Jesse Urquhart

Dear Jesse:

You were taken from us far too soon, Jesse. And we love you so. We want you back, but that’s not possible.

If we had only known, that when you left that day, you would never return to us, we never would have let go of you, ever.

You are our adored son, beloved brother of Michael, Darren, Mathew and Scott.

The love of Rylea’s life, and grandson to Evelyn and Myrtle, nephew and cousin and soon to be an uncle, of a big loving family.

Your passing has devastated us all.

Jesse Urquhart McKay passed away suddenly on Aug. 15, 2004 in Krestova, BC at the age of 17 years as the result of a motor vehicle accident.

Jesse was born to Laurence and Bonnie McKay on April 16, 1987 in Abbotsford, BC. He leaves to mourn his passing Dad and Mom, four brothers and one sister-in-law, Collette. Also his Nana Lewis and Grandma Fraser. He also leaves behind many uncles, aunts, cousins and other relatives and a multitude of friends.

Also left behind to cherish his memories, Rylea, the love of his life.

Jesse attended ESR Elementary School in Mission and Mt. Sentinel High School in South Slocan.

Even though we must be apart, know that when you hear the whisper of the wind, it will be me saying hello.

When you smell the first fragrant flowers of spring, you will feel my presence.

When you see a butterfly, you will know, I have just passed by.
