I just stumbled across this article while searching for family on Ancestry.com. Jamie was my younger cousin. The last time I was actually with him, and his older brother Michael must have been around the mid-1960's. When we were young, I remember visiting his dad's walnut farm with my family. I remember catching toads in the summertime, and eating dinner outdoors. I never met his wife as he left home between my few visits, but my heart hurt to hear about his passing. He must have been truly a great man according to the many good things everyone has said.
God's blessings to his wife and children, now grown. 3/6/2016

I went to Upper lake High School with Jamie and later we roomed together at the College of the Redwoods for a year. Unfortunately we didn't keep in touch after he left College of the Redwoods and I heard that he moved to Alaska. I didn't know about his death until I came to this site to check on fellow brothers in law enforcement that have died in the line of duty. Even though we hadn't kept in touch it still came as quite a shock. But typical of Jamie, the people that knew him loved him and thought so highly of him. He was a good friend and roommate and I'm sure a great correctional officer and family man. RIP Jamie.

By reading the relections you can get an idea of the respect and love your family and co-workers have for you. You're not truly gone as long as the lives you touched are alive. I will not weep for your death Officer Hesterberg, yet I will thank God that a man like you ever existed. Thanks Brother.

It's been 5 yrs. since we lost our first brother in the line of duty. You are not forgotten and our work continues. I think of you from time to time and pray for your family, who know doubt misses you more than we do. But there is hope for the future, in a joyous reunion when we meet on the other side! Rest in peace.

It is hard to believe that it's been almost 5 years since we lost you my friend. You are missed beyond what mere words can convey. You would be proud of all those who still carry on with the thankless jobs corrections presents. I have moved on to North Idaho where I have finally realized my life dreams of teaching and self enrichment. School has been hard but the rewards are beyond the imagination. Please wait for me where ever you are my brother. I love you still. Dale

God bless,
