"Jesse Andres McKusick passed away on November 4, 2022, at the age of 32. Born in San Jose, Costa Rica, Jesse became a naturalized citizen of the United States in 2000. He is survived by his parents Donna and John McKusick, his sister Crista Yagjian and brother-in-law Eric Feindel, and his beloved nephew Nate Feindel, who gave him the name "Uncle Jesse." Numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins were part of his extended family. He had a host of good friends spanning his life who describe him as one of the warmest people they have known. Many said they felt honored to be his friend.

Jesse graduated from Loyola Blakefield High School in 2009, and he completed courses at Barry University, Towson University, and the Community College of Baltimore County. Jesse was passionate about aviation and had completed many hours of flight instruction. In addition, he was preparing to take the state real estate licensing exam.

After having played lacrosse and basketball in his formative years, as an adult Jesse was a dedicated fan of college lacrosse, college basketball, the Baltimore Ravens and, most recently, professional hockey. Jesse derived great pleasure from contemporary music, about which he was very knowledgeable. Jesse enjoyed travel, especially to the beaches of his country of birth, Costa Rica where he dreamt of pura vida, "the good life." He loved all dogs, especially his pet boxer Zoe whom he regularly took for hikes at the Gunpowder River.

Jesse will be missed for his warm smile and his deep friendships. Friends and family are invited to attend a Quaker Memorial Meeting for Worship at Homewood Friends Meeting, on November 26 at 2:00 pm at 3107 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21218. Close friends and family are invited to celebrate his life from 5:00 pm-9:00 pm at The Chasseur in Canton. You can honor Jesse by contributing to your local animal rescue, going for a hike, or spending time with your friends. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his name to the American Liver Association and BlueWater Baltimore.
