He was born on November 8, 1991 to Jeffrey Appleton and Debra Lynn (Darr) Appleton in Brockport, NY. After graduating high school, he joined the United States Army where he served with the 101st Airborne Division before returning home from Afghanistan.

Jesse loved being outdoors and to go hunting. He loved to draw and started to do tattoo work for other people. Jesse’s dream was to buy property so he could build houses to help his other fellow veterans.
