Valensky

Jesse Eric Valensky, 26, of Boy Scout Road, Connoquenessing Township, passed away unexpectedly Thursday morning at home.

Born Dec. 9, 1986, in Butler, he was the loving son of Ricki and Debra (Rieger) Valensky and the loving brother to Justin.

Jesse was a 2005 graduate of Butler High School and continued his education at Butler County Community College and finished his education in 2012 at Slippery Rock University with a bachelor’s of science degree, making all his family very proud of him.

He recently got his first job in the chemistry field at the James Austin Co. in Mars, working at the same place his father has for years and with the many wonderful people he truly enjoyed.

In his leisure time he enjoyed spending time with his brother and many friends.

He enjoyed fishing, snowboarding, biking, dirt biking, quad riding, pool, golfing, weight lifting, paint ball tournaments, online gaming, cooking, playing guitar and reading. He was an encyclopedia of knowledge, and was always helping family and friends.

We will always love and miss you Jesse. A big piece of our hearts left with you that day to go be with God.

Surviving and also missing you very much are grandparents, Joe and Penny Valensky of Connoquenessing and Ken Rieger of Prospect, three aunts, five uncles and many cousins.

He was preceded in death by his grandmother, Jean Rieger.
