Kristin Morgan
Hartford family,
I’m sorry to hear of this sad news about Jesse. I knew Jesse from Ivey Spencer. He was amazing in his role and you could tell that he really enjoyed what he did. Please accept my sincere condolences.
James Thompson
Jason, Danielle, Brooklon and Nyla,
I am so sorry for your loss. Far to young to leave this world. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Allen Morgan
I had the pleasure of working with Jesse at Ivey Spencer. He epitomized professionalism doing an independent overnight job that over the years in my career was always difficult to find the right person for. I never had to worry about anything overnight at Spencer and his positive attitude was always a pleasure to be around. My condolences
Sharon and Rob Dale
A beautiful, kind and compassionate soul. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jesse’s family and friends. R.I.P. Jesse

My heart is shared with all who have had to endure the loss of this great person. It is obvious that Jesse has touched many of us with amazing memories. Mine is the air band concert that Jesse and I both sang Roy Orbison song “anything you want ” I will never forget that day. I only hope that Jesse’s time will be as special to the spirits he may touch as it can only be fair that someone now has greater plans for him. Wish I had heard of this sooner. Peace my friend and condolences to all the family and Issac.

I read his name…and I can hear his laugh and see his smile. It’s been decades since I’ve seen him, but to say Jesse was a person that could leave a lasting impression is an understatement. I’ve been rooting for him since we met as kids, and I always wanted nothing but the best for him.
A one of a kind rare gem of passion, positivity and perseverance. That is the Jesse Hartford that I remember.
My heart goes out to every life that Jesse touched.
Dave Smith
