The world bids a tender and heartfelt farewell to Jesse J. Harrison, who passed away on May 10, 2025, at the age of 36. Born and raised in Baltimore, MD, Jesse was a radiant presence in the lives of those who had the privilege to know them—a person whose spirit illuminated every space they entered and whose memory now lingers warmly in the hearts of many.
Jesse’s life, though brief, was filled with purpose, compassion, and a rare depth of character. Whether through a warm smile, a listening ear, or a quiet act of generosity, Jesse made it their mission to spread kindness and positivity in all they did. Their legacy is stitched into the everyday lives of those around them: family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues alike.
A beloved child, Jesse was cherished deeply by their parents who nurtured their lively curiosity and supported their aspirations from the earliest days. Jesse also shared a powerful bond with their siblings, forming unbreakable ties that stood the test of time, distance, and life’s many trials. Together, they laughed, cried, and grew—woven into one another’s stories as only siblings can be.
Throughout their life, Jesse inspired others not through grand gestures, but through the steady, everyday acts of grace that defined who they were. A loyal friend, a supportive family member, and a valued member of the Baltimore community, Jesse had the unique ability to make others feel seen and heard. They believed in the good in people, and they made others believe in themselves.
Jesse’s passion for life could be seen in many facets: in the way they cared for their loved ones, the causes they stood behind, and the creative or professional paths they pursued. They had an eye for beauty and a heart that beat in rhythm with those who needed a friend or a champion. To know Jesse was to experience encouragement, laughter, and comfort all at once.
As friends and family gather to celebrate the life and mourn the loss of Jesse, they do so with gratitude for the gift of having had them in their lives. Though Jesse’s physical presence will be deeply missed, their spirit remains a guiding light—a reminder to live kindly, love fully, and make each moment count.
A graveside service will be held in honor of Jesse’s life on May 20, 2025, where loved ones will come together to pay their final respects, share memories, and begin the long journey of healing. It will be a time not only to grieve but also to remember the joy and light Jesse brought into the world.
In the words of those closest to them: “Jesse never met a stranger. Their heart was open, and their arms even more so. In their absence, we carry forward their legacy—not with sadness alone, but with hope, with kindness, and with love.”
May Jesse J. Harrison rest in eternal peace, their memory a blessing to all who knew them.
