Obituary

Jesse James Barajas Jr. 52, of Phoenix, Arizona died May 23, 2021 in Phoenix, Arizona.  He was born January 3, 1969 to Jesse Barajas and Betty Higuera in Phoenix, Arizona.

Jesse was a wonderful man whose great story telling abilities and outstanding taste in music will warm our hearts for all of our lifetimes. Jesse was a loving father/grandfather to 4 children and 4 grandchildren. Being a father was something he took absolute pride in. Jesse raised his children to be compassionate, respectful, loving, loyal, honest, and taught them the true meaning of family. Jesse never forgot to say “I love you.” Followed by the most unforgettable bear hugs that were so tight I can still feel them. Jesse was a true jack of all trades. He was a fabulous dancer, great cook, crafty carpenter/handyman, teacher, motivator, and a master instigator/jokester. Those are just a few of many beautiful qualities that Jesse brought to this world. With all that being said we can all rest easy at night knowing that Jesse has done his part in this life and has earned his “Golden Wings.” We all know in our hearts we are protected by the most glorious guardian Angel that heaven has to offer. May you Rest In Paradise, until we are all together again.

Forever remembered by his daughters Kristina and Jessica and sons Jesse and Matthew. Also, by his grandchildren Jayce, Kyleigh, Tyce and Lada. Jesse will also be lovingly remembered by his siblings, Bobbi (sister) and brother Xavier, Michael and Manuel.  He is survived by his mother Betty Higuera.

    The Love of My friend Sylvia Borrego’s life, her first boyfriend in Jr. High. Nothing will ever match up to them 2. Always happy together, having fun & enjoying each other like nothing I have ever seen. They both were so happy together. I didn’t know Jesse that well, but I did know that he was so loving, giving and patient, he showed Sylvia of how an actual relationship SHOULD be !! He showed her True Love Everyday and that’s how I knew him by seeing my friend the happiest she has ever been. All the years that I have known Sylvia, she was just NOT the marrying type but, when Jesse came back into her life, there was NO DOUBT at all. He was the person she was meant to spend the rest of her life with. They were made for each other… in life and the life after.. Here’s to You Jesse.. Thank you for making my friend the happiest I’ve ever seen her.. Gone too Soon………… May you Rest in Paradise…

  2. Our parting is not the end of our relationship it is only an interruption. My healing will be knowing that you my Son are in the presence of our Lord in a place so wonderful Christ called it Paradise. Jesse I will miss you everyday for the rest of my Life my heart is broken and you took some with you. I am so very thankful that God brought you back into my Life even if it was for short while and you found some happiness that you deserved. I will miss your call’s and hearing how’s my mama doing today you need anything ending our call with I love you my Mama reminding me you were just a phone call away or the dinners you would bring me always included desert and the PJ’s you bought so I would be comfortable. however I know in my heart someday you will be there to meet me again and that my son will keep me going here for your Sister, Brothers, all my grandchildren and great grandchildren with your help.
