This young man was truly loved as a child Jesse and my children was best friends and never lost contact we will truly miss you son. We understand that God needs he’s Angel’s Back we love you from the Atkins Family.
He was a incredible person, friend and inevitably the first person to ask “how can I help?”.I have only known Jesse a few short years but he made you feel like you were a lifelong friend. He did everything with a passion and he would light up like a Christmas tree anytime he spoke about the girls in his life. They were his life and he was quick to share his pride of them with everyone. He will be missed.
Billie, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Although this hits extremely hard the world has truly been a better place having Jesse in it. I met him as a teenager (hearing about him alot prior to meeting) as he was a close knit friend to my sons, a brother; I began to know him & he became my son, anytime & everytime we bumped into one another it was always love, I will miss the hugs & conversations. My sincerest condolences to his family & beautiful babies. May we all cherish the memories & time we got to spend with him. John 5:28,29
