At the time of her death, BSG Public Relations president Brian Gross told E! News about Jane, “Jesse Jane was a vivacious person who had an absolute and ultimate love for life. During her time in the adult industry, of which I was able to spend wonderful moments with her, she was an incredible professional who cheered everyone on and brought sunshine to every film set she worked on.”

“There is not one person in the adult industry who didn’t spend time with her, whether onset or in a social setting, that she didn’t make smile, laugh, or both. She would light up a room as soon as she walked in. I will personally miss her very much for the reasons above. Her smile was everything,” he added.
