In memory of Jesse Menchaca

We are coming together here to support our dear friend and colleague Jesse Menchaca’s family. Jesse tragically passed away, leaving his wife and two beautiful young children behind. There was nothing in this world that mattered more to him than his family. This comes as a complete shock to us all.  Jesse worked as an ER PA at both Sierra View, and Kaweah Delta. He cared for so many - he not only cared for his patients with compassion, but he treated us all like family. He worked hard, was quick, smart, and would go above and beyond to get the job done. He was a true patient advocate and this community will be forever affected by this loss. People came into the ER requesting to see him and even asked if he could become their primary doctor- he was special and everyone knew it.  Jesse served in the military, traveled the world, loved the outdoors and had just recently bought a ranch up in Three Rivers. He worked tirelessly to create a beautiful life for his family. He had the best smile, most contagious laugh, and was passionate about life. He often talked about how incredibly blessed he was for the life he had.  This is a huge loss for his beautiful family, his ER family, and this community. We will all be feeling this loss for a long time. He is irreplaceable and he is missed beyond belief. His young family needs all the support they can get right now. Please give anything you can as well as your thoughts and prayers. Feel free to share as well. Jesse, we miss and love you. We are all so thankful you were in our lives and we are forever changed because of who you were. Rest in peace, my friend.
