In Loving Memory
When I Leave...
When I must leave you, for a little while
Please do not grieve and shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow to you, through the years
But start out bravely with a gallant smile:
And for my sake and in my name,
live on and do all things the same,
Feed not your loneliness, on empty days,
But fill each waking hour, in useful ways,
Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer
Jesus M. “Jesse” Morales, Sr.
And I in turn will comfort you, and hold you near:
1946 ~ 2006
And never, never be afraid to die.
For I am waiting for you in the sky!

Jesse was born January 23, 1946 in the Bronx, New
York to the late, Amelia and Placido Morales. He

Placido, Jr., and David. He had a successful 29 year

Jesse had a passion for life and motorcycles. He
was the founder of Local Chapter 439 Tribe of
David of the Christian Motorcycle Association.
He volunteered at the Salt Cellar Coffeehouse and

God intended to treat each other. He touched the
hearts of everyone he met. We will love and miss you
always.

of 29 years, Leida Lopez Morales and is also survived
