This memorial website was created in loving memory of our son, Jesse E. Sibley who was born in Sarasota, Florida on June 04, 1981 and tradgicly  on January 30, 2004 he took his own life at the age of 22. He will forever be in our hearts and memories. 
Jesse was our youngest son, he has 2 brothers, Jeremy, and Larry III. He came from a big family of Aunts, Uncles, cousins and grandparents. He also became an Uncle for the first time, on January 19, 2004.
Jesse was a fun loving person, he was so full of life and had a great sense of humor. For example Christmas 2003, he tried to stick his cousin, Nicki's head in the toliet ! He was loved by everyone. If you needed anything or help with something all you had to do was call him and he would be there. I remember many a nights his friends would call him to come pull them out and he would jump right up and away he would go !
As a child he was so cute and funny and full of mischief. His "buds" and him were always having fun doing things like riding bikes, skateboarding, and yes....skipping school, which by the way they got caught ! He would always say, " how do you know Mom?" I would tell him , "Moms know eveything"
Jesse played sports through school starting with t-ball then baseball and scoccer, he loved football and wrestling the most. He was state champion for wrestling in his class. He was in ROTC in his freshman year of high school. When he turned 16 he got a part time job after school at a gas station, he was there for almost a year when they closed it and he went to work part time at a rental company. Then after high school he went to work for his family's business. He was being groomed to take over the company someday. He had such a bright future ahead of him. In September 1999 he met a girl, Jessica, she seemed to be a real nice girl, but little did we know she had another side to her which we never seen until after Jesse left us. He said to me many of times " Mom you just haven't seen the other side of her" I guess now I wish I would have ...maybe he would still be here !
He proposed to her on Christmas Eve, 2002, in front of his whole family. He was so in love with her. From that moment on everything went down hill from there. They started to plan a wedding and in Oct 2003 they found out they were expecting a baby ! We were all so excited! She miscarried the last week of November. That just devastated him, but it didn't seem to bother her. Then she broke it off a week before Christmas, Jesse found out she had been seeing someone 6 months before that ! We never heard form her till the night Jesse shot himself, it was at her home in her back yard along the Intersate. They had , from what I have been told, a really bad fight that night...we still don't know what was said to him to make him do what he did and we probably will never know. 
We all just couldn't belive it as he seemed to be getting over her and was talking about the future. My birthday was the very next day, that's why we know that he wasn't in his right mind. He loved his family so much and we know that he didn't do it to hurt us....he was hurting so bad, and what ever she said to him that night just pushed him over that edge. God bless his heart and soul!
We all struggle everyday and the pain of missing him will never go away, but we all know that life goes on and Jesse would want us to go on and do what God has planned for us, knowing that someday we too will be with him again.
Family and Friends - please feel free to share a special memory that you had with Jesse. I know that there are things he did that I never found out about! Although I did find out alot and he was always amazed that I did.... so please share your stories!

It wasn't the plan
Jesse was such a loving, caring person ! He would help anyone any time of the day or night. When he left this earth he left behind many, many broken hearts ...
that he touched in his 22 years. Why !! we all ask......
Jesse's memory will live on and he will not be forgotten, we all need to remember him for the things that he did, the kindness, the great funny sense of humor he had and all the memories that he has left for all of us....... he will forever be with us.
I Don't Understand .......
If It Was God's Plan
I don't understand why you had to go.
I don't think that I will ever know
I don't believe that it was part of God's plan
For you to die by your own hand
I think God saw the pain you were in
That you fought the battle and wouldn't win
So he took your hand and helped you across
Over to his side with others we lost
Where you could no longer suffer in pain
Where the sun always shines and there is no rain
No struggles at work, now longer the fights
No worries of finances and upleasant nights
That is what I do hope was part of God's plan
With others in Heaven, my handsome young man..
Jesus died on the cross to forgive us our sins
That was before we were born, long before our kins
How would he know what sins to forgive us for?
Because he knew we would make mistakes even more
He knew we would slip and fall along the way
For he is always watching over us every day
He gave us life so precious he didn't want us to take away
But he held out love for those that felt they couldn't live another day
For they were sick and helpless and knew not what to do
They didn't have the strength to fight it anymore, like you
I have to believe that God was there and led you safely home
That you are at peace in Heaven as and angel |
