Personal life

According to an article in the Mogollon Rim News, "Jesse was born in Ojai, California to parents James and Dorothy Horn. During his childhood, Jesse's family moved every couple years due to his father's job with the Park Service. They lived in places such as the Rim of the Grand Canyon and Yosemite. According to the Journal of Emergency Medical Services, Horn is a firefighter and paramedic reserve for the Heber-Overgaard and Arizona Fire Department and sits on the White Mountain Child Abuse Prevention Council.[8] [9] In 2016, it was announced on the Skeptoid website that Horn was diagnosed with Glioblastoma grade 4, a deadly brain cancer. Author Catherine Ryan Hyde shared via Facebook that a GoFundMe account was set up in Horn's name to help him and his family with the medical expenses.[10] Artist Gris Grimly wrote on his Facebook page about Horn's cancer, stating "Cancer has impacted yet another life. I met Jesse Horn through my art. He is a creative, good-hearted individual, father and husband. And now he and his family ask for help. There are many people in the world who need financial assistance, and as an individual you can't help everyone. As a new family man myself, I feel an emotional string to stories like this."[11]
