of Bothell, Boeing, American Memorial, Awards and Engraving Engravers, Snohomish County Sheriff's Dept., Det.
