I don't know how to say goodbye to Ben, the light of my life. I don't know how to describe what an amazing person Ben had become. I can tell you stories about how funny he was, how gorgeous he was from the moment of his birth and that he had become an incredibly giving and gracious young man. I could describe his love of his friends, music, football, surfing and other sports. I could describe his absolute love of traveling, and the number of places we had been and the places we planned to visit. I could describe the ease with which he told someone they were important to him, his way with little kids, his ability to talk to just about anybody. I could tell you about his amazing eye behind a camera lens or the way in which he could tell a story. I could tell you about how smart he was, how incredible his ability to see the details in things. I could tell you about his mannerisms and smiles when he was excited about something. I could tell you…, None of that is enough. In fact, no words will ever be adequate. He was the love of my life., He leaves behind an extensive circle of family and friends.

Jesse Holman Burnett, was born August 30, 1977 in Everett, Washington and was taken suddenly from us on May 20, 2011 due to an early childhood heart condition., Jesse grew up in Arlington, Washington and graduated from Arlington High School in 1995, and then from Western Washington University in 2002 with a BA in Theatre of Arts/Dramatic Writing, with Honors. Jesse was a loving son, brother, uncle, boyfriend, friend and keeper of the stray cats that sought him out, knowing his good nature and kind heart would save them. His passing leaves us all with a vast hole in our lives and our hearts., He leaves behind his loving mother; Jane (David) Roberts; father, Richard Burnett; sisters, Jenni (Jeff) Hartman, Tessa (Sam) Bondurant, Dawn (Mark) Bostwick; brother, Jason Roberts; nephews, Zachary Hartman, Cole Bostwick, Andrew Roberts, Jacob Bondurant; niece, Sage Hartman; girlfriend, Melanie Winslow; numerous uncles, aunts, cousins and uncountable friends. Jesse also leaves behind his three cats, Charles, Blue Eyes, and Orange Cat (aka Irritation), who will miss him dearly but will be well taken care of by Jesse's family., At the age of 18, Jesse bought a piano and not only taught himself how to play, but taught himself how to play beautifully and passionately. He also later taught himself to play the guitar with the same vigor. He and Melanie enjoyed writing, composing and performing music together, and everyone benefited greatly from the joy of their music. We rejoice in the fact that we will continue to listen to his recordings, keeping his music fresh in our minds and our hearts., From acting to directing to writing, Jesse did it all. His performances in local plays in Western Washington received rave reviews.

Jesse was supportive of the many groups that frequented the store and greeted all customers with a warm welcome., Jesse's passion for cooking led him to a career in the food industry.

He could prepare food that was so beautiful that you didn't want to eat it, but was so mouthwatering that you just couldn't resist it., Talented, kind, funny, compassionate, gentle and caring are just a few words that describe Jesse. Watching movies and sports, playing soccer, floating the river, reading, writing, cooking, painting, listening to music and making music were some of his favorite pastimes., In living, Jesse was a free spirit; in death there are no limits, restrictions, or boundaries, and his spirit must be soaring above us in a place of limitless freedom and peace. Jesse, we love you, we love you, we love you and will miss you always., A memorial service will be held on Thursday, May 26, 2011, at 3:00 p.m. at Weller Funeral Home, 327 N.

This new church yard and Memorial Garden is on the family's old home property in the Pinehurst area of Everett., This site, through the 1960s and 1970s, heard the laughter of boys and girls swinging from trees and making forts. Later, as teenagers, it was a go-kart race track, up the driveway. Many readers will have participated as pre-teens and teenagers at this site., Adulthood and manhood brought heavier machinery, hit-and-miss engines, buzz saws, and big chain saws. We will try to remember these golden times in tribute to Matthew., All friends and co-workers are invited to give one last tribute to Matthew's memory, time on earth and friendships enjoyed. |
