Title: Re: remember Jessy Pitts Post by: RLR84 on January 12, 2009, 08:17:05 PM Heres just some old memories with Jessy in season 2 of ssqsa. He raced B and 16-24. I got the privilege to travel to races, go to practices, and work late nights on the bikes to get ready for the next race. I was part of Jessy's life first hand and he was something else. He was so young but was full of so much (good times, joking around,riding,sleeping,movies,eating,on the computer,arguing,pissing Tony off Ha). We will never forget you bud R.I.P.

I really do not know what to say but i am so very,very,very sorry and Deeply Hurt that you and your family are having to go through this. I was completely teared up and upset by this myself and cannot begin to fathom what you are facing,but,if you reach out we will all be there just as you were for any of us who needed it!! If you need anything you give any one of us a call and we will be there ! For those of you who have never had the great and distinct honor of meeting Tony and his family you truly have missed out on one of the greatest group of people you could have ever met-no matter what you needed from parts to someone to root you on from the side of the track to pulling out a wrench and helping you get back on the track,something to eat or a place to stay you could always count on Tony and his family...Oh Yeah let's not forget Tony and Jesse cutting it up on the side of the trailer-one of the best examples of a Father/Son Team you could ever have....... We Miss You Jesse-R.I.P. :'( There will be some kind of gathering this weekend for a prayer and donations for Tony and his Family- I have also spoke with Brett and the Race this weekend will be Dedicated to Jesse ! I have no idea how to end this,but,Tony we are here for you and your family Toby Title: Re: remember Jessy Pitts Post by: T2 on January 13, 2009, 06:41:59 AM Tony I have never met you or your son, but as a parent of two I can't even image what your going through right now.

Title: Re: remember Jessy Pitts Post by: Eworm on January 13, 2009, 02:51:01 PM Tony,
I don't know you, but I do know where you're at. I too was in the same exact place you are today about 14 months ago. I was in North Carolina training for the job and got the call from my wife about my daughter one morning. That was by far the worse day of my life and the plane trip back was horrible to say the least. Stay strong and it will get easier, not necesairly better but easier. It will take time to heal but YOU WILL HEAL! Please let me know if you need someone to talk to or anything at all. Your son is in a better place!

Title: Re: remember Jessy Pitts Post by: bigjohnscott on January 14, 2009, 12:57:53 PM Hi Tony and family. We're so sorry for your loss. I taught Jesse in 9th grade math. He was always a joyful kid to have in class....sure, he wanted to be out mudding or riding a 4 wheeler... but every single interaction he had with me was respectful and courteous. chanin attends our church and brought him a couple times...it was so good to see him again. hundreds of kids down here are mourning your loss and have lost a part of themselves too. Many of these same kids just went through Ben Geiger's death and wake in September...many of them send their love in this time.
"Big John" John D. Scott Title: Re: remember Jessy Pitts Post by: mom 2 4 on January 14, 2009, 02:51:42 PM Dear Tony and Theresa,
My son was a friend of Jessy, and all these kids are feeling a terrible loss with losing Jessy and Taylor. Jessy was going to move in with my son, Phil, this week. We are all at a loss and feel such a tremendous heartache. He is devastated that he has lost such a great friend. May you both find strength and peace in knowing that Jessy and Taylor are angels watching over you, and one day you will be reunited with your son in a better place. May your friends and family comfort you and keep those beautiful memories alive. With our thoughts and prayers, Ted, Melissa, Phil, and family Title: Re: remember Jessy Pitts Post by: JKRacing731 on January 15, 2009, 12:50:07 AM So sorry, my prayers go out to you & your family.

Thank you Lyndon and Jake for your Memorial Lap for Jessy. I'm sure that it was difficult to do. Brett, Nice words this morning in the riders meeting. Makes me cherish our racing family even more!! jt Title: Re: remember Jessy Pitts Post by: MedicMudder on January 19, 2009, 12:25:34 AM Went to the BBQ/Memorial today,it was great to all of the people that came out to recall Jessy's life/memory.Jessy had a lot of people that
cared about him.He will be missed by all that knew him.A parent should never have to say good by forever to their children. Jessy is looking down on us now,riding on the fastest track ever,with the highest jumps,with perfect landings every time!!. I suppose God needed a great rider on his team.... But we all wish Jessy was still with us. So ride today,tomorrow,ride for Jessy/for yourself!!!. Tell your children that you love them today,even if just by a smile or words but do it...... Jessy...Go rest high on that mountain,then ride down as fast you can!!! God bless Jessy and his MOM/DAD/SISTER.. Title: Re: remember Jessy Pitts Post by: LostCause on January 19, 2009, 03:21:34 PM I must say that was the hardest thing that I have ever done but at the same time the most gratifying.

I met you and family at a track where Jessy was racing and I was taking pictures. I'm sorry I just heard of this a day or two ago and am just now posting this here. My words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss and I cannot pretend to understand how you are feeling. If you are still looking for pictures I'll go through what I have from the SSQSA and mail you a CD. Id@ |
