West Jordan, Utah – Jesse Cervantes, a dedicated youth lacrosse coach from West Jordan, tragically passed away after suffering a heart attack during a Saturday game.
He was 37 years old.
Cervantes, known for his infectious energy and passion for the sport, coached the team his eight-year-old son, Alfie, played on.
He had a deep connection with his son, often sharing moments of joy and victory on the lacrosse field.
Cervantes not only taught the players the technical aspects of the game but also instilled values of teamwork and perseverance.
A beloved figure, he was described as an outstanding father who poured his love, support, and enthusiasm into his family and the young athletes he coached.
His wife, Brittany Cervantes, frequently spoke about his magnetic personality, which drew people to him and created a welcoming environment wherever he went.
On Wednesday night, more than a hundred friends, family members, and team players gathered to honor Jesse’s memory.
His legacy will live on in the lives he touched both on and off the field.
An obituary for Jesse Cervantes will be released at a later date.
