Jesse was born on July 29, 1969, in Hale County, Texas to Joe T. and Dora (Rodriguez) Jimenez. He was currently working on getting his CDL so that he could travel the states.

Jesse had an appreciation for nature, he was amazed by the trees, flowers, the sounds the birds made, which he loved listening to, insects, even having a spider as a pet for many years, and he loved animals. He found pleasure in fishing, watching the sunrise and sunset, swimming in the lakes, and going to the mountains. Besides nature, Jesse enjoyed reading, drawing, watching any sports, welding, reading blueprints, fixing anything, helping the suffering and he was not afraid of trying new foods.

Most importantly, Jesse loved taking care of his parents and spending time with them, as well as his brothers, sisters and nieces and nephews.
