In Loving Memory of Jesse Ryan Alexander

Jesse was just 16 years old, a bright, respectful, and funny young man who brought joy to everyone he met. He was the light of his parents’ lives and a true friend to many. He loved riding ATVs and dirt bikes, fishing, and camping, always making memories with those he loved. Though his time here was short, his life was filled with happiness and connection.
In his final act of kindness, Jesse gave the gift of life to others through organ donation, saving lives and leaving a legacy of compassion and selflessness.
Surviving are his loving parents, Jon and Linda Alexander, and his biological mother, Jamie Ransom. Jesse will be deeply missed by his siblings: Jared (Des Luce) Alexander, Jaden (Vera Reid) Alexander, Brittany (Steven Miller) Skillman, Jasmine (T.J. Troutt) Combs, and Katelyn (Tyler Epperson) Combs.
