Bobby Farrelly’s Son Dies from Overdose

Jesse Farrelly, son of Bobby Farrelly, 1/2 of the Farrelly Brothers (Something About Mary), died of a drug overdose in Orange County, CA late Wednesday night. Police got a call about an unresponsive young male, possible drug overdose, on Wednesday evening. Jesse, 20, was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

“It is with profound sorrow that we accept the passing of our beloved Jesse following his struggle with addiction. We fully trust that he is now in the hands of our Lord.”

“We are immeasurably grateful for the abundance of happiness and laughter he brought into our lives, and we will rejoice eternally for all the moments we got to breathe in his wondrous spirit. The family thanks you for your well wishes and kindly asks that you respect our privacy during this difficult time.” TMZ

Well that sucks. But he must have known that was one of the possibilities when he took all those drugs. The other was riding over a rainbow on a half-unicorn, half-Angelina Jolie creature.

I was in treatment with him in October. My thoughts and prayers are with his family especially his sisters who he talked about often. Jesse was bright, funny and compassionate. Very sad day :(

Dad should have tried some “parenting” that may have prevented this tragedy.

Sometimes there’s nothing anyone can do. As an addict myself I feel for Jesse and his family but shame on whoever has anything negative to say about someone who lost there life.
