It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we announce the untimely passing of Jessie Reyes, age 29, from Gainesville, Georgia, who left this world on June 24, 2025. Jessie’s departure has left a profound void in the lives of all who knew and loved them—family, friends, and a community forever touched by their kindness, joy, and resilient spirit. Jessie was a person whose presence brought light into the lives of those around them, and now, that light has been dimmed far too soon.
Born on October 17, 1995, Jessie was the shining light in the lives of those fortunate enough to know them. Their warmth and care were reflected in everything they did, from the way they interacted with loved ones to their daily acts of kindness. Jessie’s way of spreading light was not through grand gestures, but through small, meaningful moments that made others feel seen, heard, and appreciated. Whether it was a warm smile, a listening ear, or a helping hand, Jessie had the unique ability to turn ordinary moments into treasured memories, making those around them feel valued in the process. They had an unparalleled way of showing compassion, and their empathetic nature resonated deeply with everyone they met.
Jessie’s family was their world. Raised by their loving parents, Luis Reyes Garcia and Cecilia Reyes Castillo, Jessie learned the importance of unconditional love, unwavering support, and the values of strength, integrity, and faith. Their parents were the cornerstone of Jessie’s life, offering the nurturing environment that allowed them to grow into the remarkable individual they became. Jessie’s relationship with their siblings, Cathia and Edgar Reyes, was one filled with deep loyalty, laughter, and lifelong friendship. The bond they shared was built on a foundation of love and mutual respect, and they supported each other through the highs and lows of life. Jessie’s siblings will forever carry their memories and the lessons learned from a sibling who was always there—whether it was to share in moments of joy or to offer comfort during difficult times.
Jessie’s spirit was one that transcended their immediate family. The ripple effect of their kindness and genuine care reached far beyond their home, touching the lives of countless friends and extended family. Jessie was a pillar of support in the Gainesville community, where their warm-hearted nature and uplifting presence made them a beloved figure to all who knew them. Jessie’s legacy, however, is not measured by years, but by the impact they made in such a short time. The depth of their connections and the love they shared with others will continue to be felt long after their passing.
The news of Jessie’s passing has left the community in a state of grief, but it has also prompted many to reflect on the immense impact they had during their lifetime. Jessie’s memory is carried with love by all who knew them, and their influence can be seen in the people whose lives they touched. Jessie’s ability to bring people together and make them feel valued is a testament to their character, and the love they gave is a lasting reminder to all that kindness and compassion can create meaningful change.

This will provide family and friends with an opportunity to come together in remembrance and reflection. Jessie’s family invites all who were touched by their presence to join in this time of gathering and to share in the memories that will continue to live on. Following the visitation, a funeral Mass will be held on July 8th, offering a sacred moment for all to celebrate Jessie’s life and the values they held dear: faith, family, and love.
