Jesse Lee Hageman

Jesse Lee Hageman, 43, of River Falls, Wisconsin, passed away on May 31, leaving behind a space that cannot be filled and a love that will never fade. Born on May 4, 1983, Jesse lived his life with a full heart, a sharp wit, and a generosity of spirit that touched everyone around him.

Jesse's greatest joy, the very center of his world, was his children, Kara and Jacob. Everything he did, every long day and every quiet sacrifice, was for them. His devotion to them was steady, fierce, and unmistakable.

Jesse built a meaningful career as a roofer and took great pride in his work. He was known for his strong work ethic, his reliability, and the craftsmanship he brought to every job. Outside of work, Jesse will be remembered for his love of his Cadillac, his enjoyment of fishing, his passion for skiing, and the adventures he found in traveling.

Jesse had a rare gift for lifting the weight off a room. He was always quick to lighten the mood with his hilarious wit, the kind that came naturally and landed perfectly. His easygoing nature and genuine warmth made people feel comfortable in his presence, and he had a way of bringing light into even the hardest days.

Those who knew him will remember his loyalty, his humor, and the quiet strength he carried even through the hardest moments. His absence will be felt in countless small moments-the ones where he would have cracked a joke, offered a hand, or simply stood beside someone who needed him.

Jesse was preceded in death by his mother, Diana Tri, whom he loved deeply. He is survived by his children, Jacob and Kara; his father, Steve Hageman; his siblings, Jennifer Sireno (Joe), Jacob Hageman (Heather), and JoAnna Kremer (Derek); and many nieces, nephews, family members, and friends who will carry his memory forward with love.In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to Jesse's children, Jacob and Kara.A memorial service will be held Saturday, June 13th, 2026, 5:00 P.M. at Bradshaw, 4600 Greenhaven Dr, White Bear Lake, MN 55127.
