Jesse, you left us so suddenly in late May,
None of us were expecting the news we received that day.
You were born; Jesse Lester Hockett,
But to many you were known simply as the “Rockett”.
Son, Brother, Husband, Cousin, Friend, you fit them all,
The Good Lord sent you a message and you took the call.
As a Racer, you could wheel them all; wing, non-wing,
Dirt, pavement, 360, 410, silver crown, midget, anything.
You were a “racer’s Racer”; never ever afraid,
The last true “Outlaw” and the best in the trade.
Fearless, aggressive, crazy and happy, those are just a few,
Of the words that would describe the “Rockett” we all knew.
Loved, respected and admired by many near and far,
Because of the great person you are.
You leave us now, all with very heavy hearts,
But we all know you and Daniel are no longer apart.
Rockett, you are in our hearts and minds and you will leave us never,
For Jesse, we will love and miss you for ever and ever.
