Jesse R. Alexander
In Loving Memory of Jesse Ryan Alexander
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 survived by grandparents: Carl (Kriss) Edwards, Barb Remington, 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 is 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 on Saturday, April 26, 2025, from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm at the Bradford Township Volunteer Fire Department on Interstate Parkway.
Funeral arrangements are under the direction of the Hollenbeck-Cahill Funeral Homes Inc.
Memorial contributions, if desired, may be made to the Bradford High School Auto Shop Program.

I was a behavioral therapist at Bradford for many years. I met Jesse while I was there. As we progressed through the various grades, Jesse would talk to me often. I can still see his smiling face and can hear him speak to me saying” How are you Mrs. Ritts?”,And other statements. I feel bad that he had to leave this world. May God’s blanket of comfort wrap you tightly.

He would always stop by and talk to me if I was outside. We had a lot great conversations. When we were done talking I would always tell him to keep the shiny side up. He will always be shining on us. He will be missed. My condolences to all the family and friends.
