I'm putting this here because when he was active this was his primary area of activity. He was in Ramblings all that much.

He hadn't active on here in YEARS...but he was an AZ OG. We used to text quite a bit, but hadn't really in nearly a year and half. We last texted in March of 22, and he had reached out to me. I was busy with my life. He was a devoted single father. I know via Facebook he had just bought a house with girlfriend. And actually, it was an outpouring of his friends posting and tagging him on FB that I just found out. Shocking and sad. He was a good dude.

RIP "Teh Jesal"

 

No way. That's really sad to hear. He was an OG. His NSX was an influence in my purchase years ago. His thread in this forum on the S2000 is still current.

Jesal

 

I am speechless. This is awful news.

 

so sad and tragic and unexpected. you just never see anything like this coming.

life is short, there's no time to hold grudges and stay in the rut with old stuff, gotta keep moving and cherish life and all your blessings.

 

Sad news. He certainly was a respected member of this community. RIP CB and may your family find solace and peace through this.

 

Wow. This is sad news. Been a really bad year.

 

Might be someone else, because he had the car for like a month. I drove over to his place when he picked up the NSX. It was on a whim and I think he just got a good deal on it. He was concerned something was wrong with the steering wheel. I explained for his year, there was no power steering. LOL! End of the day, he was just not a honda/acura guy.

I met Jesal when both of us had Acura “type s” cars in 2000/2001. He organized meets and really helped move the car community forward locally. Later on he became a mod here and staple on acurazine. I remember all these late night threads where I was constantly refreshing to read what he had to say pre-socal media. He was well liked, super witty, and even stayed on when he switched to BMW. He was able to make friends and connect with people so easily.
RIP old friend. You impacted so many people and will be greatly missed.

 

I know he was from Chicago. I've interacted with him a few times here but never met him. He worked at IND, didn't he?

That is very sad to hear. I wish the best for his family and may he rest in peace.

 

YOU were a big influence in my purchasing my NSX, too.

 

If anyone is so inclined, a gofundme was established for his son.

Wow...sorry to hear about his passing.

 

 

Wow, this is terrible

 

I was just thinking about him and the old OGs, wondering where he was. So sad to hear of his passing

 

nice guy. rip

 

Terrible news to hear. I remember him from here an had a couple of conversations with him over the years. Seemed like a good guy.

 

That's terrible

 

Terrible to hear, seemed like a great guy. I remember refreshing his threads as well and just watched his BMW exhaust video the other day for some reason, RIP.

 

RIP brother, he was one of the OGs!
