Jesse Lee Tesnear, 46 years old, passed away at his home in Hackensack on Tuesday, February 11, 2014. He was born on September 18, 1967 in Fresno, California the son of Alvin and Socorro (Rios) Tesnear.
Jesse was always a big jokester who would always look for an opportunity to pull pranks on people he would work with. He was a big child at heart always acting younger than he was. One time he was sanding and his teeth fell out and chipped one tooth. Jesse was also a momma’s boy and wasn’t afraid to use this to his advantage. He was a California baby but was converted to Minnesotan when he moved here. It was hard to get him to come back and visit because he loved it here. Jesse loved to spend time with his grandchildren, being around family and enjoying a good beer. He will be deeply missed by family here and the family he leaves behind in California.
Jesse was preceded in death by his wife Tamera Gray and his grandmother Frances Carter, cousin Kenny Williams, uncle Frank Tesnear, aunt Darlene Tesnear, other relatives on the Rios side.
