Jesse Sturm, 31, of Beaver County, passed away on July 12th, 2025, held forever in the hearts of those who loved him most. He was born on August 31st, 1993, the son of Deanna (Buczynski) Redmond. In addition to his mother, Jesse is survived by his stepfathers, Jeffery Giles and Brian Redmond, his beloved son, Brayden Sturm, his sister, Brittany (Garrett) Covalt, his brother, Hunter Giles and his grandparents, Donna Buczynski, Penelope Giles, and Larry Giles, his niece, Zoey Sade, his nephew, Parker Covalt and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Raymond Buczynski.
Jesse was a passionate, kind, and spirited young man whose memory will forever be cherished. From an early age, Jesse’s world revolved around sports. He had an uncanny ability to remember every stat and score, often favoring ESPN over textbooks. He traveled the country with his mom to attend games, soaking in the excitement of stadiums and arenas across the United States. Jesse didn’t just watch sports: he played them. Baseball, golf, soccer, and football all filled his youth, but his most treasured moments were spent fishing with his beloved pap. Jesse also loved playing video games and poker; a passion he carried with him throughout his life. Whether relaxing after work or spending time with friends, gaming was one of his favorite ways to unwind and connect.
His other great passion was cars: especially Volkswagens and Audis. He found joy in attending annual Volkswagen enthusiast shows with his friends, turning a hobby into a career he loved. He was exceptional at sales in the auto industry, known not just for his knowledge and drive but for the genuine connections he made with those around him. Above all, Jesse was a loving father. The birth of his son Brayden in October 2021 brought him immeasurable joy and purpose. Whether they were playing cars, wrestling on the floor, or letting the family dogs Koby and Finn join in the fun, Jesse enjoyed every moment with Brayden. He often spoke of his dream of one day seeing Brayden lace up skates and play hockey: a dream that speaks to the hope and love he held for his son’s future. Jesse’s life, though far too short, was filled with passion, integrity, and love for his family and friends. He will be remembered for his big heart, his sharp wit, and giving someone the side eye when he didn’t agree. He will be missed more than words can express.
A visitation will be held on Tuesday, July 15th, from 4 P.M. until the time of a funeral service at 6:30 P.M. in the Alvarez-Hahn Funeral Services and Cremation, LLC, 547 8th Street, Ambridge, who was in charge of his arrangements.
