Claire Alyssa Jeske tragically died in a car accident on February 22, 2026 at the age of 15. She would’ve turned the sweet age of 16 on April 9th. She was taken way too soon and while she was here, impacted the lives of so many people.

Claire had a real zest for life. She was a Sophomore at New Ulm High School. She loved dance and was a part of Just for Kix for the last 8 years. She also loved horses and spending time with her family, friends, and her boyfriend. She was sassy, so witty, and well spoken with her words. She made everyone around her comfortable and laugh and brought joy and light with her always.
