Honoring Jesse: Fund for a Fitting Goodbye

I am raising money to help cover the costs for my brothers funeral and burial.

Jesse Ray Kalchert passed away unexpectedly on June sixth of this year, he was only 31 years old.

Jesse was a father, with a beautiful young daughter who he loved with all of his heart and soul. An extremely intelligent and creative young man who could always find the light in even the darkest of circumstances. Jesse had an unrivaled sense of adventure and passion for life that illuminated everything he did. He was friendly and outgoing,

He loved music, and had excellent style and taste. He was a talented artist and could often be found sketching ideas for paintings or writing poetry.

Jesse was a carpenter who dreamed of starting his own business renovating properties, and then travelling the world.

Jesse was more than just my older brother, he was my best friend and all my life I looked up to him. I wanted to do everything he did because he did it so well and made it look so good. He had so many interests and such a unique perspective, he will be dearly missed.

Jesse deserves a proper burial and send off, but unfortunately I don't have the financial means to provide this. We have basically been on our own since our early teens and don't have much family or support.

Any money received will go towards his burial an funeral service. I hope to provide the farewell he deserves so that his many friends can say their final goodbyes.

I thank all of you in advance and to our family friends, the time and date is to be determined.

I hope I hold the service on the weekend of his birthday (June 23)
