In December last year, Jesse’s father Henry told journalists that he felt “empty, sad and broken” following his son’s death. 

In a statement, Rita Ofor, Jesse’s mother, said her son was “my anchor, hope, strength, and support system. 

“I will miss your smile, calls, hugs, play, music, help, birthdays, prayers, outings, and everything.”
