We invite you to come together with the family of Jesse Christopher Dublanica to share in our memories and to wish him a final farewell on November 16, 2020, at 7:00 PM EDT.
Jesse, 41, of Yonkers, NY and formerly of Mansfield, MA passed away on Tuesday, October 27, 2020.
Born in Denver, CO on May 2, 1979, he was the loving son of Peter Dublanica and his wife Wendy and the late Lorraine (Lewis) Dublanica. In addition to his father and stepmother, Jesse is survived by his beloved children Parker, Christopher, Wade and Adeline of Mansfield, MA; Maeve of Scarsdale, NY; and Sequoia of Yonkers, NY. Also, he was the dear brother of Suzanne and her husband Seamus Corbett of N. Attleboro, MA; and, Cody and his wife Heather Sutton of Woodlawn Heights, NY. In addition, he leaves behind his maternal grandmother, Rita Lewis of Greencastle, PA and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and nephews.
He graduated from Mansfield High School in 1997. He then moved to New York City where he worked continuously as a member of IATSE Local 52 as a lighting and rigging technician in the movie and television industry.
Jesse’s greatest joy was sharing time with those he loved. His pastimes included skateboarding, art, music and a love of the outdoors.
Jesse had the biggest heart and he touched more than he knew.
We look forward to you joining us for this Remembrance of His Life.
For the support of Jesse’s children, a “Go Fund Me” page has been setup for any donations.

I was so saddened to hear of Jesse’s passing, it is such a tragedy. My family was neighbors with the Dublanicas in Denver, my childhood memories of playing with him and Cody, of riding our big wheels and tearing up and down our street. When I think of him, I think of bright white-blonde hair, much like my youngest sons. Of a smiling kid that tagged along with Cody and I everywhere. I never saw him after they moved, although I’ve kept in touch with Suzanne and my parents with his father. I knew he was on the east coast, had kids, he was living his grown up life like we all do, I would wonder what he was up to every now and then.
My thoughts and prayers to his family. I cannot begin to imagine how hard this is for them. Virtual hugs.

I was devastated to hear the news of Jesse’s passing. I’ve fallen out of touch with him since adulthood but the impact he had on my life will stay with me forever. I always thought we would meet again someday to laugh about old times and I will always regret not getting that chance. I’m so sorry to his family, who always made me feel part of the family

I am heartbroken that I will never see Jesse again. He was like a Son to me. I nicknamed Him Woody! Reminded me of The Actor Woods Harrelson. He loved it. He was a best friend to my Son Tim. Jesse would come and spend weekends with me when He had down time and needed spoiling. We could talk til 3 in the morning sometimes. He was kind, loving. and a generous soul and like a Son to me. My Heart goes out to His Family and all His friends.

I would get to see my nephew Jesse at family gatherings where he shined. Love of family was at his core. I would hear stories about how he would drive hours for just a few minutes to be with family or friends that were sick or who were just passing thru the area. He was that kinda free spirited loyal guy.

I grew up with Jesse when he lived in my neighborhood. I remember the fun times we had as kids playing outside until dinner time. Our families were close when you lived around the corner. Suzanne was our favorite babysitter. I’m am extremely sad to hear of Jesse’s passing. May he RIP and be reunited with his Mom. Suzanne, Cody and Peter my prayers are with you all.

There’s a place in the clouds with a gate open wide, and all our dear loved ones, waiting on the other side. They’ll hold us in their arms and say how have you been. There’s a place in the clouds where we’ll see them again. (From a song by Rory Feeks.) Love you Jesse, you were done too soon. Uncle Dave

Jesse was very near and dear to my heart. We met when we were barely teenagers at Woodward and spent 4 years, writing letters, racking up phone bills (sorry parents!) traveling cross country to visit and spend time together. He was my best friend throughout high school and I will forever cherish all the love and encouragement we shared. Sadly, we lost touch for many years but when we reconnected as adults, the friendship was just as strong. My heart hurts so much with his loss again from my life. Jesse was such a blessing to so many and the impact he had on my life was immense. I am so sad to say good bye to my friend.

We were so sorry to hear of such a tragedy. Jesse was one of my son David’s best friend. They grew up together because we lived diagonal to them when they were young. Jesse kept in touch through the boys and almost every Christmas he would stop by to say hi and chat, even if Dave wasn’t there. We love you, Jesse, always. We will miss you. May God give you peace now. You were a good man.

I am sorry for your loss. Jesse was a friend of my daughter Danielle Landers & her husband Tim Landers. I met him when we moved. He was very gracious to help us.
