With broken hearts, we share the passing of Jesse Ryan Alexander, who tragically left us far too soon on April 21, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family and friends.

Jesse was just 16 years old, a bright, respectful and funny young man who brought joy to everyone he met. He was the light of his parents’ lives and a true friend to many. He loved riding ATVs and dirt bikes, fishing and camping, always making memories with those he loved. Though his time here was short, his life was filled with happiness and connection.

In his final act of kindness, Jesse gave the gift of life to others through organ donation, saving lives and leaving a legacy of compassion and selflessness.

Surviving are his loving parents, Jon and Linda Alexander, and his biological mother, Jamie Ransom. Jesse will be deeply missed by his siblings Jared (Des Luce) Alexander, Jaden (Vera Reid) Alexander, Brittany (Steven Miller) Skillman, Jasmine (T.J. Troutt) Combs and Katelyn (Tyler Epperson) Combs.

He is also survived by grandparents Carl (Kriss) Edwards, Barb Remington and Joan Ransom; and by many aunts and uncles who loved him dearly, Todd (Crystal) Alexander, Steve (Vicki) Alexander, Bill (Amy) Patterson, Jeff (Beth Brown) Patterson, Mike (Christine) Patterson, Ron (Robin Swanson) Patterson, Timothy (Rosanne) Patterson, Bob (Amber Smith) Patterson, Jason Ransom, Mary (Jim) Deboy, Martha (Jeff) Barnes and Mary (Rusty Moore) Patterson.

Jesse was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, John F. and Norma Jean Alexander; and maternal grandfather Jon Ransom.

The world feels a little smaller without Jesse in it, but his spirit will live on in the hearts of everyone who knew and loved him.

Friends are invited to attend a celebration of life from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday (April 26, 2025) at the Bradford Township Volunteer Fire Department on Interstate Parkway.

Memorial contributions, if desired, may be made to the Bradford High School Auto Shop Program.
