Jesse N. Fossedal, age 29, of Helena, passed away August 18, 2023. He was born June 21, 1994 in Hastings, MN.
We lost Jesse too soon in his young life. Loved by his friends, family, and all that had a chance to be touched by him. He was a loving father to his daughter, Kara, who was his world. They played, cooked, baked cookies, went trick or treating and they both loved each other so deeply. Kara will miss her father! so very much.
Jesse is survived by his daughter Kara Fossedal; his father, Grant Fossedal; his bonus mom, Deb Fossedal; his mother, Terri Bestervelt; brothers, Taylor Fossedal, Kyle Fossedal, Aaron Fossedal; and his sister, Megan Fossedal. Jesse is also survived by many grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews. He is preceded in death by a brother, Devin Reynolds.
Special thanks to Jesse’s best friend, Dustin Scott and to the Berg family.

To Jesse’s family,
I don’t know if he ever mentioned us, or me, but he was a good friend. None of us would be where we are now without him, and now that he is gone we feel adrift in an endless ocean with an overcast sky.
That is the kind of man your son was, your grandson, your brother, and I hope Kara knows what kind of man her father was. He will not be forgotten, we will try to live on with him in our hearts, and I can only hope I will see him again some day.
Your father loves you more then the world, Kara. Never forget that.

Jesse was a good guy. I remember when he turned 21 we had a lot of good memories together. Over time we drifted but we’re never far enough we couldn’t chat about video games or how his daughter was growing so fast. Rest in peace jesse, me and Kayla will miss you.

Jesse and I worked in the same company, he was such a good person , a very good co worker, and a good father. I still cannot believe that he was gone. Rest in peace Jesse, I’m gonna miss you.

Jesse regularly attended board game night, and was often the brains and strategist of our other world expeditions, all with a great sense of humor. He cared for his friends and prioritized Kara above everything. Prayers are being offered for Jesse and his family, may Mother Mary hold him in her loving embrace. God bless!

Jesse was so kind to me and my teenage children. He had such a caring, friendly, tender-hearted demeanor. His loving, thoughtful words took care of all who interacted with him. He was always there to help anyone in any way. He was proud of his work and dedicated to it. He loved his little girl so much and prioritized her above everything with sweet commitment and devotion. He did all he could to be the best dad he could be. We’re so sad he’s gone and hope he knew how special he was to us and how much we appreciated him and his tender loving care of everyone. Rest in peace, Jesse.

Grant and Family, I am so very sorry for your loss of Jesse way too soon. My daughter Jackie met him at the gates of Heaven to show him around. I am so sorry Grant, and my heart bleeds for you as our children are supposed to bury us, not the other way around. Where there is sadness, love plants a garden of memories. May your garden forever bloom!
