Sad. I loved Jessi. RIP. But it reminds me of the saying. If one day the speed kills me. Don’t cry. Cause I was smiling.

I heard it earlier today. Very sad. Anyone know the cause of the accident?

RIP, I will be praying for her friends and family.
She seemed like such a nice person. She did a lot for the industry actually wrenching and driving, instead of falling prey to the norm (Becoming a pin-up girl/hood ornament). If there is any good news about it, she was doing something that she loved.

R.I.P. She lived balls to the wall and it caught up with her, I really liked the way she took things to the limit. She will truly be missed.

There's no good way to die but dying doing what you loved is the best way.

This one tore me up. Such a trailblazer greeted with little fanfare, didn't get her metaphorical flowers until her passing. It's bittersweet to see Jessi finally get the acclaim she deserved only after her passing. So many dudes in the industry who are untalented, unscrupulous, unskilled or otherwise undeserving of their platforms, she wrenched on all manners of autos and drove the piss out of them without ever getting that big push. Hopefully she never wanted it and was more content living an awesome life IRL instead of shilling a fake lifestyle on TV like the rest of these clowns. RIP to a true beacon.

This really sucked to hear. I have fond memories as a kid of Saturday morning watching her on Spike/Powerblock. She went out doing what she loved.

RIP Jessi. You left us far to early but we will remember everything you accomplished while you were here.
