Always think about Jesse and his whimsical smile and spirited attitude. I often take a moment to reflect back on some quality times....experiencing football memories and bittersweet episodes. The first time seeing him crash into ocean waves in Florida with the BI Untouchables......such Wonderful moments. I'm sure Jesse is looking down and getting excited about football season starting again....
Once an Untouchable, Always an Untouchable!!
Love & Missya Jesse....Coach Montemayor.

Rest In Peace Jesse. I love you big brother! I'll never forget anything you taught me. You made everyone you ever met a strong person. You were seriously an enormous part of my childhood and life. Our little childhood family went through alot together and you were the one that held us together. Nobody is ever going to forget about you, and that's a promise Jess!

You'll forever be missed and loved Jesse Mariano Diaz. It was an honor to have grown up with you and be able to call you my friend. It still seems so very unreal. Please Watch over us all JD! We will meet again!
