Yeah, so bummed about this. Just yesterday I was looking at her Instagram picture where she walks towards what would become her last ride.

A shame. May she Rest In Peace.

Used to see her on all those "Pwerblock" shows years ago, she had a cool personality and I liked the fact that she didn't have a "fake; we hired this 'car girl' to balance out these guys and make it seem like she's 'one of the guys'" type of characters. All of the other women on Powerblock seemed like they were hired after auditioning to play a "car girl" character, whereas Jesse seemed real. I liked that. Didn't realize she was even into this stuff or held the record. Very sad that the world lost a genuine car girl, such a rare breed.

I saw this last week and I have to say it made me really sad. She was really cool. I guess the cliche is that at least she died doing what she loved.
