Honoring Jesse Quintana: Aid for His Family

Our dear friend, teacher and parent, Jesse Alan Quintana passed away on Tuesday, October 15th, 2024 doing what he loved most. He had just had a wonderful day with students but had a massive heart attack which he could not come back from. Jesse had been battling kidney rejection following a successful transplant which was viable for 8 years plus. Jesse had also suffered a stroke and a cardiac episode in the past 18 months. Through it all, Jesse forged ahead and continued to work without giving up or complaining. His dedication to his students, staff and his two daughters was amazing. He remained driven to fulfill his obligations as a teacher, mentor and parent regardless of his health challenges. Due to his medical profile, Jesse had many expenses and wasn't able to save much money. We ideally, would like to take the burden off of his daughters, Brooke and Lexi and provide Jesse with dignified end of life services. It would be a bonus if we could give Brooke and Lexi a bit of a cushion when continuing without him in their lives. Thank you for anything you can provide.
