Alicia and Patricia Rodarte and our families.
My deepest condolences to all the Camarena family, I have nice memories from my childhood and early teenage years in La Misa Sonora MEX when they used to come over to visit their relatives, Susy and I were very closed and Tia Panchita always lived having them over, that’s when Jesse started to pick up more on Spanish-language.
May he rest in peace with the lord ??

I will always remember Jesus with a smile on his face. I knew him for over 15 years and I’ve never seen him in a bad moods. Even at the darkest hour I can see him smiling. My world is definitely a better place because of you. I will forever remember you and will miss you terribly. I am truly broken hearted. Rest in Peace my friend. We love you.

Jesse, sigo sin poder creerlo,!! te nos adelantaste en el camino, estoy muy triste , guardo hermosos recuerdos tuyos, uno de ellos es, cuando me platicabas qué ibas a la Misa y me buscabas y yo nunca estaba, pero algún día nos encontraremos en un lugar maravilloso y esta vez, será para siempre, mi corazón esta ?
Respetuosamente mis condolencias para su señor padre, hermanos, hijos, sobrinos y sobrinos nietos que él amo siempre.
Until we meet again brother . It was a sincere honor serving together at Fort Bragg. Lots of laughs and good times. God Bless amigo ??
I’m saddened beyond words to hear of Jesse’s passing. Jesse and few of his Army/82 d Airborne brothers were planning on a small reunion this coming May on Ft Bragg. I definitely was looking forward to seeing Jesse after almost 28 years. My prayers are with him and his family and friend’s
God bless my friend…
Love you my brother Jesse. My oldest friend. I remember going to the movies with you in 6th grade and your mother jumping in the back seat of my father’s car to comb your hair before we left. When we were 17 I remember you showing up at my house on Parent’s house Saturday morning tapping on my window saying “let’s go to Mexico”. I am so glad I went, we had such an adventure that time in your hot rod car in Mexico.
*showing up at my Parent’s house. I was never as clever, witty or wrote as good as you. In recent times I will miss your dad jokes and your wisdom.
Strike Hold…First to Fire!
RIP Jesse
Cuando el dolor del alma paraliza el corazón y la mente es el único sendero le pertenece a dios y hay que caminarlo para encontrar la paz
El nacimiento no es el principio y la muerte no es el final, Dios hoy te recibirá tu alma con la máxima expresión de amor en el paraiso
Descanse en Paz! ?
Jesús Ramón Camarena Jr.
Happy birthday hasta el cielo
Te voy a extrañar hasta la eternidad! ?
Un abrazo a sus familiares en tan lamentable perdida
