Jesse Velasquez

      Jesse Velasquez passed away on the evening of August 19, 2025, at the age of 63, after spending a beautiful day surrounded by his beloved family. Though his time with us was far too short, Jesse's life was filled with love, purpose, and a profound impact on all who knew him.

Born in 1961, Jesse brought light and warmth into the lives of everyone he met. He is survived by his devoted wife of 44 years, Stella, their three children Jesse, Randy, and Jessica and his cherished grandchildren, Sandy and Little Randy.

Jesse's life was centered around family. He found joy in even the simplest of moments spent with loved ones, fishing, gardening, watching movies, or just sharing stories around the table. His passion for the outdoors and his green thumb were a constant in his life, gifts he lovingly passed on to his children and grandchildren. Every family gathering echoed with his laughter, his love for cinema, and the quiet strength of a man who lived fully and gave generously.

In 2006, Jesse founded Rapid Precision Machining, a CNC machine shop he proudly ran with the help of his son and his wife for over a decade. His precision work served both medical and air craft industries, but it was his dedication to teaching and mentoring that truly defined his professional legacy. Self taught and highly skilled in the Field of CNC manufacture engineering for over 25 years Jesse became a master of CNC machine programming, always eager to share his knowledge and encourage others to learn and grow in the trade.

Beyond his career, Jesse was a hands on teacher at home as well. Whether it was fixing a car, tackling home repairs, or taking on a new project, he instilled in his family the values of self-reliance, curiosity, and perseverance. He never hesitated to get his hands dirty and made sure his kids weren’t afraid to either.

Jesse leaves behind a family that will carry forward his wisdom, his passions, and his enduring love. He will be deeply missed, fondly remembered, and forever honored.

A private service will be held by the family.

The family asks that in honor of Jesse you spend time with your loved ones, share a good movie, or plant something in Jesse’s memory just as he would have wanted.
