Following the fire, the Wild issued a statement calling Jessi “a kind, compassionate person that cared deeply about her family and those around her.” Several NHL teams responded to the X post, offering condolences to her family and the Minnesota hockey community.
Jessi’s Bardown Beauties cohost Kirsten Krull also paid tribute to her late podcast partner, writing on Instagram that she was “like another big sister” and that her children “loved her kids and family fiercely.”
“Hudson, Cayden and Avery were the best kids,” Kirsten continued, “and I’m so grateful she let me be part of their lives.”
Meanwhile, The Athletic reporter Michael Russo shared a particularly poignant message for Jessi’s husband Mike Pierce in the wake of the tragedy.
“My heart breaks for Mike for the loss of his wife and children and Jessi’s family, friends and colleagues for this unimaginable loss,” he wrote on X. “Please keep Jessi and her beautiful kids in your thoughts and prayers. I wish Mike all the peace and support and happiness in the world.”
