Chris Jesse |9:12 AM| Chris Jesse was my boss at the movie theater, and as far as crappy summer jobs go, he was the best boss that I could have asked for. He took care of his people, he ran an honest and decent theater, and he was a funny guy. He lost an arm to cancer about 3 years ago. He had to close the bar he had opened (a longstanding dream of his), then it got into his throat. After being in the hospital numerous times, it got into his lungs, his liver failed, and they had to pull the plug 2 weeks ago. They had enough time that they could gather 30 or so of his friends. Chris deserved a lot better than the shit life handed to him, but at least his suffering is over, and he didn't die alone. I was told he scheduled to get married the saturday after he died.
He was a good guy, and I'll miss him. It's a strange feeling, he was a friend but not a close one. It's more of a general melancholy to hear he passed away then a stabbing pain in the heart. Whatever there is after death, I hope it's treating him better.
