In Loving Memory of Jesse Cole: Celebrating the Weird and Wonderful

On July 16, 2023, the universe lost a true original, Jesse Cole. His journey was a whirlwind of unexpected twists, creative turns, and an unapologetic love for all things wonderfully unusual. From custodial gigs at places as diverse as the post office, schools, stores, and even Disneyland Resort, he transformed cleaning into an art form that sparkled with his unique touch. Halloween was his canvas for spine-tingling wonder. Jesse adored Disney's magic, rhinos, and horror classics like "Evil Dead." His distinctive and comical t-shirts were a reflection of his one-of-a-kind soul. An explorer at heart, he crafted cherished memories with his kindred spirit, his wife Kathryn.

Jesse's legacy lives on through Kathryn, his parents Donald and Helen, his friends, and the memories that celebrate the wonderfully distinct person he was.A private celebration of Jesse's life will be held at a later date. Donations in his name can be made to the Diabetes Research Institute (diabetesresearch.org), continuing the legacy of a man who embraced life's oddities.

While he may have left our physical world, his impact and spirit will forever resonate in our hearts.
